Apart for flaps, tail controls and fuel tanks someone know other weak spots?
(I’m using the bf110 so 20 mm gun)

Apart from all the bits that are not armoured, everything else is armoured and not a weakspot 
Use the 15mm BF 109 
, that thing deletes ILs.
Most 109 players don’t manouver and get deleted by Il-2’s
The only thing that scares me in the BF 109 F2 are competent biplane users, I can’t do anything but try to outrun them and hope I have enough distance to turn and get a cannon salvo on target.
the cockpit, but I noticed that on enlisted it is difficult to hit it, even if you hit it it seems to be strengthened with bulletproof glass
i hate IL-2 cartoonish air-breaks.

As a WT player, with my Bf1091 f1 i never died to an IL2 in recent times. I usually shoot them down before they get a chance to return to theyre resupply zone. My advice is, wait until theyre flying to a resupply point, they wont do awkward maneuvers. Get really close to him and unleash the 20mm to its tail, wings close to the cockpit. It will probably die quick then
It depends. An I153 M62 is an amazing maneuver fighter. But if you use your massive speed advantage of the 109, just outrun him, turn around, and blast him. My 109s 20mm rips into these biplanes fast, and kills just as fast.
I myself prefer the biplanes to regular fighters.
Any tips on how to best use them.
Absolutely correct - but really few players do so.
Because it IS strengthened with bullet proof glass - 64mm on hte 3 front panes - shown in red below.
And also 6 and 12mm armor plate steel from sides, rear and 5mm from below - the only non armoured areas are small side panels of glass and the top glass panel, as highlighted here:

Dont go for tail but more for the wings and their cockpit. Engine if you get a good spot on it. And only small burst your 7mm accurately cause you need it…Range also matters so conserve with rly small bursts on longer range and unleash when you get closer
Biplanes has the best maneuverability so just go for their tail and utilize your loops, spins and quick cuts.
If the game would be realistic you wouldn’t have to aim for weak spots to down an Il-2 with 20mm rounds.
But then again the IL-2 also flies in Enlisted as if it would have the flight model of an I-16

Rubbish - it is a heap of junk manouver wise - every single plane in Moscow is better than it - including hte SB-2!!
it is just that people dont’ try to dodge it.
Apparently we’re playing two different games. The IL2 manoevers like pure joy in enlisted. You might receive the short end of the stick against ace pilots that absolutely know what they are doing but against 90% of players an IL2 will suffice to give them a really hard time in a turnfight and either shoot them down or make them give up on turning with you out of pure boredom.I’ve won enough against proper pilots in actual fighter planes to know what I’m talking about - without even having to use flaps btw.
Compare that handling to that in games like Il2 Sturmovik or War Thunder Simulator Battles (hell… even just RB) and you’ll realize how ridiculous over performing it is in Enlisted.
Even in fu**ing reality neither the Germans nor the Finish used the IL-2 because it was deemed too dangerous for the pilots. There’s a reason for that: it flew like a brick. Not so in this game with its weird flight and damage models where planes caneat 20 and 30mm shells for days.
