Curious, how did the bombbay doors work on IL-2s?

More specifically, why don't I have to open the doors manually? Why do they seem to open automatically when I press the drop bomb button?

 

Is this accurate to the RL IL-2?

The OP ask about IL-2 (the plane).

 

In il-10 http://mig3.sovietwarplanes.com/il10/details/armament/armament.htm

 

In Pe-2 looks the doors open instantly under air or oil pressure, see in this video:

To close is need actuate over the pressure crank, so the movement is not progressive. The game mimic this well.
