NEW PLANE: Tupolev TU-2

[Volron]

I'm sorry 

I usually refrain from bombing tank battles like that, but I had to test the new toy somewhere. You died in the name of science

That's what I said I never took you as a bomb**** 

I guess it makes it ok knowing that I was a test dummy.  But that was only the second time I'd ever upped one  .  Oh well...my M3 of Doom will get those perks back

Well its turned out to be everything I expected it to be over the years of whining for it.

The speed of an attacker/destroyer. The bombload approaching that of the heavies. Better then average handling and versatility. And "Built in the MotherLand tough".

I couldnt be more thrilled with it. Nice job by Aces High.

How much damage does it soak up compared with the legendary  led-sponge A20 ?

Judge for yourself.

Took it up for the first time last night on a fighter sortie.....had a ton of fun...killed an  Jug and a 109 first run.... handled pretty well....started to get very unresponsive the faster I got..... so controlling speed in a dive was critical. Its an extremely stable gun platform....Cant wait to climb back into it.

Oh wait, were supposed to bomb with it? But it has 2 engines, i just assumed HTC just added another real fighter  

Thanks HTC

Downloaded the game and tested this plane offline. This thing can turn and climb like a better fighter.

It's an amazing heavy fighter. I managed to shoot down two n1k's in about ten seconds earlier.

 I flew it off line and found in is pretty fast and can turn well and I had some success with the hammerhead. Not much of a bomb carrier with half the bomb load as a P-51D. Still new planes are always cool.

Are you sure it was the Tu-2 you were trying?

Great addition , but seems to be very weak for a bomber, burns and disintegrates  like paper plane;  i vaporized a set easy from his 6 o'clock , only 1 pass in fwD9, ( 2x 20mm);  the 2nd set i attacked in K-4 got 2 bombers in 1 pass and he smoked my motor; ;  maybe I'm wrong but this is my first impression;

6,600+ pounds of bombs is less than half of that of a P-51D? I took four 500 kilo bombs last night, just improve the climb rate. That's still more than double what the Mustang can haul......

yep, 3000 kg x 2.2 (lb/kg)=6,600 lbs; more than B17s and faster

[Rich46yo]

And the 1,000 kgs really make a bang when they go off. Forgetaboutit if your in a GV, I'd bet one sally of 3 would take out both the bomber and the fighter hangar. And CVs have a serious problem now unless there is a CAP flying over it.

  TU2 enters compression around 505 TAS and breaks at 510 TAS,ailerons seem to depart first.  Rudder isn't very effective,it's ok but I thought it would have more authority.

  It also has a viscious stall,much like the 110C but it is easy to recover from.

 Wep seems to have a bug as it seems to run forever,could be I mistaken on my time but it ran for over 5mins when I shut it down.

Has the same engine as the La-7, which has 10 minutes of WEP
