In particular, I have a question regarding 8 MTAD of the Baltic Fleet. During the Battle of Tali-Ihantala, did the IL-4's and A-20 (Boston) actually perform torpedo runs? Or were they simply performing bombing missions?
Any help is greatly appreciated. Sources are welcome.

Re: Torpedo Air units of the Baltic Fleet
A-20 from 51 MTAP make 16 sorties in 3 waves to skip-bombing runs against dam 20.06.1944. 10 Il-4 from 1 GMTAP dropped floating mines agaist same dam. Next day was 3 sorties of Il-4 with mines and 8 A-20 with bombs, all from 1 GMTAP. No torpedoes was used.
