Description
The IL-10 is a rank IV Soviet strike aircraft with a battle rating of 5.0 (AB/RB) and 5.3 (SB). It was introduced in Update 1.41.
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 ground attack aircraft. Thus, the IL-10 is essentially a reincarnation of IL-2M with various problems of its predecessor (most notably its slow flight speed) being ironed out.
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 7.7 mm ShKAS machine guns as its offensive armaments, while the gunner is equipped with a 12.7 mm Berezin machine gun.

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 in a few moment, and is capable of executing some turn-fighting movement to caught an enemy off guard. Thought you might need to be more careful since the IL-10 bleeds a considerable amount of energy while turning.

- 1 x 12.7 mm Berezin UB machine gun, dorsal turret (300 rpg)
Usage in battles
Describe the tactics of playing in the aircraft, the features of using aircraft in a team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but instead, give the reader food for thought. Examine the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).

Pros and cons
Pros:
- Airframe can take some beatings before going down
- Well-armored pilot and gunner seats, as well as engine cover
- Effective multi-purposes armaments
- Quite fast and manoverable for its weight
Cons:
- Mediocre climb rate and poor energy retention
- Defensive armaments is unreliable at times
- Payload options are not impressive
- Usually faces strong and fast opponents with powerful armaments, extra care is advised
History
Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the aircraft in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===, also if applicable).
In-game description
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 armored 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 meters. 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.
Media
Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
