Convergence settings for Il-2 guns

Is there any documentation available that shows what sort of convergence settings were used for the wing-mounted guns on the Il-2? I have plenty of data for German planes but nothing for Soviet aircraft.

So, when I did this and put out similar info from my books, the fun police were straight on my back about copyright etc... different rules over there?

The only thing i read about this was from a German source (evaluation of captured planes) and they mentioned a convergence of 1000 meters for the cannons on ground attack planes like the Il-2.

 

And iirc, it was 300 meters for modern fighters (starting with Mig-3) and 200 meters for older fighters (up I-16).

Excellent, thanks!
