The net covered runway is interesting. Was this pic taken in the PTO?

Knit cap and D-Day stripes on the Jug give it away as the ETO.

these are armor penetrating bombs designed to drop on convoys of tanks to penetrate the top (weakest armor) in mess...we should have this in game, as far as i know IL-2 were also capable of carrying like 30 or those...

Germans introduced the 8.8 lb SD-4HI cluster bomblet, which had a hollow charge warhead that could penetrate as much as five inches of armor.
78 SD-4HIs were packed into 1,100 lb containers and were used heavily by Ju-87 Stukas

Seems like a 500lb bomb would do far more damage than those oversized hand grenades.

Would be great for killing troops running to maproom.

You had a wider dispersal area with these cluster munitions compared to a single 500lb bomb. Each bomb was 90lb.

The Il-2 was capable of carrying 280 2.5 kg bombs immediately on the bomb-bay folds, or 4x48 in four cassettes. The PTAB 2.5 was capable of penetrating 60 to 70 millimeter tank armor
