Also, I have 4.08 and the Pe-8 bombsight won't work. Or so it seems.
Yes, like the Ermolaev Er-2, the cockpit was offset to one side. Soviet bombers had only one pilot, unlike British and US ones, so it was designed to give more space for the pilot ad bombardier in their separate compartments, as well as improve visibility.
The screenshots look fantastic! I really can't wait, flying a heavy night bomber on the Eastern Front, in winter, would be great! If we only had a map that allowed for the very long range aviation (ДБА) sorties from airbases in the Central Front, against targets in Finland!...
