Title: Making the case for the Russians
Post by: Wildcatdad 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

Three Russian bombers are in the running here.

Il-4:

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!

It really is time to add Russian & Italian bombers.

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).

Big thumbs up to the Pe-2 or the Tu-2 in AH.  :aok

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

Tu-2.  It is faster and likely more agile.  It is true that the B-26's defenses are superior though.

Okay, okay.  I'll be honest.


BOTH!  Because I love choices! :x

It's actually the other way around. A-26 is significantly faster than Tu-2.

Apologies if my mixing up my. B's and A's has generated confusion.

I did as he said B-26 and I ignored the invader bit.

I don't think the A-26 and Tu-2 share the same mission as one is an attack aircraft and the other is a level bomber.  The A-26 is also likely to be perked while the Tu-2 probably won't be.

Tu2 is a dive bomber and level bomber.

Yup, as I said, different roles.

A-26C is a level bomber which was what I was thinking, both noses could be included in the load outs like with the B-25C.

Did the A-26C see action in WWII?

Ah.  I think that many of us have a fighter bias and so tend to focus on the hard nosed versions of the A-26.

A russian twin is a huge gap in the planeset.

But I'd like to see the Pe-2 first.
