Pe2 bomber screenshots

aT sT Walker from the BE45 mod is working on a Sovjet Pe2 Petlyakov / Peshka bomber from WW2.

Aircraft History: The Pe-2 entered service in 1941 as a three-seat dive bomber deriving from Petylakov’s “direction” to build a high altitude interceptor. It was the most outstanding Soviet twin-engined dive bomber of the war in many respects, with over 11,000 built and continued in service until the 1950’s. Confirming the versatility of the aircraft was the many roles in which versions were both produced for and undertook in, including but not limited to Dive bomber, high altitude fighter, reconnaissance, fighter bomber, tactical bomber, trainer and night fighter. Affectionately given the nickname “Peshka” - which means a pawn as in chess - the Pe-2 was considered to be by many the most elegant VVS aircraft of the war.

It will have the following weapons:

2 ShKAS 7.62 millimeter machine guns [500 rounds] in the nose turret

1 single flexibly-mounted Berezin 12.7mm mg (doesn’t work) : rear gunner

1 single flexibly-mounted Berezin 12.7mm mg (doesn’t work) : dorsal turret

4 FAB 250 freefall bombs
