The F7F also used the - 34W but the unboosted variant wouldn’t be applicable to most WT planes. Using the - 34W as a placeholder is fine during development but should not have passed on to the release.

your not wrong about that but this is gaijin they do this all the time (bomber cockpits are a prime example)
@LeonDasPro Please let us know if you guys make a report/or of one already is listed! I will definitely add my ‘vote’ to the report. I would love to use this plane, I keep all my BP vehicles so I can use the upgrade coupons to get the next BP. I hope it does get upgraded engines, would absolutely help it, even if it’s not a huge upgrade.

waiting for it to come on the market, how much do you think it will cost?
5 probably
I got this a couple days ago, only reason to fly it is the 8 sea mine payload (shhh)
Honestly dont bother. It should be ideal for navy with ita large bomb/mine loadout and defensive turrets. But instead its a lumbering giant thats easy meat for anything with half decent AA.
Expect it to be cheap!
I tried to bring attention to the bug report site that the “customisable” payload that is interchangeable as mentioned on the devblog. For some reason doesn’t allow torpedos + mines or 2xap-bombs + mines. When they would not interfere with eachother at all, just as how the other loadouts don’t as they fit within the weight limitations.
My report was immediately shot down as not having evidence. But any logic shows if the 8x mines internally weight nearly 4tns and the doors close fully like with the internal bombs or ap bombs, and the 2x torpedo or 2x ap bomb externally are on the racks and do not interfere with the bomb-bay doors at all like with other payloads. And having them added together does not go over the 5,800kg max payload limit, then you should be able to create that custom loadout, it seems to just be a bug with it being restricted accidently as an overweight payload when it isn’t.
If anybody can find blueprints that say otherwise please do send them me, but otherwise there shouldn’t be any confliction. (I have looked at too many manuals and pilots handbooks for the PBM series and I cannot find anything).

Yes, it seems to be a bug. But it might not be. Or it might be.
Just ask the guys next time for the evidence they had when they added German bombs to the premium IL-2 in the German TT. There is zero evidence that this was even considered by the Germans as the Il-2s were seen as a piece of junk…
