I like the sound of the two twenty mms, not too much but should do good in strafing.

If u click the link for the post by Bruv; he said it had twin 23mm cannons. Different version probably

HTC probably considered adding TU-2 roughly 10 years ago: http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,26160.0.html

It looks like it didn't make it into the game due to the lack of reference material.

Here's some reference material:

[Bruv119]

wow wmaker!   that makes up for reference material . 

Yes I read somewhere they were 23mm Shvak cannon, but 20mm is just as good.   

[SmokinLoon]

I didnt think the 23mm were anything but AP, so if that is the case them the 20mm would serve the Tu-2 better, imo.   

I ***really*** hope HTC pays attention to this thread and keeps it for reference.  There is a lot of very useful information in here, at least in terms of rendering an aircraft model.   

[Bruv119]

well going by the older thread Pyro sounds all keen to get her done and then 12 years later still no Tu-2!   

I wonder what happened

Nice job Wmaker.

[Arlo]

Nice reference mat'l. Translations?

[Rich52]

It would be a wonderful addition. 

[matt]

+1 excellent research, if added would we have drones?

[Karnak]

The Tu-2 would be one of the best additions left for the MA.  Useful in some scenarios too.

matt,

Yes, it would have formations as an option.

[Butcher]

Nice reference mat'l. Translations?

I have the same problem with 80% of my material, most of my books were written in the 50s and 60s. Things like the Tu-2 would either be written in Russian or Polish.

For example I am trying to research the He-111 right now, however every single book is written in German.
