Re: Il-2 pilots with 10 or more aerial kills
IIRC IID only had the option of two 40 mm Vickers S guns besides the two 7.7 mm Brownings. Mk. IV had Universal wing which allow it carrying either S guns or rockets or bombs or drop-tanks. Some even flew with one S gun and 4 rockets. I doubt that Mk. IV with steel rocket rails was a potent fighter, even clean Mk IIBs or Cs were not very potent fighters against contempory German or Japanese fighters.
I am neither but at least some squadron tallies are around, at least that of 6 Sqn (MTO) and 20 Sqn (Burma).
