The Tu-14T was developed as a competitor to the IL-28 bomber. The project resulted in the Tu-14T being used as a torpedo bomber with a similar design nature to that of the IL-28. However the Tu-14 proved inferior to the IL-28. It was capable of carrying more weight compared to its competitor but it was slower and less reliable. The Tu-14T was used as a maritime reconnaissance and torpedo bomber, the T in the name was added to signify its role of torpedo bomber. The low priority of maritime aircraft meant it was produced in low numbers, with 88 units built in the early '50s and it served as the Soviet Union's main torpedo bomber between 1961 and 1970.

It was introduced in [[Update 1.65 "Way of the Samurai"]]. The Tu-14T is larger and slower than the IL-28 but it compensates this with more variable loadouts for ground attack and better loadouts for naval strikes against enemy ships. The Tu-14T can be considered very similar to the IL-28 but its lack of ammo and no gunpods available to increase the firepower mean that it can't be used reliably as an interceptor. So, in order to survive it must climb to high altitudes like most bombers and use its turrets when possible to attack incoming interceptors. However it has the benefit of including an airbrake, which is essential for naval targeting and the launch process of torpedoes.

The Tu-14T can be considered a slow and heavy jet like most bombers. However, even for its BR it is quite slow when compared to bombers like the B-57 Canberra or the IL-28. But it includes an airbrake, which is not present in all bombers and this is very important to lose altitude quickly without crashing or for naval targeting.

Much like the IL-28, the Tu-14T can be used in a variety of roles, from a fast base bomber to ground attacker. However, because it is more sluggish than the IL-28 and has less ammo for its offensive guns, it is far less effective at being an impromptu fighter. Because of its slower speed compared to the IL-28, the Tu-14T will be more easily intercepted, requiring the player to rely more on its 23 mm turret to knock out or deter enemy planes.

The Tu-14 'Bosun' was a Soviet jet-powered torpedo bomber, built in small numbers in the early 1950s. Initially designed as a competitor to the Ilyushin [[IL-28]] 'Beagle', the Tu-14 failed to generate sufficient interest and was thereafter redesigned as a torpedo bomber. Due to the low priority of naval aircraft in the Soviet military command, only small numbers of Tu-14s were built. The Tu-14 served as the primary Soviet land-based torpedo bomber until 1961, and served secondary duties until 1970.<ref name=":0">Aguilera, R. (1997)</ref> Only 88 aircraft were built.<ref name=":0" />

=== Design and development ===
 
−
The Tu-14 was designed as a light bomber to compete against the IL-28. Initially designated the Tu-81, it was the culmination of several Tupolev bomber projects, including the Tu-72, -73, -74, -78 and -79. Originally designed as a trijet, it reverted to a twin-engine design after the improved Klimov RD-45/VK1 engine became available. The aircraft featured a conventional straight wing with the two engines slung on nacelles, with a large, spacious bomb bay located in the centre of the main fuselage. Armament consisted of a pair of forward-firing 23 mm cannons, with another pair located in the rear 'stinger' turret position, as well as 3,000 kg of bombs or torpedoes.<ref name=":1">Aviastar. (n.d.)</ref> The aircraft was piloted by a crew of three; a pilot, bombardier and tail gunner. The aircraft could reach a top speed of 845 km/h, and had a range of 3,010 km.<ref name=":0" />

The first Tu-14 prototype was completed in 1948 and was test-flown in 1949. It had a slightly greater range than the IL-28, but failed to generate sufficient interest within the higher ranks of the Russian Military Command. As a result, the Ilyushin aircraft was chosen to become the principal Soviet jet-powered light bomber, and the Tu-14 was instead ordered as a torpedo-bomber and maritime patrol aircraft.<ref name=":1" />

=== Operational History ===
 
−
The Tu-14 started entering service in 1951, as a maritime reconnaissance aircraft and torpedo-bomber. However, due to the lower priority of naval aircraft, only small numbers of Tu-14s were built. The Tu-14 was redesignated the Tu-14T in production models to signify its role as a torpedo bomber.<ref name=":0" /> A reconnaissance version of the aircraft was initially designed as well, with designation Tu-14R, but was never ordered.<ref name=":0" /> In total, 88 Tu-14 aircraft were produced for the Soviet Naval air force, replacing the Tu-2T torpedo bomber. The Tu-14 stayed in frontline service until 1961, and was subsequently relegated to secondary duties. It continued to serve in secondary duties until 1970.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" />

The Tu-14T is a rank V Russian jet bomber with a battle rating of 8.0 (AB/RB/SB). It was introduced in Update 1.65 "Way of the Samurai".

General info

Flight Performance

Describe how the aircraft behaves in the air. Speed, manoeuvrability, acceleration and allowable loads - these are the most important characteristics of the vehicle.

Survivability and armour

Examine the survivability of the aircraft. Note how vulnerable the structure is and how secure the pilot is, whether the fuel tanks are armoured, etc. Describe the armour, if there is any, and also mention the vulnerability of other critical aircraft systems.

Armaments

Offensive armament

Main article: NR-23 (23 mm)

The Tu-14T is armed with:

  • 2 x 23 mm NR-23 cannons, chin-mounted (85 rpg = 170 total)

Suspended armament

Main article: Suspended armaments

The Tu-14T can be outfitted with the following ordnance:

  • 16 x 50 kg FAB-50 bombs (800 kg total)
  • 16 x 100 kg FAB-100 bombs (1,600 kg total)
  • 8 x 250 kg FAB-250M43 bombs (2,000 kg total)

Defensive armament

Main article: NR-23 (23 mm)

The Tu-14T is defended by:

  • 2 x 23 mm NR-23 cannons, tail turret (350 rpg = 700 total)

Usage in battles

Describe the tactics of playing in an aircraft, the features of using vehicles in a team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but instead, give the reader food for thought. Examine the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • Comparatively fast for it's battle rating
  • Fixed and turret guns of a large caliber
  • Access to a torpedo
  • Relatively inexpensive to repair
  • Comes with rocket boosters following a landing, these can be used to assist take-off or in the air for a burst of speed
  • Good firing angles for the turret
  • Effective airbrake
  • Gunner and pilot both have protection

Cons:

  • Large silhouette
  • Too large and heavy to dogfight
  • Unable to outrun the majority of fighters in level flight1
  • Limited ammunition
  • No rockets
  • Can struggle to gain altitude or airspeed
  • Complicated MEC

History

Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the aircraft in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/ History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === Encyclopedia Info ===, also if applicable).

Media

Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
