The Bomber I used the “Pe-8” heavy payload; however, it could barely take off already with the lightest payload already. In my opinion it shall have an engine power buff by 1.2x, giving some extra power to bring it to the sky. Even with Air Spawn, it has an issue… It can’t climb, with an extremely slow climb , while other bombers have already flown higher than you, making you an easy target, as everyone in RB always targets bombers. Even if you survive, by the time you reach the target, other bombers will have bombed it, or the match already ended.
Vehicles in the game have their values adjusted as close as possible to real life values, if you think there is something wrong with how a vehicle is in game compared to real life you can bug report it here (just search a bit first so that you don’t report something that is already reported and known about): (Gaijin.net // Issues)
A guide on how to report bugs can be found here: ([Navigation] Technical Knowledge Base | War Thunder Wiki)
Please note the sources needed for such a change:
Additional tips for taking of in heavy aircraft:
Hold breaks, full throttle, release breaks when engine is on full thrust, hold straight as much as possible and engage takeoff flaps as late as possible, lift landing gear as soon as possible after you leave the ground. Aim for speed before trying to gain altitude, often planes climb way faster when they are up to speed compared to trying to aim up early.
Edit:
I just tried it with the heaviest bomb load and had no issues taking off in quite a short distance with above method :)

They ask me to give them the document for PE-8; where do I find that? As they need more information.
I sadly have no idea, you’ll have to search for it yourself and compare the values in the documents and in game to see if there is anything that is wrong that can be reported.
Ok Thank you, Can I ask the people for Published military document?
What do you mean?
Basically, finding the information for more accuracy and realism for the Pe-8, as the manager gives me some reasons that i need the Document and share it and give the right details. So can i ask in here?
You can always ask on the forum for de-classified documents. But I do recommend searching first as some of them are easily found if they are free for public release. Additionally, any documents you find you have to make sure that they are okay to share and not restricted or classified in any way.

Values are probably correct, I dont think you will find anything to the contrary.
I wish they would buff engine survivability, taking even small arms/sub canon rounds will immedietely fry your engine or cause a fire and its game over.

Notice how this b17 even being hit by one of the strongest plane canons we have in game doesnt break into peices after 2 shots? Or how that engine takes multiple 30mm shots and doesnt seem to care where in game a single 30mm would cause instant catastrophic damage, and start a deadly fire?
