The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a rank {{Specs|rank}} Soviet strike aircraft {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update 1.41]].
+
The '''T-10A''' is an improved modification of the seventh variant of the IS heavy tank family. It was a Soviet heavy tank designed as a complementary counterpart to the initial T-10 variant until a more substantial upgrade could be assembled. It was developed in the early 1950s as part of the Soviet Union's efforts to modernize its armoured forces. Compared to the [[IS-3]], it had better armour protection, a more powerful engine, improved firepower, and the T-10A itself added a vertical stabilizer. The layout of the turret was also changed, making it much simpler to reload the ammunition for the main gun. Despite this, the upgrades were deemed insufficient, prompting the development of subsequent iterations, most notably the T-10B and [[T-10M]], which were considered significant improvements over the T-10A and a step in the right direction for the future of the Soviet Army.
  
−
The IL-10 is the result of the experience of the Ilyushin design bureau in an attempt to made a worthy successor of the famous [[IL-2M (1943)|IL-2M]] ground attack aircraft. Thus, the IL-10 is essentially a reincarnation of IL-2M with various problems of its predecessor being ironed out (most notably its slow flight speed).
+
Introduced in [[Update "New Power"]] as a reward for [[Battle Pass: Season I]], it's the earliest Soviet heavy tank to feature a simple one-plane stabilizer, which makes it much easier to fire on the move and, as a result, is better for more dynamic gameplay. However, it should be noted that the T-10A's armour is not dependable at its battle rating and struggles against high-explosive anti-tank fin-stabilised (HEATFS) and armour-piercing discarding sabot (APDS) rounds. Despite this, the T-10A compensates with its powerful 122 mm D-25TS tank gun, which has a considerably lower reload time than the older 122 mm D-25T tank gun found in previous Soviet IS heavy tank variants.
−
 
 
−
This version of the IL-10 is the 1945 version, equipped with exactly the same armaments with the "Sturmovik", featuring two 23 mm VYa-23 cannons and two 7.62 mm ShKAS machine guns as its offensive armaments, while the gunner is equipped with a 12.7 mm Berezin machine gun.

<!-- ''Describe how the aircraft behaves in the air. Speed, manoeuvrability, acceleration and allowable loads - these are the most important characteristics of the vehicle.'' -->
+
<!-- ''Describe armour protection. Note the most well protected and key weak areas. Appreciate the layout of modules as well as the number and location of crew members. Is the level of armour protection sufficient, is the placement of modules helpful for survival in combat? If necessary use a visual template to indicate the most secure and weak zones of the armour.'' -->
−
The IL-10 offers a much needed mobility improvement compared to IL-2. While the aircraft is still quite heavy and sluggish to turn at times, the IL-10 is able to reach its flat top speed quickly, and is capable of executing some turnfighting moves to caught an enemy off guard. Though you might need to be more careful since the IL-10 bleeds a considerable amount of energy while turning.
+
The armour protection of the hull, as it is a T-10 hull, is very good except against powerful APDS, APFSDS, HEATFS and ATGMs. In a downtier the armour will work well against the majority of vehicles, however chemical rounds such as HEAT shells and ATGMs will have no issues penetrating the hull as well as APFSDS shells. Moving to the turret, it is poorly armoured even against APDS beside the gun breech. The turret may stop APCBC and some APDS shells but should not be relied on to stop HEAT and ATGM nor APFSDS.

In terms of mobility, the T10A lacks speed as well as agility. But it can been seen as quite fast for a heavy tank, the horsepower generated by the engine makes this a beast when moving obstacles and even dead tanks. The mass can be seen as a pro and a con. Due to heavy mass, it has more traction and will not be flipped by explosions or pushed so easily by tanks. However, the mass reduced drastically the top speed as well as the acceleration.

