Strategic bomber - what is it?

[Ulysses]

Hey guys, Anybody know what the icon/animation for the Mk 4, 5, 6 strategic bomber is based on?

It's usually pretty obvious, like the Mk 1, 2, 3 strat bomber is a B52; the Mk 1, 2, 3 supersonic fighter is an F4 phantom; the Mk 4, 5, 6 supersonic fighter seems to be an Su-27 flanker.

But I can't figure out the Mk 4, 5, 6 strat bomber? Fuselage and tail look almost like a C-130, but it can't be that? Any ideas???

It looks like a B-52 to me.

Thanks Sharky, Yep the Strat Bomber Mk1, 2, 3 is def a B52. Agreed.
But the Strat Bomber Mk 4, 5, 6 doesn't seem to be...?

I see what you mean. I think it might be the H-6K Bomber.

Whoah! Good spot Sharky! I think you're right.
The Dom version has lost the turbofans each side and gained some serious chubbiness, but yep, it does resemble a Xian H6-C conventional bomber.
That would make it Dom's first Chinese military airplane... And the 1952 first flight timeline fits CWA and is around the same time as the B-52 too...
You must be ex-mil to have found that so fast?!
