I wasn't making an ironic comment at all!! I love bombers, I love flying them, I love watching them fly, I love dropping bombs from way up high and trying to hit my target as accurately as I can (I'm not often successfull unfortunately!), and I fly mainly Russian aircraft! So, a flyable Pe-8, a flyable IL-4, and a flyable SB-2 would be really really sweet!!
As to the Pe-8, I remember over the years discussions about trying to get aircraft into the sim and Oleg reporting that sources for cockpits and the like were either non-existent or not of a high enough quality to be able to accurately create the 3d cockpits to make them flyable. I remember specifically Oleg saying that there were no surviving pictures of the Pe-8 cockpit which is why it was never done. It's impressive to see that Psy06 spent three years getting the missing tech data to complete this aircraft!
Anyway, I am happy to see that not everyone is obsessed with single seat fighters!