−
* 2 x 7.62 mm ShKAS machine guns, wing-mounted (750 rpg = 1,500 total)
 
−
 
 
−
The IL-10 is equipped with the powerful 23 mm VYa-23 guns already found on the IL-2M, as it is essentially a faster version of the IL-2M. These guns are still effective at its battle rating. The two VYa-23 cannons have a very high rate of fire and a surprisingly effective incendiary tracer that allows it to light up the enemy's engine on fire during head-on or a chase.
 
−
 
 
−
While the two 7.62 mm ShKAS machine guns lack stopping power are not the best offensive armament, you can still use them to strafe soft targets, while reserving cannons for heavier ground targets and aircraft. You can use these guns separately via weapon selection to conserve the proper ammunition for a suitable target
 
−
 
 
−
While the IL-10 sports less anti-air stopping power when compared to the four 23 mm NS-23 cannons on the [[IL-10 (1946)|1946 version]], its 23 mm VYa-23 cannons offer a greater penetration power which compensates the lack of additional cannons.

Being essentially a faster IL-2M with less payload, the early IL-10 has several shortcomings that made the plane less forgiving to fly. However, it still had great potential to dominate the match.
 
−
 
 
−
While you're faster than before, so does your enemy. Unlike the match in the IL-2M where your enemy is slower and you have more time to react, the enemy you'll have to face at this BR is fast and well-armed enough to kill you in seconds if you do not pay attention. You're still able to win a dogfight against fighters via turnfighting, though you may need to be decisive and finish the enemy off as soon as possible due to the IL-10's poor energy retention.
 
−
 
 
−
Ground-pounding capability-wise, the IL-10 has a problem with its mediocre payload, it will occasionally struggle to destroy heavier targets with its bombs and rockets. Though the IL-10 is able to strafe various heavy targets from above thanks to the 23 mm VYa cannons, it also carries 2 x 7.62 mm ShKAS machine guns which are good at strafing soft targets, allowing you to conserve the ammunition of the 23 mm to deal with hard targets.

Even though you have thick armour, HEATFS and APDS will go right through it so be careful. The T-10A's gun is powerful but for targets such as the M-103, you will have a hard time killing due to its effective armour. Your reload time is also very long, you can expect around an 18-second reload which is way less than a IS-3 or IS-4 but still long. When taking a enemy position or cap, try bringing at least 2 allies to help and support you. Since it is a Soviet tank you have a low gun depression of -3°, so avoid positions that need gun depression like hills or rough terrain. One special feature that sets the T-10A from other heavy Soviet tanks is a stabilizer which makes a huge difference in combat, however this works only at lower speeds. You also have a 12.7 mm DShK machine gun to take out lightly- armoured targets, planes, or helicopters.

The IL-10 Sturmovik was a Soviet WWII-era attack aircraft created by the Ilyushin Design Bureau in 1944. It first saw combat on 16th April 1945. Serial production of the IL-10 was set up at three factories, Numbers 1, 18 and 64 and continued for five years. A total of over 4,600 IL-10s were produced, as well as 280 training IL-10Us. A licensed version of the IL-10 was also produced at the Avia factory in Czechoslovakia from December 1951 until 1955, designated Avia B-33. In 1953 and 1954, Czech-produced variants were also exported to Poland, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria. B-33s were armed with four NS-23RM cannon with 150 shells each. A total of 1,200 aircraft were built by Avia.

The heavily-armoured IL-10 with the AM-42 engine was a perfect embodiment of the Soviet "flying infantry fighting vehicle" concept, whose combat efficiency when providing close air support was increased by "high mobility" over the battlefield, and somewhat improved armament compared to those used on the previous mainstay Soviet ground attack aircraft, the IL-2. The IL-10's top speed at sea level was 540 km/h, 596 km/h at 2,600 m, and roughly 620 km/h at 5,000 m. This meant that contemporary propeller-driven fighters could only catch up to the IL-10 given initial altitude advantage, or when using engine boost. Also, aerial combat was not easy.

