Maybe because it's no US or German Uber plane?  :noid
Just a Russian Uber plane.....   

But the La-7 and Yak-3 ought to have informed people that the Russians did have some good aircraft too.

This one, by the way, is powered by the same engines as the La-5FN and La-7.

With I think only a 100 rounds for each cannon.

At the moment it seems to have 200rpg, according to the cockpit screenshot.

Wonder what handling and deck speed will be like.


I also hope HTC has finally rectified their habit of making bombers dis-proportionally tough for their size.


EDIT: After comparing the weights and wing area, looks like this thing will handle somewhere about midway between the 110 and the 410.

Very nice, finally a Soviet bomber!

Hopefully Pe-2 will follow someday.

It can potentially carry as much as a B-24.

Every good source that I've read on the TU-2 shows that 8300lbs simply won't fit to the aircraft. My guess is that the 8300lbs is a mistake by one author which then got copied over and over again to many "mainstream" "aircraft of WWII-books".

Here's a Soviet source which lists 1000kg as the "normal" and 3000kg as the maximum payload:

(It also mentions that the forward firing cannons have 150rpg.)

3000kg is still a pretty good load for a medium bomber.

Most definitely!

But it would be a bit impractical carrying 2x1000kg in the two wing hard points as it would be an over kill on many cases.

So this is the famous Russian P-38, oops, La-38. What happened to the end halves of the two La-7 they strapped under the wings?

3000kg works for me in a nimble bomber.

That sure looks like 9 250kg? bombs it's carrying.  I also do not see any mounts for external ords.
