What are the IL2 rockets for? How powerful are they? Can either type (last I recall there are 2 types) kill tanks?

Hmmm ... "Almost every Soviet military aircraft of World War II was known to carry RS-82 and RS-132, often using field-made launchers." ... another AH2 conspiracy against Russian planes.

only at begin of war
later they figure out diferent tactics and use mixed formations
RS was poor weapon to hunt tanks laters models, PZkW, 4, 5, 6 was quite safe.
But RS was very good for fighting troops, road traffic, camps, trains, trucks, light armor.

As for anti-tank weapon they use bombs
