It was again available briefly in the store during the [[wt:en/news/5232-shop-winter-sales-special-bundle-and-gift-certificates-en|2018 Winter Sale]] and has since been made available in-game for Golden Eagles ({{GE}}) for a limited time during the [[wt:en/news/5345-special-defender-of-the-fatherland-en|2018]], [[wt:en/news/6588-event-defender-of-the-fatherland-en|2020]], [[wt:en/news/7054-event-defender-of-the-fatherland-en|2021]], and [[wt:en/news/7568-special-esport-defender-tournament-and-gaijin-store-sale-en|2022]] "Defender of the Fatherland" mini-events.

 The IL-2M "Avenger" is a premium variant of the [[IL-2M type 3]] [[:Category:Strike_aircraft|strike aircraft]]. It is an excellent variant of the [[IL-2 (Family)|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.

-This plane is, as with all IL aircraft, a ground attacker. It should avoid confronting any fighter aircraft, as it has terrible manoeuvrability and even worse energy retention. In an emergency, the hitting power of the 23's is more than enough to obliterate enemy fighters, but the dog-fighting should be left to the fighters.
