Song

From the depths of hell in silence
Cast their spells, explosive violence
Russian night time flight perfected
Flawless vision, undetected

Pushing on and on, their planes are going strong
Air Force number one
Somewhere down below they're looking for the foe
Bomber's on the run
You can't hide, you can't move, just abide
Their attack's been proved (raiders in the dark)
Silent through the night the witches join the fight
Never miss their mark

Metal wings of death
Prepare to meet your fate
Dive Bomber Regiment
125th

Description

The Soviets watched as the German Junkers 78 Sturzkampfflugzeug (Stuka) rain destruction and terror with deadly precision. An engineer then had an IL-2 Sturmovik into a dive bomber. In 1943,The IL-2X was born. more powerful, more payload, and better flight performance.

It was just an IL-2 with tweaked wings to accommodate more bomb bays. Some chose to put additional RBS-132 rockets underwing. Russian simplicity yet such good performance.

Normal flight control, but before bombing :

  • Select a target first, as the safety prevents friendly forces to be targeted
  • Dive around 45 to 75 degrees, over 75 degrees is not recommended
  • Either press one at a time or hold the fire button to drop the bombs

Foot Notes

  • After landing, do not slam on the brakes. Modulate the brakes and be gentle on it, as it tends to flip forward when you slam the brakes.

  • Because the challenge limits to max of 5 bombs, it's got 4 100kg bombs, instead of 8 50kg bombs
