-The A-29 first started out as the "Model 14 Super Electra", a successful commercial airliner. A few years later, Lockheed experimented with a recon/light bomber version of the Super Electra. As luck would have it, Britain was also looking for a combat aircraft for their own air force. Over 200 Hudsons' were delivered to the Royal Air Force where they would undergo further redesigns and improvements. The A-29 was one of Lockheed's redesigns which featured two Wright R-1820-27 but was largely the same aircraft as the A-28. China received 26 A-29 Hudsons, but not much is known about the A-29 in Chinese service as many were lost in accidents. Only a handful actually were put to use in combat.

-This version of the [[Hudson Mk V (Great Britain)|Lockheed Hudson]], designated the A-29, was modified to be able to be used as a troop transport outsides the bombings and ground attack duties. As such, the plane's fully enclosed turret with a pair of .30 Browning machine guns is replaced with a convertible position with a single .50 Browning machine gun, as well as the more economical Wright R-1820 engines.
+Introduced in [[Update 1.91 "Night Vision"]], the '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a light-bomber that also served in various other roles. The A-29 was essentially the regular Hudson bomber but received updates to make it a more viable troop transport. It featured more economical engines as well as armament changes. The A-29 has less than stellar defensive armament: with only a single 12.7 mm machine gun turret and a single 7.62 mm machine gun turret. A players best defensive tactic in this case is to dive away from opponents with its relatively impressive 564 km/h (350 mph) structural speed limit. It also has two offensive 7.62 mm machine guns with over 500 rounds per gun. Unfortunately, this isn't very suited for attacking anything but light ground targets like anti-air or howitzer positions. Overall, the A-29 does its role as a light-bomber effectively, but players should take note of its lacklustre armament.

@@ Line 115: / Line 115: @@
 Being a light bomber, the A-29's most preferred tactics is to dive into enemy base and quickly release its payload. Due to the plane's weak structural integrity, however, care must be taken to prevent overspeeding and ripping your wings in the process. While the frontal .30 cal machine guns is not so useful in a dogfight, you can still use it to strafe AI-controlled planes and soft ground targets for extra credits.
-Like the British Hudson, the A-29's most notable characteristic is her surprisingly good manoverability. While the plane's low speed and weak offensive firepower will keep you out from joining any dogfights, it is more than enough to get your .50 cal on your six and hit right back at any pursuing fighters.

-The A-29 is equipped with a pair of .30 (7.62 mm) Browning machine guns at the nose as her offensive armament. Due to the low gun count, this weapon is ill-suited for head-on engagements due to lacking in firepower to quickly finish the enemy off, further exactabated by the absence of any armour on the plane. Because of this, the gun's primary usage is to strafe at soft ground targets (trucks, gun positions, etc.) or an AI-controlled plane whose flew in a more predictable pattern.

- Lockheed Hudson (A-29) were among one of the successful product of Lockheed Corp. (part of the now-well-known Lockheed Martin), many countries in late 1930s purchased it for their own purpose, including the National Revolutionary Air Force (later ROCAF) in view of new bombers.

-The earliest record of A-29 in NRAF service were back in 1943 where they received 19 A-29 in Sichuan in October. Then A-29 joined multiple bombing runs against Japanese-occupied areas throughout 1943; it was one of the cornerstone bombers of the NRAF before they eventually upgraded to American [[B-25J-30 (China)|B-25]] in late 1944, where the remaining A-29 was abandoned in Chongqing and no further records of these aircrafts were left.
