Now that we have heavies flyable - how about Tu-4 "Bull"? Potentially one of the most important players of 1946, the only one who really deserves name "Red Bull"?

Very small amount of work to do, compared to other new projects:

3D model is virtually the same as B-29 with different turrets (each turret and tail had two NS-23 23mm cannon for a total of 10 with 100 rpg, which are already in game modelled on numerous aircraft). I see no reason for its DM to be different than the one of B-29.

Engines were very similar to the original ones on B-29, however, they could also be taken from an I-185M71, as M73 on a Tu-4 was slightly modified M71. Consequently by my opinion its performance would closely match the one of B-29 and can remain unaltered.

Weapon loadouts:

Probably similar bombload options as B-29, with Russian equivalents. Can anyone help with info here?

Although it seems pretty obvious I can't recall it being mentioned yet.
