Talk:Ilyushin Il-10

I added the last sentence to get an idea on production vs the Il-2 which was 42,000. The problem is that in Bombs Away Turtledove has the characters refer to the aircraft as "Shturmoviks" without model. Hozzel thinks to himself that he recognized the engine sound as Il-2s or more likely Il-10s. For that, the two article subsections can stand but later Morozov watches Shturmoviks shoot and rocket some Brits just ahead of him. However, he doesn't identify the type.

It seems to me, given the circumstances, the Soviets would continue to use their stockpile of 2s while manufacturing more 10s giving a mix of both on the battlefield. My thought is to create a "Shturmovik" article, indicate it refers to both types (with links) and then use that for story purposes unless a particular type is specified (like in Hozzel's POV).
