If it was called in your VETERAN shit was GOING to die whether you liked it or not. Eve tanks took a ton of damage from it.
So the nerfed POS you're looking at now is from the aftermath of what it once was, that video is pretty accurate

The IL2 could use a damage increase. however be careful, good lord we don't want the IL2 of early coh2

Maxims are UP? News to me..

Yes anyone who makes a load of maxims at the start of the game isn't very smart, especially against OST. Maxims are just too easy to decrew with rifle grenades thanks to the bunching mechanics. I always groan when I see a Soviet ally making like 3 of these of the bat, they generally get destroyed too.
So either people who maxim spam aren't the greatest or maxims aren't the greatest (little from column A, little from column B).

It may not ez wipe anything on the map like before but it usually causes heavy enough damage to light vehicles or infantry to make the retreat or kill them. Rarely wipes them out, but the damage isn't nothing. Best used during a combined assault, not by itself.
The problem is that it is hugely overpriced for what it does. You have the JU87 which for just 20 ammo more can take out freaking KV-2s, wreck full health AT guns or cause significant damage and suppression to infantry in a single strafe. The P47 pure antitank strafe causes more infantry casualties than the IL-2 for christs sake. The pinplane is just as damaging as the IL-2, is cheaper and causes way more suppression.
The IL-2 strafe can stay as it is, but it's price needs to drop a lot to justify the poor performance of the ability compared to other strafes.

Well for one, the Stuka CAS is a bit OP, the IL2 really shouldn't be much more powerful than it already is just a bit more powerful and maybe add some more suppression. The pin plane is not as damaging I'm pretty sure. Last time they nerfed it it essentially does zero damage. The cost of the IL2 is fine, the performance is just a little lacking. Making it around 120 munitions would just make soviet players be able to call it in around the clock.

il-2 is pretty good against infantry and similar to the old stuka in terms of damage to vehicles (pretty bad). no idea how well it hit's infantry now though.
Its some suppression and some damage.
Basically it can't decide if it wants to be a pin plane or CAS and as a result, suck horribly at both.
Shots track infantry(for loitering IL-2), but deal so little damage that full barrage concentrated on 1 squad MIGHT kill it on 2nd pass.
