a Soviet dive bomber aircraft used during World War II. It was regarded as one of the best ground attack aircraft of the war. and it was extremely successful in the roles of heavy fighter, reconnaissance and night fighter. It was one of the most important aircraft of World War II, being in many respects similar to the British de Havilland Mosquito, though the Pe-2 was manufactured in greater numbers: 11,400. It was fast, maneuverable and durable. i dont know where you'd put this, f first flew in 1939 but served untill 1954. The Pe-2 quickly proved itself to be a highly capable aircraft, able to elude the Luftwaffe's interceptors and allowing their crews to develop great accuracy with their bombing.
The records of the 16th and 39th BAPs of the Western Front Air Force note that the Pe-2s crews had the greatest success in repelling the attacks of enemy fighters in June and July 1941. On 1st July, for example, six Pe-2s fended off attacks by four Messerschmitt Bf 109s, shooting down two of them. A week later a group of Pe-2s was attacked by four Bf 109 and again brought down two of the attackers. On both occasions the Petlyakovs suffered no losses. On southern front, a bombing mission against Ploesti, in Romania, of six Pe-2s, led by Capt. A. Tsurtsulin, was a great success: 552,150 lb of petroleum were burnt in the raid. The Romanian information agency claimed tha at least 100 Soviet planes had bombed Ploesti. A German pilot shot down by a Petlyakov over Bobruysk, Maj. A. Mudin of JG 51, affirmed that the Pe-2 was the best Soviet aircraft: "It is a fast aircraft, with good armament, and it is dangerous to enemy fighters."
Top Speed: 360 mph
Max Payload: 18,728
Service Ceiling: 28,870 ft
Crew: Three - pilot, gunner, bombardier
Length: 12.66 m (41 ft 6 in)
Wingspan: 17.16 m (56 ft 3 in)
Height: 3.5 m (11 ft 6 in)
Powerplant: 2× Klimov M-105PF liquid-cooled V-12, 903 kW (1,210 hp) each
2 × 7.62 mm (0.3 in) fixed ShKAS machine guns in the nose, one replaced by a 12.7 mm (0.5 in) Berezin UB on later versions.
2 × rearward firing 7.62 mm (0.3 in) ShKAS.
From the middle of 1942 defensive armament included 1 Berezin UB machine gun in the upper bombardier's turret, 1 Berezin UB in gunner's ventral hatch and 1 ShKAS which could be fired by a gunner from port, starboard or upper mountings
Some planes were also equipped with DAG-10 launcher, firing AG-2 parachute timed grenades.

i know id also like fragmentation rounds for the t-34 (they really carried them) but that wont happen.
anyway i agree

The Pe-2 would be a fine choice, but the Tu-2 would be even better. The Tu-2 has level bombing capability while the Pe-2 would be like flying the early war version of the German 110 (C-4) with another 1k lbs worth of ordnance.
-
Yes plz one of the most needed aircrafts.
+1 for the russian 110

that is a good point

There's the additional PE3 nightfighter variant that flew during daylight.

PBY-5A... :noid

makes perfect sense. a nightfighter flying at noon.

Yep bung it in.
Some nice nose art on some of them.

no way ;)

then create a seperate topic for the tu-2. it does a slightly diffrent job. the pe-2 is more of a dive bomber. :aok
-
There are many simmilarities between them. Imow, do you know anything about it, isnt the tu-2 based on the pe-2? If so, would be awsome to get both.
-
Early version Pe-2 would not get much use other than scenarios. I'd +1 one of the later variants, or the Tu-2.
-

Pe-2 was more of an attack plane/heavy fighter type deal, and the Tu-2 was more of a medium bomber but they are two diferent airframes, 1 used the M-82 engine (same as La's) and another used the klimov engine (in yak's)

+1

that would be cool to have +1
-
Any and all of the Il-4, Pe-2 and Tu-2 would be welcome in AH in my opinion.
-
I will give a big okay to adding some soviet bombers.

Tu-2
+1.5

i asked for this plane last year, im glad you all now agree with me,keep up the good work guys and let these 3 go,they are not the ones your looking for. ok get the fastest hunk of junk in galaxy ready chewie. +1 :banana:
-
+1 Pe-2
flak :joystick: :airplane:
-
Yes! +1 We need a Russian bomber after the Il-2 is now an attacker. :aok

If we ever get this aircraft I would like the air to air RS-82 rear rocket option. :rock These are the same ones the Russians added to their A-20's. :x

NOW THAT IS INTERESTING, GOT ANY PICS OF THAT A20?
-
The wing profile in Pe-2 was relatively thin to make it fast and thus made it rather tricky to fly at the edge or at slow speed.
Petlyakov Pe-2I, root NACA 23012 tip: NACA 23012
However, the profile is of same thickness as that in Mossie (RAF-34 12%) so if it was modeled the same way it would probably be quite good. ;)

This strikes me as a manueverable, faster TBM-3 Avenger. Has less firepower in the nose, more in the tail, certainly more speed and 'turn and burn' quality. Roughly same payload sans rockets. Am I mistaken about this?
I would like to see it added though. It would be great to run some scenarios were the Russian/comrade/Communist side had a full compliment of scrap metal in the making. I hate the Russian birds, tough and deadly.

No way the Pe-2 is gonna out turn a TBM, mthrockmor. It would be a nice versatile addition to the plane set. +1 :aok

+1 for the Russian Birds...Italian and Japanese too :aok

Based off this the first fixed type of rocket launching did not work. The next type was adjustable with aiming the gun that seemed to work.

Not sure if this was the aircraft that did not get done in the past by HTC as there was not enough interior pictures.
If so this link should help.
