Have you got turn rate, turn radius, hight gain on a chandelle, or combat turn, roll rate etc.?

A fair comment and admit that I don't have any detailed turn rates for the Il 2.
Would you settle for as the IL 2 is approx 150 mph slower, 7 ft longer, 6 ft wider, had a loaded weight of approx 2,000lb more, combined with a lower powered engine and wasn't designed as a fighter, its a fair assumption that the IL 2 was a much easier target for AA fire?

If you or anyone else has similar examples please let me know. I will support or explain any fact or statement that I have made, on any posting on this thread, will withdraw any that I am unable to substantiate and apologise for any confusion. I don't think that I can be any fairer than that.
