Survivability and armour
Examine the survivability of the aircraft. Note how vulnerable the structure is and how secure the pilot is, whether the fuel tanks are armoured, etc. Describe the armour, if there is any, and also mention the vulnerability of other critical aircraft systems.
Modifications and economy
Armaments
Offensive armament
The IL-2M type 3 is armed with:
- 2 x 23 mm VYa-23 cannons, wing-mounted (150 rpg = 300 total)
- 2 x 7.62 mm ShKAS machine guns, wing-mounted (750 rpg = 1,500 total)
Suspended armament
The IL-2M type 3 can be outfitted with the following ordnance:
- Without load
- 12 x 25 kg AO-25M-1 bombs (300 kg total)
- 4 x 50 kg FAB-50 bombs (200 kg total)
- 4 x 100 kg FAB-100 bombs (400 kg total)
- 4 x RS-82 rockets
- 4 x RBS-82 rockets
- 12 x 25 kg AO-25M-1 bombs + 4 x RS-82 rockets (300 kg total)
- 12 x 25 kg AO-25M-1 bombs + 4 x RBS-82 rockets (300 kg total)
- 4 x 50 kg FAB-50 bombs + 4 x RS-82 rockets (200 kg total)
- 4 x 50 kg FAB-50 bombs + 4 x RBS-82 rockets (200 kg total)
- 4 x 100 kg FAB-100 bombs + 4 x RS-82 rockets (400 kg total)
- 4 x 100 kg FAB-100 bombs + 4 x RBS-82 rockets (400 kg total)
- 2 x 250 kg FAB-250M43 bombs (500 kg total)
- 4 x RS-132 rockets
- 4 x RBS-132 rockets
- 12 x 25 kg AO-25M-1 bombs + 4 x RS-132 rockets (300 kg total)
- 12 x 25 kg AO-25M-1 bombs + 4 x RBS-132 rockets (300 kg total)
- 4 x 50 kg FAB-50 bombs + 4 x RS-132 rockets (200 kg total)
- 4 x 50 kg FAB-50 bombs + 4 x RBS-132 rockets (200 kg total)
- 4 x 100 kg FAB-100 bombs + 4 x RS-132 rockets (400 kg total)
- 4 x 100 kg FAB-100 bombs + 4 x RBS-132 rockets (400 kg total)
Defensive armament
The IL-2M type 3 is defended by:
- 1 x 12.7 mm Berezin UB machine gun, dorsal turret (150 rpg)
Usage in battles
The most interesting feature of the IL-2M type 3 is its above-average weapons. Especially, its 2 x 23 mm cannons are very effective because of its high velocity and excellent damage. It can and will make short work of enemy aircraft as long as you hit. Pilots flying the IL-2M type 3 should use this as their advantage at all times.

History
In-game description
On 21st July 1941 the lead designer of the IL-2 Sergey Ilyushin sent a request to the People's Minister of Aviation, calling for improvement of the IL-2 by upgrading the engine to a 1,675-HP M-82 and increasing the aircraft's armor. The request was extremely urgent, considering that the rapidly advancing German troops at the time threatened serial production of the engines then used on the IL-2. Several influential Party members also called for upgrading the IL-2's engine. Another crucial change, in conjunction with the engine, called for converting the aircraft into a two-seater, based on combat experience. The second crewman would mainly deal with protecting the rear section of the Sturmovik from aerial attack, making it, in the designer's opinion, "nearly invincible". An aft fuel tank, previously installed behind the pilot in the armored tub, was replaced with a gunner compartment under a stretched canopy, armed with a 12.7mm (.50-cal) UBT machine gun with 280 rounds of ammunition. The gunner position, just like the pilot's, was well armored.
Once the prototype was tested, all test pilots concluded that flight performance of the new variant was worse than that of the earlier IL-2 AM-38 variant; however, no changes in overall behavior were noted, the armor was very effective, and no shortcomings that made flying dangerous were uncovered. Therefore, the new prototype was accepted for serial production.
Media
Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
