How about adding the A-36 Apache and Mustang I and Mustang II variants to Il-2 Sturmovik 1946 because the A-36 was a pretty good dive bomber and it was significant part of the Mustang's development.
The A-36 had dive brakes for dive bombing. It played a role in Burma and North Africa. It flew bombing missions against Pantelleria in the Mediterranean against Italian forces. It was a sort of standard dive bomber in North Africa and Burma for the USAAF, until replaced by other types.

The A-36 Apache was used for low-altitude work because its engine was unsuited for high-altitude flight because of the Allison engine.
The A-36 was effective as a dive bomber, but the problem was the liquid-cooled engine's vulnerability to ground fire. The A-36 was used in strafing roles as well. It was effective. It was armed with 4 20mm cannons.
