The Tu-14T is a naval modification of the Tu-14 which itself is based on the Project 73 by the Tupolev design bureau. The Project 73 was a tri-engine jet bomber that was designed after the end of the second world war. After the Project 73 was rejected and ultimately cancelled, changes were made to the original design and the resulting aircraft is what is now known as the Tu-14. The new aircraft was trialed and it was decided that it would be used for maritime operations and thus was heavily modified and upgraded for that standard and also gained the ability carry torpedoes. The aircraft equipped with many modern systems such as an ejection seat, a "blind landing" system, an IFF suite including both an IFF interrogator and an IFF responder as well as a radar that would aid with bombing and an advanced bombing sight that was linked to the aircraft's autopilot.
The Tu-14T was introduced in Update 1.65 "Way of the Samurai". It is very similar to the IL-28, featuring almost identical armaments and flight performance with their only major difference being the airbrake found on the Tu-14T. While its acceleration and turning performance are slightly worse compared to the IL-28, the wing rip speed is higher (almost 900kph) so it is possible to out-speed IL-28s during dives. The Tu-14T features an excellent arsenal of bombs, including a 3000kg bomb with a large blast radius as well as a very potent torpedo, suitable for engaging naval vessels with relative safety due to its range and speed in the water. The aircraft is also equipped with a rear facing dual 23mm turret with good firing angles as well as two 23mm autocannons under the fuselage that are controlled by the pilot.
