The Sturmovik is a nice ground attack aircraft, but lacking AA it needs support in that regard. Again, the best the Soviets can currently do is a bravery enforced Sniper. As with all planes, don’t simply throw the Sturmovik into the middle of the enemy and be surprised when it’s shot down.
Against enemy aircraft you’ll usually want to go second; not having AA and therefore not being able to defencive fire vs other aircraft is a severe hinderance. Against the Me262 it’s suicide. The Superior Armour gives some added defence against enemy aircraft, helping to make up for the lack of AA, but otherwise the SA2 isn’t all that important, as ground units would have likely had to fire multiple shots anyway.
Like all aircraft, the Sturmovik is best at is harassing units; however unlike many Allied aircraft the Sturmovik has decent enough AT values to threaten any vehicle short of a Tiger (and even then it can be worth a shot).
I’d normally not recommend using the Sturmovik in a 100 point game; it’s better used in multiples and in larger games. However it’s not unuseable - it will basically replace a tank, though you should add some extra AT units to make up for the loss of firepower.