T-10A

Description

The T-10A is an improved modification of the seventh variant of the IS heavy tank family. It was a Soviet heavy tank designed as a complementary counterpart to the initial T-10 variant until a more substantial upgrade could be assembled. It was developed in the early 1950s as part of the Soviet Union's efforts to modernize its armoured forces. Compared to the IS-3, it had better armour protection, a more powerful engine, improved firepower, and the T-10A itself added a vertical stabilizer. The layout of the turret was also changed, making it much simpler to reload the ammunition for the main gun. Despite this, the upgrades were deemed insufficient, prompting the development of subsequent iterations, most notably the T-10B and T-10M, which were considered significant improvements over the T-10A and a step in the right direction for the future of the Soviet Army.

Introduced in Update "New Power" as a reward for Battle Pass: Season I, it's the earliest Soviet heavy tank to feature a simple one-plane stabilizer, which makes it much easier to fire on the move and, as a result, is better for more dynamic gameplay. However, it should be noted that the T-10A's armour is not dependable at its battle rating and struggles against high-explosive anti-tank fin-stabilised (HEATFS) and armour-piercing discarding sabot (APDS) rounds. Despite this, the T-10A compensates with its powerful 122 mm D-25TS tank gun, which has a considerably lower reload time than the older 122 mm D-25T tank gun found in previous Soviet IS heavy tank variants.

General info

Survivability and armour

The armour protection of the hull, as it is a T-10 hull, is very good except against powerful APDS, APFSDS, HEATFS and ATGMs. In a downtier the armour will work well against the majority of vehicles, however chemical rounds such as HEAT shells and ATGMs will have no issues penetrating the hull as well as APFSDS shells. Moving to the turret, it is poorly armoured even against APDS beside the gun breech. The turret may stop APCBC and some APDS shells but should not be relied on to stop HEAT and ATGM nor APFSDS.

Mobility

In terms of mobility, the T10A lacks speed as well as agility. But it can been seen as quite fast for a heavy tank, the horsepower generated by the engine makes this a beast when moving obstacles and even dead tanks. The mass can be seen as a pro and a con. Due to heavy mass, it has more traction and will not be flipped by explosions or pushed so easily by tanks. However, the mass reduced drastically the top speed as well as the acceleration.

Usage in battles

Even though you have thick armour, HEATFS and APDS will go right through it so be careful. The T-10A's gun is powerful but for targets such as the M-103, you will have a hard time killing due to its effective armour. Your reload time is also very long, you can expect around an 18-second reload which is way less than a IS-3 or IS-4 but still long. When taking a enemy position or cap, try bringing at least 2 allies to help and support you. Since it is a Soviet tank you have a low gun depression of -3°, so avoid positions that need gun depression like hills or rough terrain. One special feature that sets the T-10A from other heavy Soviet tanks is a stabilizer which makes a huge difference in combat, however this works only at lower speeds. You also have a 12.7 mm DShK machine gun to take out lightly- armoured targets, planes, or helicopters.

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • Good turret armour and effective pike nose hull armour, can bounce most kinetic rounds
  • Good side armour which can occasionally protect you from heavy tank shells
  • Decent mobility for such a heavily armoured vehicle
  • Has a powerful 122 mm gun that can knock a majority of opponents with a single shot
  • Has night vision device
  • Has a vertical stabiliser allowing for even more effective "shoot and scoot" tactics familiar to IS commanders
  • 12.7 mm DShK coaxial and commander's weapons make short work of light vehicles, allowing conservation of main gun rounds

Cons:

  • Armour is not thick enough to reliably defend against HEATFS and APDS projectiles
  • Cannot angle due to flat cheeks and ammo stored directly behind
  • Low power-to-weight ratio in RB
  • Bad reverse speed
  • Long reload time
  • No NVD for gunner view
  • Limited ammo reserves and clip sizes for secondary weapons means you may be reloading at inconvenient times
  • Lacks access to modern projectiles like HEATFS and APFSDS, making it a headache to fight against enemy with decent sloped armour
