General information
The IL-2 (1941) is a Soviet strike aircraft. It was introduced in Update 1.47 "Big Guns".
The IL-2 1941 is the first IL-type strike aircraft a pilot will get in the Soviet aircraft tree. Players will quickly find out that this plane is very durable, but somewhat slow and unwieldy... although with some skill this plane can surprise attacking enemies. Players should research bombs and rockets as soon as they can, followed by ammo belts to augment your ground-attack role. This plane, as well as the following IL-type aircraft, have roughly the same base attributes you will find in the Pros and Cons below, with a few minor differences between models.
