[@pauld6967]

Watching War Thunder videos has taught me that battle ratings are governed by usage & win/loss statistics. Thus, they will always shift and be somewhat non-sensical. I am an Old School tabletop gamer and believe that battle rating should be based on what a vehicle is equipped with (or lacks) and the mechanical/physical statistics, i.e. pounds of thrust of a jet engine, time-to-climb rate, inches of armor, turret traverse rate, amount of ammunition carried, etc. Not how often the players are using it or how often it wins or losses in battles.

[@pauld6967]

The question about the VFW and its side panels inspires this question: will Gaijin work on animating the sides and adding raise/lower to the controls so we can assign a button and have it transition DURING a battle? That way, we can raise the sides when moving from one location to another, only lowering them again when desired, not automatic raise & lower tied to vehicle motion like the Bradley's TOW launcher.

Day 6 Greeting fellow war thunderian I am here to introduce a proposition in the wonderful game we play. The era is the mid-late cold war. The new addition of aircraft leads to the conclusion of the 1970’s so it makes it appropriate to update and add this new aircraft to the tech tree. I am speaking of the bombers, the American plane designed for world war 2 but due to the wartime effort, it was introduced to the early cold war. The name of this aircraft is commonly known as the B-36 Peacemaker, Magnesium overcast, and the plane that never dropped a bomb in anger along with a funny joke told by the men who’ve flown and worked with her during its service, six turning, four burning" into two turning, two burning, two smoking, two choking and two more unaccounted for. The reason for this slogan was due to the massive unit of a plane this was, it was powered by 6 engines designated the P&W R-4360 Wasp Major and 4 J47-GE-19 Jet engines modified to run on a select fuel that the plane was carrying with later modifications and iterations of the engines the last variant produced were able to achieve 395 mph(409 at combat speed, in war thunder this is known as WEP), at its optimum altitude it would be 410 mph at 36,400 feet and its cruising speed being 227 mph at 5000ft this would change along with the flight as you would below to avoid radar and then climb to a higher altitude to avoid confrontation with the enemy speaking of the armament. The Peacemaker could be view as big and slow to some but it can protect itself with 16 20mm type M24A1 guns, 2 of these cannons in turrets there are 8 turrets throughout the aircraft the nose, tail (the tail is the first in American bombers to have a radar-based defense with a AN/APG-41A gun-laying radar), uppermost and rear top fuselage, and lastly the rearmost bottom turrets. These defenses could be stowed within the aircraft while in flight to reduce drag, at any point in time you could have up to 2 turrets which is four deadly fast firing cannons trained on your aircraft, the fire rate and the type of ammunition being a API and an HEI shell the gunners can make quick work of any unwanted foe. There was a featherweight program to reduce the weight of the aircraft. This allowed an increased speed and rage but not without its drawbacks. 'featherweighting' mods. (I) was the removal of all defensive guns except the tail gun, and (II) was the removal of the bunks, stove, and fire suppression system. For nerd reasons, both mods together were (III). This was implicated late in its service life as the rise of jets with higher altitude hindered the advantage of the aircraft in its high altitude at the time it was built and meant for. She was designed for WW2 if Britain was ever lost the Americans would need a way to bomb Germany and come back home. With a range up to 8221 miles and a radius of 10,650 miles along with a maximum bomb capacity of 86,000 pounds, the Peacemaker could start and end a war in a fell swoop. From its development in 1946 to its beginning trials in 1948 and its service from 1949 to 1959 she was the backbone of the United States Airforce which was starting out but made a name for itself. Below are the following specifications for the last variant to be produced with/without modifications B-36J and B-36J-III Crew: 15 Power Plant: (6) P&W R-4360-53 Wasp Major radial engines and (4) J47-GE-19 Jet Engines Armament: (8) 20mm gun turrets, 6 are retractable and 1 guided with radar Payload: up to 86,000 pounds of bombs and nuclear-capable Combat speed/combat altitude: 368mph/39,700 feet Max speed/altitude: 428mph/38,500 feet Stall speed: 130mph (120mph when on minimum fuel and max payload) WEP is possible, at sea level the time is 5 minutes(turbo critical), and at 35,000 for 30 minutes to continue depending on power levels and engine health.
