I would like to suggest that the NB-36 “Peacemaker” be added to War Thunder as a unique addition to the American bomber line, filling the large gap in the U.S. tech tree between late piston/early jet bombers and the Cold War heavy jets. The NB-36 was a modified version of the Convair B-36 Peacemaker, which served as the largest mass-produced piston-engine bomber in history. It was notable not only for its sheer size and range, but also for its role as the nuclear testbed aircraft, where its reinforced cockpit and shielding were designed to simulate operating conditions for future nuclear-powered bombers.
Adding the NB-36 to War Thunder would not only highlight an important transitional step in aviation history but would also give players a distinctive and massive strategic bomber unlike anything else currently in the game. Its size, armament, and historical importance could make it both an enjoyable and popular vehicle within the American tech tree if introduced as a researchable tech tree aircraft rather than an event or premium vehicle.
General Characteristics (NB-36 Peacemaker):
• Crew: 15
• Length: 162 ft 1 in (49.42 m)
• Wingspan: 230 ft (70.1 m)
• Height: 46 ft 8 in (14.2 m)

• Empty Weight: ~166,165 lb (75,387 kg)
• Maximum Takeoff Weight: ~410,000 lb (186,000 kg)
• Powerplant:
• 6 × Pratt & Whitney R-4360 radial piston engines, 3,800 hp each
• 4 × General Electric J47-GE-19 turbojet engines, 5,200 lbf thrust each
Performance:
• Maximum Speed: ~435 mph (700 km/h) at 36,400 ft
• Range: ~10,000 mi (16,000 km) ferry range
• Service Ceiling: 39,000 ft (12,000 m)
• Rate of Climb: ~2,500 ft/min

• Up to 16 × 20 mm M24A1 autocannons in remote-controlled turrets (nose, tail, and wing pods)
• Bomb load: up to 86,000 lb (39,000 kg) of conventional or nuclear weapons
this comes with the exception of this is in a video game and I understand completely. If we would like to lower the amount of low does this aircraft carry to about 50 or 60,000 pounds and lower the amount of thrust the aircraft may have
