Armaments
Offensive armament
The Su-2 MV-5 is armed with:
- 4 x 7.62 mm ShKAS machine guns, wing-mounted (850 rpg = 3,400 total)
Suspended armament
The Su-2 MV-5 can be outfitted with the following ordnance:
- Without load
- 4 x 50 kg FAB-50sv bombs (200 kg total)
- 12 x 50 kg FAB-50sv bombs (600 kg total)
- 4 x 100 kg FAB-100sv bombs (400 kg total)
- 6 x 100 kg FAB-100sv bombs (600 kg total)
- 2 x 250 kg FAB-250sv bombs (500 kg total)
- 2 x 220 kg BRAB-220 (1930) bombs (440 kg total)
Defensive armament
The Su-2 MV-5 is defended by:
- 1 x 7.62 mm ShKAS machine gun, dorsal turret (900 rpg)
Usage in battles
Much of the fast ground attack gameplay from the previous BB-1 remains the same with the Su-2, with the notable difference of having 10 mm armour plating around the gunner's station. This single difference means that survival of the gunner against rifle-calibre fire is drastically improved, allowing you a greater chance to keep on shooting back.

OKB Sukhoi BB-1 (Su-2) "Ivanov" Short-Range Bomber with M-88 engine In December of 1940, the BB-1 was renamed the Su-2, after designer Pavel Osipovich Sukhoi, and began to be constructed with the M-88 engine.
