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.

  • 9 mm Steel plate between the nose and the pilot
  • 16 mm Steel Plate behind the pilot
  • 25 mm Steel plate in front of the tail gunner weapon
  • 105 mm Bulletproof glass in front of the tail gunner

All fuel tanks are self-sealing.

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)

  • 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 its battle rating
  • Fixed and turret guns of a large calibre
  • 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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/ History" (example: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.

See also

Links to the articles on the War Thunder Wiki that you think will be useful for the reader, for example:

  • reference to the series of the aircraft;
  • links to approximate analogues of other nations and research trees.

External links

Paste links to sources and external resources, such as:

  • topic on the official game forum;
  • encyclopedia page on the aircraft;
  • other literature.
