About the aircraft:

TB-3 - A Soviet heavy bomber that was in service in the 1930’s and during WW2 joines rank 1 of the Soviet tree. In 1941 the TB-3 was used as a long-distance bomber. High bombing accuracy was achieved due to it’s low speed (cruise speed - 182 Km/H) and good cockpit visibility. Also, a heavy bomb load (2000 kg - normal load, 5000 kg - maximum load) allowed the TB3 to use all available types of existing bombs.

XF5F-1 - A US naval fighter, the first flight of the prototype took place on 1st of April 1940. It joins rank III of the US tree. This aircraft has a unique design for the time it was created - low-wing with a leading edge in the fore-body. This plane became one of the first twin-engined naval fighters.

Both the TB-3 and the XF5F-1 “Skyrocket” are exlusive special aircraft and can not be purchased.

See you in the skies of War Thunder!
