i know IL-2s attacked "soft targets" (trucks, trains, etc) as well as tanks.

but did they ever attack the infantry? Ok. Sure. Yup. Silly question.
That's why they had rockets and bombs and dangerously spinny propellors.

How about specifically with their machine guns?
(I'm guessing the big cannons would be overkill).

elsewhere i ventured the opinion they might shoot at infantry.
With the machine guns.

Somebody disagreed.

i let that argument drop because i have no clue.
But i can't shake my curiousity, my google skills didn't help me.
Any links/references re how IL-2s and infantry interacted = appreciated.

Thanks/spasibo in advance.
