P-61 "Black Widow"
Our previous update “Battle March” introduced the P-61 "Black Widow" heavy fighter in the American tree. An aircraft with very powerful armament and a deadly defense turret that protects the whole upper hemisphere that has become very popular in War Thunder. Unfortunately we could not introduce cockpit for the Black Widow with the “Battle March” update, however in update 1.59 "Flaming Arrows" we will add a fully operational cockpit for this beautiful vehicle!

Bf 109B-1
The earliest Messerschmitt available in War Thunder, the Bf 109B-1, will also receive a completely authentic cockpit. We are sure that those who appreciate historical accuracy will love it.

Bomber cockpit next pls? :D
LOL. Yeah, haven't you heard the news? We of the community do not want cockpits. They don't go over well with us and we don't come here and the forums and say, "Yes please, more cockpits. They're great, keep them coming! Specially bombers!" Naw, we don't do that. By the way, great cockpits! First thing I did when I seen "New cockpits" was click the link to see if it was a bomber. While I'm disappointed it wasn't a B29 for EC5's sake... what'ev. Yeah, I'm a SB pilot and know this is...
No because reasons that you can see in last Dev Q&A
Beaufighter cockpit ? pretty please
and Po 2
And Dornier
Yes! This is great news! Would be nice if we could get cockpits for bombers soon? As It was announced several patches ago..
Bomber cockpits take significantly more time to create than even whole aircraft do. You can read more about their progress in our recent Q and A compilation for May: https://forum.warthunder.com/index.php?/topic/226127-dev-questions-answers-compilation/?p=6134220
learn to read the Q&A they won't do bomber cockpits soon because it's x4 more work than a fighter cockpit.
Yes, one step closer to having cockpits for every plane. Good addition guys.
I was hoping for a new vehicle DevBlog today, but all we get (so far) is two new cockpits. Bit of a let down for me, but I know others will who use cockpit view more will certainly appreciate it.
To some of our Simulator, Realistic and even some Arcade pilots, cockpits are a very cool feature. Whilst they may not be to everyone's taste, its additional new things to play with and enjoy :)
DevBlog's coming next week :)
