How did the front gunner see any bandits coming head on with that huge turret in his way?

I never saw any WW2 B29s with 4 guns per turret.

I get a feeling this is a Russian interpretation of an American B-29. The turrets were remote from what I've read. The planes were pressurized too, weren't they? The crew looks like Russian cosmonauts with oxygen masks on.

They are Russian crews.

Russian crews ... US markings. I see you got my point.

Those are beta screenshots Arlo.

When selecting a nationality in AEP, the crews wear that nationality's flight suit and change to that nationality's plane markings.

There's a few pics of them here.

The front top turrets sometimes were 4 gun models.

Pacific Fighters might be worth it for the carrier ops alone. They've implimented rolling carrier decks depending on sea conditions.

That would be cool to have here... even though in those pics the boat is flopping from side to side on glass-like water. Prolly a beta thing.
