Description
Ilyushin Il-2 dive bomber
I disagree with "dive bomber". It's plane for ground support, low heights, lots of possible ammunition - it could be used as tank-destroyer (missiles, bombs), antiinfantry (load of grenades), or antibuilding (something like twin flamethrower). It's grandfather of A10 and it's whole class.
nope, its a dive bomber
Typical dive bomber is Stuka - high altitude, 180 roll, straight down to target and in low altitude drop bombs and balance to go back to base. I haven't heard Sturmovik was used this way. It has really different wings for dive bombing. In both czech and english wiki it's called just ground attack plane.
Yes, the IL2 is like Su-25, A-10, A-7, A-26, etc. It's a ground attack plane. Not a divebomber, there is quite a difference.
