Updated Aircraft the B-26

[lunatic1]

I wonder if anything will change far as bombload or loadouts?

it's a medium bomber--i doubt the bomb load will much different

B-26 as the war moved on were mounted with the same N-3 and A1 sight head as our B25H. Ring and post sights didn't allow on the fly range estimation and caused the pilot to have to rapidly change focus between the ring and his target. Also the bouncing around of the aircraft kept the pilot from maintaining a perfect alignment of his head to the post and ring.

I wonder how the usage numbers between the B-26B and Tu-2S will end up?  They are pretty much direct competitors.

While it depends a lot on the final loadout of the Tu-2 I'm still somewhat partial to the B-26, at least in the formation bomber role. Much larger and thus probably more durable, and much better defensive armament. The Tu-2 may be significantly faster, but at low-med altitudes it's still slower than about any fighter.

But we soon will see...

Very nice!

Wow, what a beauty.

The plane she's painted on ain't too bad, either.

Would be cool to see this skin for the B-26

I wanna' see "Hell Cat" as a scheme.  It is a famous one and many of us built the Snap-Tite kit as kids.

Beautiful work.

Most of you didn't know Superman flew as a B-26 co-pilot in WWII.

Would explain why the bombardier is smoking a J then.

Calms the nerves for a steady drop.

Not many Ruskies fly AH, so it's going to be an easy win for the B26

Maybe not, we'll have to wait and see.

But its a great time to be flying the mediums.

these are all cool but i think we have enough variance for fighter and bomber planes , i really like to see something new added to game like submarines or more cargo planes or artillery or fire control position for carrier and cruiser etc...

Doesn't seem to stop the La-7 from seeing heavy use.  Many, probably most, are not dedicated to flying aircraft from only their nation, or their chosen nation.

While I like the B-26, I will probably use the Tu-2 more because of its faster climb and speed.

I have to disagree.  Submarines will not get much use, whereas new aircraft and GVs, even "hangar queens", do get a used, in some cases such as the B-26 and, I expect, the Tu-2S a lot of use.
