Devs on their way to catch more strays for the job they are tasked with doing by other higher ups…
Must be nice to be blamed for someone else’s decisions…
the Museum that actually has working B-29 turrets. Gaijin in the past have passed bug reports based off of pictures and videos.
Yes typed that in the bug report
The targeting computer in the gun itself does that , it leads the target the crew just has to input the range of the aircraft
Actually it does, because this would be a major help in simulator. Just like its in there for the A7s You would know where the base is to bomb, because currently bombing in simulator is almost impossible if you don’t know the map.
The radar could also track targets
The 6th Bomb Group: Radarman unless you find something that says the radar could not track, which is the entire point of radar anyways, you cant say it couldnt track.

i mean… its not like its missing anything… like Spikes… /s
So let me ask you this for clarity. Is the intention of the bug report try to address the bombing radar and gun targeting system together, or as two separate features. It being together makes it seem like you are associate them together even though they are separate things. That is why I pointed out that the gunsight and radar are not linked, and that the radar was not a search/track style radar.
There are a few aircraft that did carry a ground/naval radar in game where the radar is not modeled. The Avro Shackleton is supposed to have a naval radar, but it isn’t in game because there isn’t a real use for it. The B-29s ground radar is also in that category of not being really useful. You always have access to a map, even in sim, and the bases have a pretty noticeable layout when viewed from above. It wouldn’t show anything other than terrain on the scope, as pictured. That wouldn’t be helpful for finding bases. The A7 simply has a map in the cockpit. It is on what appears to be a radar scope, but it does not have an operational ground radar modeled in game. You can see the same info on the map at any time. Only ground based radar is on the SU-39.
The firing computer thing could actually be implemented, but you need to make a suggestion post and not a bug report. If you go to Suggestions - Aircraft and made a post presenting the targeting computer for the B-29, they may actually add it. Suggestions is the key thing here, because they won’t see it as a bug that it isn’t present, they just haven’t added it due to whatever. Please make a suggestion post for the targeting computer portion on here, because that would be pretty amazing for the B-29.
TU-4 would also get it, since it was an exactly copy.

I’m so confused by the people in this thread saying CCIP hasn’t been implemented.
External data shows an upwards of 500 employees?
Ah, 42 people in Hungary. I shall make corrections. Thank you.
Edit: Corrections made, thanks again for pointing out my error.

the tu4 had cobalt radar, not too sure what that did tbh , and i don’t think they knew anything about the gun tracking since they used different guns.
lol
Ramp Tramp is one of 4 B-29s that were captured by the Soviets. So they were completely aware of the systems. Probably didn’t understand nor had the tech to replicate it.
Indeed not. The USSR leadership actually refused to believe the USA had radar gunsights on our Korean Sabres simply because they themselves couldn’t get a ranging radar onto their MiGs until one of their engineers built and tested a radar warning device for it for them.

just because you have something, doesn’t mean you know how to use it :D

You would be surprised how much time bugs report take to acknowledged and even longer being changed in game!
Lancaster’s should also have radar targeting for the gunners but they don’t. This was mentioned ever since closed beta and never been included. Point being, don’t hold your breath.
Ok, so how is this different to every other firing solution computer we should have in game?
Like we have bofors mounts with the functionality described. Its not really CCIP as seen in game like with radar lead indicators. Its a firing solution computer.
So its not as much missing as we dont have firing solution computers modeled in game.

That’s not the “CCIP” people want on B-29. They’re using a word with a different meaning.
Name a single bomber with this feature, you won’t cause it’s not in-game.

You’re not wrong and . . . .
He isn’t protecting them? It’s another sartt post, short and simple.
It’s even more hilarious that he comes here to share his non-achievement of making a mundane bug report that references youtube videos.
