Better solution:

Bring air cover.

Same as I said in the other thread.  Fighters ignore noe Il-2s when there are higher bandits around.

Perk the Il-2. :aok

Perk the Il-2.  Issue solved.

It doesn't need to be perked.  We have already proven that, don't see why you must bring out the bat and beat the dead horse again.

Hardly.  That's about as proven as a pyramid scheme.

That thread proved that the IL2 didn't need to be perked.  Whether or not you want to listen is another matter entirely dependent on yourself.

The simple fact is, you want to stop the IL2 from killing your GVs?  Make sure that you have the proper air protection in place to counter the IL2.  It really is that simple.

Funny, I've been killed zero times by Il-2s this tour, but I have 106 kills in gv's.  How did I manage that?

My guess would be either engaging in GV combat where there weren't any IL2s attacking you or had air cover or were milk running undefended bases. 

In any event, your above comment about having over 106 GV kills while not once being killed by an IL2 shows that it doesn't need to be perked or that you avoided combat in areas where the IL2 was flying around.

In game, just as in real life, armored attacks without air cover against defenses with air cover is always going to fail.  However, armored attacks with air cover and local air superiority succeed the majority of the time.

Basically avoiding any tank combat nearby an airfield.  "Nearby" means <~30 miles away.  I've been lucky to escape this tour when an enemy showed up that had flown their Il-2 ~40 miles over 12k foot mountains to grief a gv fight.  At those ranges you're more likely to encouter A-20s because of their speed.
