A couple more variants would be awesome for sure. Don't underestimate the 23mm AP.

37mm cannon is available on single seat IL-2 only one aircraft was fitted with these 37mm's it was in combat service tests November/December 1941.

Then is squadron strength in December 1942 & combat in Jan of 1943.

Not sure though what the time frame is in early war AHII?

Most likely a mid war option with the 37mm.

I doubt a single example armed with 37mm cannons will get the 37mm cannons as an option should the single seat be added.  I'd bet that only the 23mm guns are there.

From what I have on paper no early IL-2 had 37mms, 23mm's were more then enough to destroy German Panzers.

Early war should be Panzer IIIs anyway.

Then you don't have the right paper.
Read all of the 1ST page of this thread.

Sounds like they were rather clumsier mountings than the NS-37.


And when is the cutoff for EW? Your source says they didn't see squadron-level use untill December 1942.

You started this thread and it was obviously about your want and desire in spite of your use of 'we' and Google.

Don't know when is the cut off.
I did say most likely mid war though later in this thread.
