General information

The IL-2M "Avenger" is a premium gift Soviet strike aircraft. It was introduced as a premium pack in Update 1.41.27. It was removed from the store after the 2016 clearance sale. It was again available briefly in the store during the 2018 Winter Sale and has since been made available in-game for Golden Eagles for a limited time during the 2018, 2020, 2021, 2022 "Defender of the Fatherland", and the 2023 "Defender Special" mini-events.

The IL-2M "Avenger" is a premium variant of the IL-2M type 3 strike aircraft. It is an excellent variant of the IL-2 series, a very well armoured aircraft, though somewhat little manoeuvrable and lacking in energy retention and as such it should avoid confronting fighter aircraft. However the offensive armament is nothing to be trifled with, the hitting power of the 23 mm cannons is more than enough to obliterate any enemy aircraft, but dogfighting should be left to purpose-designed fighters. It also has a rear gunner equipped with a 12.7 mm Berezin UB machine gun, capable of dealing with any enemies attacking from the rear.
