Only two fighters I have ever killed with the Il-2's tail gun are a P-51 and an La-7.

It can kill if you are accurate. In general it isn't very useful though.

Mace2004,

The Mossie had the external view when it first came out as it was in the "Bomber" category and flew out of the Bomber Hangars.  It was silly though as the Mossie we have is a fighter-bomber.  It was often used in the air-to-air role, though most often at night.  The performance combined with the nose mounted firepower made the Mossie a fighter coming out of the bomber hangar in AH.

I have to agree on the 110. Several times I've been closing in on one from behind only to suddenly be eating cannon fire HO.

And before anyone asks, I AM seeing the change in target AoA. I haven't seen SPITS 180 like that.

Like my squaddie Nunn said to the noobs in the TA crying about me out-turning their Spit16s in a 110:

The flaps themselves are like growing a couple P-51 wings, much less the rest of the wing area.

The point of my post being, from all the data I've EVER seen on the 110, it SHOULDN'T be able to do that. I've even had one in a DIVING TAIL-CHASE do a perfect pure-yaw 180 and climb back up on me.

I think the performance of the IL2 is out ot line. It was a Ground attackplane. Poor manoeuvrability which made it easy prey for powerful Fighters. It need fighter cover to Survive. The IL2 could not turn with a figher like it can in AH.

 Ed,
  the IL2 is not overmodeled,was slow, heavy cuz of armour but good turn rate
In game has the huge advantaje of outside view,+ one of the best cannons
