The TU-4 was such a good copy that they even copied a hole in the wing which was the result of a manufacturing error on the captured B-29s. It was never fixed on any TU-4.

[@adamdubin1276]

Early models of the B-29 did carry 20 mm cannons in the tail gunner position, however the guns used were unreliable and were replaced with cal .50s. the Russians however made no use of 20 mm produced by the capitalists at Hispano and instead used their own NS-23 cannon which was chambered in 23mm.

[@hipstercrab5886]

okay, this SOVIET AF kerbal series is quite funny, keep on doing that, mate

[@thewingedporpoise]

Fun fact about those shotguns, I believe they could also be used as axes, they were given to pilots because they were meant to land in Siberia, because they didn't have control of any consistently large and wet enough area for landing, and you don't want cosmonauts eaten by all those bears and wolves and tigers

[@danielkorladis7869]

Most landings were in the Kazakh SSR (same place as Baikonur Cosmodrome), but it wasn't uncommon to overshoot by a bit and end up in Siberia, hence the survival gun (and other tools).

[@thewingedporpoise]

@@danielkorladis7869 that makes more sense, a big open desert is better, and also very isolated

[@danielkorladis7869]

@@thewingedporpoise Yeah, exactly. NASA went for water landings because they had an abundance of open ocean that was also in warm areas. None of the seas near the Soviets are warm, and most of them are fairly close to other countries, which can be politically a bit awkward.

The Russian b-29 was called the tu-4 pretty much had more turrets and I’m pretty sure had a better payload

[@theohedd289]

The only other difference was a russian engine, which I believe had better performance, but everything else was exactly the same according to all available records

[@CallMeMark_]

From the outside, the Soviet copy, the Tupolev Tu-4 looked virtually identical to the B-29. The length of the fuselage and the wingspan were the same. The speed was the same. The Soviet version had a higher ceiling, but that came at a price: the aluminum used by the Soviets was thinner and cheaper. The payload was virtually identical as were the placement and number of defensive armaments, though the Soviets added air-to-air missiles to their later models. They used 23mm guns instead of .50s.

[@monkeyboy4744]

Pretty sure the tu-2 could hold more bombs than the b-29

To say it wasn't a "free state" is a bit of an oversimplification.

[@EtsuMatsuya]

Yeah, Fortnight is not a common expression in the US. Older viewers among you are more inclined to know what it is, but young people not so much. We tend to say Bi-weekly which annoys me. Since Bi-weekly can be twice a week or once every two weeks. We should use Semi-Monthly instead as it is IMO clearer. However, Bi-weekly for most people relates to pay and that is done twice a month(mostly for hourly employees) so most people just roll with it, either out of ignorance or laziness.
