 The IL-28 (Italy) is an Italian jet bomber introduced in [[Update "Alpha Strike"]] with a Battle Rating of 8.0 (AB/RB/SB).
-In the late 1950s, the Hungarian Air Force aquired IL-28 bombers from the Soviet Union. It would see service during the Cold War, eventually being replaced in Hungarian service by the [[Su-22M3 (Italy)|Su-22M3]] in the frontline bomber/strike role. This aircraft's camoflage represents IL-28 no.'55' of the Hungarian Air Force, currently on display in the Airplane Museum of Szolnok, in Szolnok, Hungary.

It would see service during the Cold War, eventually being replaced in Hungarian service by the [[Su-22M3 (Italy)|Su-22M3]] in the frontline bomber/strike role. This aircraft's camouflage represents IL-28 no.'55' of the Hungarian Air Force, currently on display in the Airplane Museum of Szolnok, in Szolnok, Hungary.
 In-game, the Hungarian IL-28 is identical to its [[IL-28|Soviet brother]], and as such it will perform identically. This aircraft fills the role of the "fast frontline bomber", like the previous propeller-engined [[Tu-2S-59 (Italy)|Tu-2S-59]]. This role focuses on interdicting the enemy airspace quickly, striking targets precisely, and then leaving before enemy fighters can intercept. The Hungarian IL-28 may find itself at an advantage when doing this at its battle rating, due to its airspawn and powerful tail gunners. All in all, this bomber can teach players of the Italian tech tree the playstyle of high speed interdiction and strike bombing, preparing them for future aircraft in this line such as the following [[Su-22M3 (Italy)|Su-22M3]].

 <!-- ''In the description, the first part should be about the history of and the creation and combat usage of the aircraft, as well as its key features. In the second part, tell the reader about the aircraft in the game. Insert a screenshot of the vehicle, so that if the novice player does not remember the vehicle by name, he will immediately understand what kind of vehicle the article is talking about.'' -->
-Towards the end of WWII, multiple captured German prototype jet bombers found their way into Soviet hands, and were quickly analysed and reverse-engineered. One of the first successful production jet bombers to incorporate the technologies learned from these planes was the new IL-28 bomber, which would go on to become one of the staples of air forces of the Eastern Bloc during the '50s and '60s. One such operator was the Hungarian Air Force, who acquired the type in the late '50s and kept using it until it was eventually replaced by the [[Su-22M3 (Italy)|Su-22M3]] in the frontline bomber/strike role.
+The IL-28 (Italy) is an Italian jet bomber introduced in [[Update "Alpha Strike"]] with a Battle Rating of 8.0 (AB/RB/SB).
-Introduced in [[Update "Alpha Strike"]], the Hungarian IL-28 is completely identical to its [[IL-28|Soviet brother]], and as such it should be played the same. The aircraft fills the role of the "fast frontline bomber" previously taken by aircraft such as the [[Tu-2S-59 (Italy)|Tu-2S]] found in the same tech tree, focusing on interdicting the enemy airspace quickly, striking a single target precisely, and leaving before the fighters can scramble. In-game, it finds itself at an advantage when doing this at its battle rating, due to its generous airspawn and powerful tail gunners. All in all, the IL-28 teaches players of the Italian tech tree the playstyle of high speed interdiction and strike bombing, preparing them for future aircraft in this line such as the following [[Su-22M3 (Italy)|Su-22M3]].
