You’re more than welcome to but I didn’t and don’t understand the hostility you’re giving a plane you haven’t played.
I and others have stated multiple things that make it special and unique IMO and others.
But out of sake of the conversation at hand what did you have in mind with a “special playstyle” knowing it was going to be a bomber ?
Honestly seems like it’ll play like the T18B imo. A bomber hunter disguised as a Bomber but with far better turrets. Definitely a unique playstyle given to only a handful of vehicles but even more so at Rank 1
People that only buy premiums to grind will complain. I have no problem purchasing a premium at Rank I if it is going to be a good time. However, this looks like the perfect Battlepass sorta vehicle. Ah well, least it will be cheap.
A couple of 7.7mms at a time doesn’t make for much of a hunter unless you are the likes of Smigol.
Depends on aim imo. If you have good aim they can definitely put in some work. Besides low BR bombers aren’t very well armed at all angles.
At a glance: Paid. I was sincerly expecting it to be a event vehicle, which is great at the same time, according to rumours, a Soviet aircraft may come to the Winter event, now two is way too much. Regardless, great addition, early war vehicles is always welcome and more should be added, specially concepts like the Kalinin K-7 or even Pr. 903 if anti-ship missiles come to the game at some point.
The fact mobile got Ekranoplanes before us is a shame
The fact that other Gaijin-related vehicle combat games get new and more unique content before the ‘main game’ if I can call War Thunder PC and Console that, is a shame, God forbid War Thunder, as Gaijin’s flagship be the priority in terms of content. Modern Warfare Tank Battles and War Thunder Mobile leading in groundbreaking content while we have to expect developer’s will to add to the game, not even through short events purely to tests or consideration if it’s suitable to the game or not.
This is awesome, now release the Kalinin K-7

Keep cooking with these unique and interesting designs. We love to see them
Wait, what?!?
WTM also has subs and they had the Bismarck earlier too. In terms of naval, WTM beats WT.
Ill take this a premium that will stay forever over a limited event vehicle any day of the week
If they ever added this they’d need to fix incendiary/explosive rounds first
By all means - but photos of it like this - with 10 and more engines, are entirely fake.
the real K-7 had 6 tractor props in the wing leading edge, , and 1 pusher props on the training edge:

what in the name of all thats holy is that?
“jesse opening photoshop and rearanging the TT is too hard, we need to plop it in the side of the TT”
That thing looks so cursed.

looks like one of the planes that an Anime illustrator would draw up for a foreign power because it looks different.
