An excellent addition! Funny looking thing, the IL-20.

It seems the reticle mask is missing:

An esoteric prototype plane of the immediate post war - a period that saw the emergence of a lot of really weird designs.
A great work. Thanks!

Huh??? Thats confusing, or did this aircraft never fly? I know the Ilyushin Il-20 as being a 4 engine surveillance aircraft, (similar the Lockheed P-3) which recently got intercepted by the German Airforce on more than one occasion.

IL-20 is not the same as IL-20M (4-engine Recce version of IL-18).  Wikipedia actually deconflicts it in its entry here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ilyushin_Il-20_(1948)

I knew about it because of the book below that I bought years ago:

Incredible! It looks like a Soviet approach to the Douglas Skyraider/Blackburn Firebrand concept.

Landing it was a bit weird because I am used to the IL-2, but not that hard.  So... like landing a tall truck.

F-100 Super Saber was not too bad, over 20 years of service...
F-104 Despite controversy stayed in service until the 2000s (Italy)
F-105 ... Thud... just saying...  Thud...
F-102 & 106... OK, not greatest but still badass
F-111... 40 year career even at low production...

I guess it depends how you see it... but I figure we should stay on topic...

IL-20!  F-Yeah!

Wishing you all the very best, Pete. ;D

IL-20 (IL-18 versions) comes in different models, not just IL-20M, so my geus because they never got past a prototype stage they reused the IL-20 designation.
Its really really similar to the Lockheed P-3 (Lockheed L-188) in its functions also.

This "Old" IL-20 looks really weird though and would be a ice add on for Post War missions, maybe it can be included in a UP patch later on?

It just did not perform well:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tiiBf4PTdq0

The IL-20 designation is the military version of the IL-18, Coot-A was associated with what pretty much is the IL-20M ( a signals intelligence plane).  In the media, they use IL-20...  but a letter makes a different... a Tu-22 Blinder is a much different plane than the Tu-22M Backfire.

Many thanks to the creators of this mod.

About this aircraft in real life. Probably, the most detailed description was provided by author Oleg Rastrenin (whom I can't recommend highly enough for everything related to Ilyishin's aeroplanes) in his books, articles and video lectures. I have not seen Rastrenin's books translated into English yet and it is a pity.

In a nutshell... no, Il-20 was not a good performer. It was not the aircraft needed for the VVS and not what the VVS requested. Probably, the weirdest creature in the "Il" family.

Sometimes that is what plane designers do.  They latch onto a niche/rabbit-hole idea and ignore overall aspects, other times, much of it is politics (think of He-100/112 vs. Bf-109, or the F-20 vs. F-16).  This time, like you said, it was just not what was needed.  Improvements on the IL-10 series would have been a better bet, but by that time, technology was fastly advancing.
