Tupolev Tu-4
« on: July 01, 2008, 04:09:44 PM »
I think the Tupolev Tu-4 would be great addition to our current line of aircraft.

Much like the B-29, but far more superior. The B-29 design was in fact, copied from the Russian Strategic Bomber Program.

Superior? No.

Much like the B-29? No. 100% identical soviet-made copy, down to the stamps on the rubber tires.


It's a cold war copy bomber. Well after WW2 ended. Sorry.

...More Info:  The Soviets used a different engine, the Shvetsov ASh-73, which had some parts in common with the Superfortress' Wright R-3350 but was not identical. The remote-controlled gun turrets were also redesigned to accommodate Soviet 23mm cannons.

Why do people always request the TU-4.  Why don't people ask for the B-29 for a change. :mad: :mad: :mad:

I'm not interested in the troll. I'm interested in damage control from all the newbies out there thinking this is serious.

Most new folks don't understand what's going on and take these seriously.

Must have been equiped at least squadron stength.

Must have seen combat in WWII.


The aircraft in question misses both of those targets like a Spitfire Mk I firing at a Bf109E at 2k out.
