#WAR THUNDER B 29 COCKPIT UPDATE#

This bomber was one of the first aircraft to be fitted with the General Electric Central Fire Control system which could be used to remotely control four of the remotely controlled turrets (two dorsal and two ventral). Defensive positions on the B-29 were well placed to ensure maximum coverage surrounding the bomber. The resulting XB-29 prototype and the later production series B-29 bomber had everything the USAAC was looking for, high-pressured cockpit, a maximum altitude of almost 9,750 m (32,000 ft), true airspeed around 600 km/h (372 mph) and could carry a massive payload of bombs upwards of 9,000 kg (20,000 lbs). To compensate for this Boeing began to develop a prototype which would incorporate a pressurized cabin to allow for higher altitude flying, which would help to protect the bomber from Japanese fighters which struggled to get to the higher altitudes. In the few years leading up to World War II, the United States Army Air Corps (USAAC) realized that its current primary heavy bomber, the B-17 would not have the range nor the payload which would be needed to efficiently transit what would end up becoming the Pacific Theater.

At the top of its game, the B-29A-BN is a powerful and heavily armed bomber, though it suffers from having to face early jets. bomber branch and is currently the last American propeller-powered bomber in the US Tech Tree. The B-29 follows the B-24 Liberator in the U.S.
