The IL-28 (Italy) is an Italian jet bomber introduced in Update "Alpha Strike" with a Battle Rating of 8.0 (AB/RB/SB).
In the late 1950s, the Hungarian Air Force aquired IL-28 bombers from the Soviet Union. It would see service during the Cold War, eventually being replaced in Hungarian service by the Su-22M3 in the frontline bomber/strike role. This aircraft's camoflage represents IL-28 no.'55' of the Hungarian Air Force, currently on display in the Airplane Museum of Szolnok, in Szolnok, Hungary.
In-game, the Hungarian IL-28 is identical to its Soviet brother, and as such it will perform identically. This aircraft fills the role of the "fast frontline bomber", like the previous propeller-engined Tu-2S-59. This role focuses on interdicting the enemy airspace quickly, striking targets precisely, and then leaving before enemy fighters can intercept. The Hungarian IL-28 may find itself at an advantage when doing this at its battle rating, due to its airspawn and powerful tail gunners. All in all, this bomber can teach players of the Italian tech tree the playstyle of high speed interdiction and strike bombing, preparing them for future aircraft in this line such as the following Su-22M3.
