While playing the Hunter F.1 or the Vautour IIA, it is easy to send this monster of an aircraft back to base with just one burst.
Even with its powerful defensive armament, it does have weak spots. 6.5 mm Steel plate in front of tail gunner.ĭo not be fooled of its nickname of "The Russian Death Star".60 mm Bulletproof glass in front of tail gunner.6.5 mm Steel plate behind the rear ventral turret.6.5 mm Steel plates boxing around rear dorsal gunner and beam gunners.6.5 mm Steel plates in front of tail control tractions.6.5 mm Steel plates in front of the pilots.60 mm Bulletproof glass in front of the pilots.With its battle rating of 8.0 in RB, it faces top rank jet fighters most of the time. However, don't be fooled, it is a huge target and thus nearly impossible to miss. These guns can annihilate enemy fliers in seconds while covering a wide area, making a Tu-4 tough to approach, let alone attack. Its defensive armament consists of 5 x turrets with each having 2 x 23 mm cannons (a total of 10 x 23 mm cannons). It is able to fully destroy all three bases in one run, while also dealing significant damage to the enemy's airfield. The Tu-4 is a heavy bomber, able to load up to 12,000 kg of bombs. So stringent was the bureaucratic process for manufacturing parts and equipment, special permission from a high-level general was required to allow Soviet-made parachutes to be utilized in the Tu-4. In the end, between the two aircraft, the Soviet Tu-4 only weighed 340 kg more than the B-29, a difference of less than 1%.
Equipment had to be retooled and new supplies had to be developed to match the metric version of the imperial standard sizes. Challenges were met as available materials were developed using the metric system and the B-29 had been developed using the standard imperial system. Soviet engineers reverse-engineered an interred B-29 to develop an "exact" copy per Stalin's request. Though it's an almost identical structure copy of the American B-29 bomber, the Tu-4 features an improved 23 mm defensive armament and a very large payload.
