The Su-6 AM-42 was the name given to its latest version, compared to previous prototypes, this one featured learned from the experience of the Il-2s and featured the same rear gunner as the third prototype, but now with a liquid cooled engine instead of a radial engine, the Mikulin AM-42, while this engine was less powerful than the M-71F, it proved to be more reliable, it was tested against the Il-10 in 1944, but the tests favoured the design from Ilyushin and the Su-6 never went into serial production.
+The Su-6 was a project by Sukhoi with the objective of creating an attack aircraft capable of surpassing the Il-2. The '''Su-6 AM-42''' was the name given to its last version. Compared to previous prototypes, it featured the same rear gunner as the third prototype, [[Su-6 (M-71F)]], but now with a liquid-cooled inline engine instead of a radial engine, the Mikulin AM-42. While this engine was less powerful than the M-71F, it proved to be more reliable. The Su-6 AM-42 was tested against the Il-10 in 1944, but the tests favoured the design from Ilyushin and the Su-6 never went into serial production.
-It was introduced in [[Update 1.71 "New E.R.A."]]. The Su-6 is a ground attack aircraft made with a bit of the IL-2 mindset, but with some improvements regarding manoeuvrability and speed, while lacking protection. Despite the improvements, it is still not recommended to go for enemy planes as, unless it is a head-on, you will lose energy quickly and perish. The gunner can help deal with some opponents that stick to your tail, but it has only a 24° horizontal guidance, so it won't help in most cases. The armour is good at the back, but it won't stop much more than a 12.7 mm bullet. Everything is compensated by the wide array of payload options, even allowing you to change the [[NS-37 (37 mm)]] for a weaker but higher capacity and easier to aim [[VYa-23 (23 mm)]], which can still take out pillboxes and light tanks.
