=== Pros and cons ===

''Summarise and briefly evaluate the vehicle in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark its pros and cons in the bulleted list. Try not to use more than 6 points for each of the characteristics. Avoid using categorical definitions such as "bad", "good" and the like - use substitutions with softer forms such as "inadequate" and "effective".''

'''Pros:'''

The early cannons make up for a pretty effective interceptor, requiring sometimes no more than one well placed burst, specially on biplanes

Somewhat maneuverable for such early bomber

*

'''Cons:'''

* Fuel tanks are located in the pontoons making the aircraft very vulnerable to both ground SPAA and other planes
* Low ammo count reduces the plane's effectiveness in dogfights

== History ==

''Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the aircraft in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: <nowiki>https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History</nowiki>) and add a link to it here using the <code>main</code> template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <code><nowiki><ref></ref></nowiki></code>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code>. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under <code><nowiki>=== In-game description ===</nowiki></code>, also if applicable).''

SC1800B (1,800 kg)

2020-08-15T21:05:20Z

U84827585: added both a pro and a con

{{DISPLAYTITLE:1,800 kg SC1800B bomb}}
== Description ==
''Write an introduction to the article in 2-3 small paragraphs. Briefly tell us about the history of the development and combat using the weaponry and also about its features. Compile a list of air, ground, or naval vehicles that feature this weapon system in the game.''
[[File:SC1800B.jpg|left|400px|thumb]]

=== Vehicles equipped with this weapon ===


* {{Specs-Link|he-177a-5}}
* {{Specs-Link|ju-188a-2}}
* {{Specs-Link|ju-288c}}
* {{Specs-Link|me_264}}

=== Effective damage ===
''Describe the type of damage produced by this type of bomb (high explosive, splash damage, etc)''

=== Comparison with analogues ===
''Give a comparative description of bombs that have firepower equal to this weapon.''

== Usage in battles ==
''Describe situations when you would utilise this bomb in-game (vehicle, pillbox, base, etc)''

=== Pros and cons ===
''Summarise and briefly evaluate the weaponry in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark pros and cons as a list.''

'''Pros:'''

* Great for high altitude bombing as its large blast radius means you can still destroy the target even if you miss Great for air battles as it will destroy most bases with only one bomb without the need of a second pass or risk of not all bombs hitting the target

'''Cons:'''

Very few planes can carry such bomb making it quite rare to see in tank RB

*

== History ==
''Examine the history of the creation and combat usage of the weapon in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the weapon and adding a block "/History" (example: <nowiki>https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Weapon-name)/History</nowiki>) and add a link to it here using the <code>main</code> template.

''An excellent addition to the article would be a video guide, as well as screenshots from the game and photos.''

== See also ==
''Links to the articles on the War Thunder Wiki that you think will be useful for the reader, for example:''

* ''reference to the article about the variant of the weapon;''
