All you got to do is (or atleast for me.)
Get at a high altitude 2000m sounds good, and do a dive right at it. When you feel like you are at the right spot, drop your bomb. It should go ca boom.

The later versions of the Gustav and Kurfurst have the even bigger MK 108 30mm cannons, which can demolish pretty much anything in a couple of shots

Ive noticed IL2 have a week spot just behind the cockpit. They rip appart when you do it the right way.

In real life IL2s were practically impossible to take down with fire from pure 6 o'clock. Finnish pilots always attacked them from a slight angle: above -> pilot and engine, both sides -> wingroots(thinner armor and fuel tanks), below -> engine and radiator. Afaik wingroots and radiator were preferred as targets.
Ingame they go down a bit easier. My favourite is the wingroots from above, since that way you usually take the whole wing off. Works even with "teh porked" .50 cals. The engine is also pretty vulnerable to .50 cal fire from above. |

IL-2's are actually quite easy to take down
their rear gunners dont always shoot at you, and if you're comming up from below it just hit the engine (simple for some) but if you're lucky, 2/3x20mm in the wing root can actually tear of the wing |

The IL-2s are easy to shoot down. I currently fly the Bf 109-G6. I know I have the option of using the 20mm cannon but I don't. I stead I use five MG151/20s. There are three in the nose and two in gunpods, I've shot down alot of IL-2s this way.

What a lucky sob! I peppered this poor twit from point-blank range with my MG's & the 37mm cannon you can mount to the 110, from one wing tip to another, TWICE! The fecka turns into a ball of flame, dives and just barely get's his nose up just enough to hit the hill slope!

How to bring down a P-40
Happened to me in yesterday's sorties with JG53. I suffered no damage whatsoever.
Hint: That rudder was not dislocated by gunfire |

The 109 is great for that. I've bumped onto a bomber numerous times, you only lose the propellor and the enemy loses parts of it's tail, usually making the crew bail out.
