  • 4 x 100 kg FAB-100 bombs + 4 x RBS-132 rockets (400 kg total)

Defensive armament

Main article: Berezin UB (12.7 mm)

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.

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • Two 23 mm cannons make the plane very effective in head on situations

Cons:

  • The plane can be rather 'slow' compared to other planes

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.
