The IL10 could be the best plane in the game, for it’s the only one that can kill infantry with its canon while other plane can only rely on roquets and is amazing to deal damage to other planes.
I don’t know if it was like this before but the 23mm VYA-23 guns present on the IL2 and IL10 are just monsters!
It finaly a plane which got a good damage model against infantry and other planes!
See for yourself:
Against bomber 5/5 destroyed:
Against infantry area denial:
Is it too much or should it be the standard for planes in the game?
The 37mm on the second il2 and the 30mm mk108s on German aircraft fare way better than the 23mm cannon in terms of anti-infantry and anti-armor. The perk with the 23mm is that they are easier to aim and can actually wreck planes as opposed to the other two.
And before I get the “uhhh acktually, the mk108s can’t pen tanks”, the devs did something funky and they broke the mk108s in this update. They can shred Soviet armor with ease now.
