Hello everybody. I’d like to suggest the Consolidated PB4Y-1 Liberator for the US aviation tree in War Thunder. The PB4Y-1 was a navalized version of the B-24 Liberator and served as the direct predecessor to the PB4Y-2 Privateer in the maritime patrol role. It was essentially a standard B-24 adapted for US Navy use, retaining the original configuration and turbosupercharged engines (important for high-altitude bombing in-game). Depending on the production batch, some PB4Y-1s were fitted with the ERCO nose turret, identical to that seen on the Privateer. During World War II, the PB4Y-1 equipped numerous Navy units and conducted anti-submarine and anti-shipping patrols in both the Pacific and Atlantic theaters.
