Making the case for the Russians
« on: November 03, 2013, 06:14:45 PM »
Okay, so here goes Russian bomber thread #to many to count.
The Pe-2, for example, was used extensively. I don't see why we can't have it. If  it is an issue with specifications or with cockpit designs, Ik know that some of the guys here have some of that info.
So, respectfully requesting some Russian bombers :salute

Il-4:


Pe-2:


Tu-2:


Any and all of those would be most welcome.

The Tu-2 would probably see the most use out of the three. It was a fun plane in fighter ace. Good de-acker

Making the case for the Russians

I think one thing can be unanimously agreed on by eveyone here.


There is no need to Make a Case for the Russians!

There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

I've already put money on that a Soviet level bomber will be added soon.  If not the next update it will be after that.  If we look at the pattern of what has been added to the game the past 1-2 years I think it shows HTC is looking to fill the gaps, so to speak.  Aside from the B29 and Me410 "vote", most everything else has been a "fill out" a plane set or a "fill in" a gap in the plane set.

The P40's.  The Zeke's. The Yak's. The He111. Hurricanes. Ki-43 Oscar. G4M. etc etc.

Currently, the biggest gap in the plane set is a Soviet level bomber and I have a hunch that HTC is putting some resources towards getting one in game.  I think the IL-4 (SB2) or Tu-2 would be better (true level bombers), then the Pe-2.  The Pe-2 is more of a cross between a B25 and 110C-4, with no level bomb sight (or an unused bomb sight, sources point to both).

I chose the Tu-2, if only to piss off the A-26 guys. :devil
