General information

The Tu-2S-44 (NATO reporting name: "Bat") was a Soviet front-line bomber of the 44th post-war series. It differed from bombers produced during the war in that it had improved turret mountings, which provided greater firing arcs and improved visibility from the cockpit. It also made wider use of duralumin. Between 1945 and 1949, a total of 1,856 Tu-2S bombers were produced.

The Tu-2S-44 was introduced in Update 1.29. It has an impressive bomb load and excellent offensive and defensive weapons, enabling it to shoot down enemy bombers and fighters in flight. Additionally, thanks to its protected fuel tanks and crew armor, the Tu-2S-44 has decent survivability. However, the bomber has a few disadvantages: its maximum speed is not exceptional compared to its main opponents, and its climb rate is low.
