It’s not wrong this is how HE 20mm shells worked in irl
Technically not exactly, as in game Sd is implemented wrong, reducing the actual range below the historical range. @KillaKiwi can tell you more about it, he made a report iirc.

Will this be the level 51 or 75 reward?
I assume it will be the highest level one.
…but reading that again, it is slightly ambiguous. Main “aircraft” reward. Hrm…

I got you, i was talking about the mechanism, tbh i didn’t thought it was timed fused since it’s almost impossible to do that bc the shell only SD when it loses a huge amount of it’s speed and vilocity after cutting a certain distance (losing speed of the centrifugal effect).

mz brother in christ. its has missle that are not found on anz other vehicle. also the he177 isnt useless.
I mean the B-29 is ~100km/h faster and can carry ~50% more bombs, and the He-177 notoriously overheats in literal seconds.

literally why though.
why make a bomber you pay for, even less unique
Hopefully we see some more TT bombers. There’s still only a single B-24, single He-177, single Halifax, not to mention the many WWII-style bombers still not in game.

Yes, the He-177 was known for overheating and engine bursts, but here in the game it’s because it fits…
For one thing, the He-177 A5 variant is in the game, and it already had its engines overhauled a long time ago, and this was not the primary problem…
Already from the A3/R2 version (A3 - the second production series), the engines, nacelles, oil and fuel pipe distributions and cable harnesses, oil coolers, etc… were solved … the problem was rather the gearboxes/reducers, which sometimes had a problem withstanding the power of those twin engines and propellers …
And don’t compare He-177 against B-29 … a machine with similar parameters as Greif, is Flying Fortress or Halifax, Pe-8 …
B-29 can stand comparison only Ju 290/390, Lincoln …
Personally, I think that if one of the nations in the game received aircraft that were interned on its territory, repaired and delivered to the reconnaissance-bombing units of long-range bombers that were established, but were not so much in sight, then those bombers in the game would they looked different…
After all, the first 3 units of the Tu-4 version had 11x 12.7 mm UBT machine guns,
several others then had B-20E cannons (aka La-7) and then the main versions had NR-23 mm… So the Tu-4 could be in several versions…

It’s not even unique and no one should put time or money to grind for it or even try to get, it’s literally a downgrade version of the A-5/R2 that we have ingame it offer nothings new, it’s just gaijin using the Hs-293 as pretext to say that this bomb is unique but in reality the A-5 can do every the A-3 and do it better

I doubt it, that way this plane will stay unique and bring value to the market place.
