I think it looks cool.
Br 4 Soviet Tech Tree dosnt have any aircrafts, whats is really bad in my opinion.
I think the Ilyushin Il-4 could fit this role.
A video about this aircraft https://youtu.be/xhDzhoxXvJk
If the video is correct it should be atleast some what tough to be destroyed.

Deployment
Il-4 in the Museum of the Great Patriotic War in Moscow, 2017
The Il-4 took part in all major battles on the German-Soviet front, where besides long-range attacks on Berlin, it was also used for close air support of ground troops on the battlefield. It was also used for long-range reconnaissance and as a training aircraft. The self-sacrifice attack by an Il-4 crew led by pilot Nikolai Gastello became famous in the early phase of this war.
Four planes captured by the German Luftwaffe were acquired by Finland and then used against the Red Army.
By 1943, there were about 2,300 Il-4s in service with the Soviet Air Forces, and in the final stages of World War II, there were still over 1,500. The Il-4 was retired in 1949. The torpedo version Il-4T continued to fly with the naval aviation forces until 1952. The successor model was the slightly larger Il-6, of which only four examples existed.

I think the Bomb load of 2700 kg would be to Strong Battle Rating 4 and Enlisted in Generall.
But in Warthunder a Bomb load of 10 × 100 kg FAB-100sv (forged) bomb 1,035 kg exist i think
this a bit + or - would be perfect for Br 4 Soviets.

Maybe the * Rockets: 2 × BETAB-750DS 305 mm rockets.[10]
Version could be Event or Premium?
Other Aircraft Idears for soviet Battle Rating 4 Tech Tree.
If the Allies get in Enlisted a Br 4 Spitfire then the Soviets could maybe get a Land Lease Br 4 Spitfire as well.
I think there is no Excuse more to not fill the Soviet Aircraft TT gap!
Back To Ilyushin Il-4
- Yes Ilyushin Il-4 in BR4 TT
- No Ilyushin Il-4 in Br4 TT
- Yes Ilyushin Il-4 but as something else
Maybe if added in Br 4 Soviet TT , then maybe the Axis should get a Bomber in Br 4 as well maybe a
Dornier Do 17?
