4:10 Seems that GTMF only resupplies units involved in a previous battle. 41MIR units on the left flank point are not receiving any ammo and are relying on captured small arms to rearm.
88 scoring a hit on a fast-moving single-engine plane would be considered a trick-shot, that could only result in your gun becoming a strafe target when you miss. Timed fragmentation shell ain't gonna work on a nimble and low flying aircraft. 8.8cm FlaK guns were effective against large multi-engined level bombers. He'd need 2cm or 3.7cm light FlaK guns to fend off ground attack aircraft.
Dreaded IL-2, always makes me frustrated to see it, hehe. I could literally unload a entire FWs worth of cannon rounds into one in the flight sim i used to play and it would just keep going. Crazy plane.
I was actually surprised to see this battle happen at all, its a situation where i know the AI to just disengage before it starts. However i guess it must have known that it could get in some cheeky bombing runs and then retreat. I think thats pretty cool, a sign that it somehow comprehends attrition and the big picture.

Pretty surprising that your MGs were able to badly damage that one IL-2 considering how tough those things were
It's a september 1941, early war Il-2 modifications were relatively imperfect.
In the end screen there are two more completely fresh units at the bottom!! Next battle will be glorious!
Well, looks like those 88's will actually see use for what they are meant to fo for once lol
