It played a key role on the Eastern Front, supporting Soviet infantry in campaigns such as the Battle of Kursk and Operation Bagration. Its characteristic exhaust manifolds were not only a key technical component, but also a visual detail that distinguished the aircraft on dioramas or in collections.
