 Due to its impressive low-altitude manoeuvring capabilities (for a medium bomber), the H-5 can be utilized in a variety of roles. In all game modes, if a teammate is struggling to evade an assailant, the H-5 may be able to provide the supporting fire with its dual 23 mm cannons. The aircraft is hampered in this role partly because of its mediocre roll rate and low ammunition count for its forward-firing cannons. If its bomb load is expended, the H-5 is also a very capable "gunship", or a bomber aircraft whose role is to attract, distract, and destroy enemy aircraft. Other aircraft that can perform this role include the [[G8N1|G8N1 Renzan]], [[IL-10 (1946)]], [[B-29A-BN|B-29 Superfortress]], and [[B-24D-25-CO|B-24D Liberator]], among others.
-The H-5 can be used as a base-bomber in RB. This is initially difficult due to its small stock load of twelve 100 kg bombs, but becomes much easier once the 3,000 kg bomb is unlocked. This monster of a bomb is the second-largest bomb in the game, after the [[Pe-8]]'s [[FAB-5000 (5,000 kg)|FAB-5000]] bomb. This bomb can one-shot bases very easily. When used in this manner, proceed to the nearest base as fast as possible (possibly in a slight dive), drop ordnance, and run. This ensures that the H-5 won't be intercepted by any fighters, which will take more time to get there. Attempting to climb may not be the best option, as many enemy fighters can get to bomber altitude very quickly.

 The second, and more interesting option for the H-5 is ground attack. The aircraft can carry a variety of powerful ground-attack ordnance (namely the aforementioned 3,000 kg bomb), which make the aircraft extremely effective in mixed battles. When used in this manner, it is worth noting that the aircraft is much more vulnerable, especially in air battles where enemy fighters will arrive extremely quickly. The first effective load for ground attack is the aforementioned 3,000 kg bomb; despite only having a single drop, the bomb is effective enough to take out every enemy tank at a base. This option also ensures the safety of the aircraft, as you will be able to escape quickly after dropping the bomb.

-The '''{{Specs|name}}''' (Chinese: 轰-5型轰炸机) manufactured by HAMC was the first jet bomber of the PLAAF during the 1950s as their direct upgrades from previous fleet of propeller-driven Tu-2 by the early days of Cold War, where PLAAF imported few dozens of IL-28 from Soviet Union and has been used during the First Taiwan Strait Crisis; the plans for reverse-engineering IL-28 started after the worsening Sino-Soviet relationship in view of not possible to import the production line from treaties. HAMC then revised some design on the IL-28 from weight reduction and fitting the Chinese industries (which were still rather lagged behind the mainstream), the revised jet passed for construction by 1965 and was first flown on September of 1966, eventually joined PLAAF by 1967. The 507 of them served PLAAF and was aided to overseas allies such as Albania and North Korea; some of these jets were also modified as testbeds of new avionics for JH-7 Feibao and electronic-warfare aircraft. The H-5 family eventually decommissioned as JH-7, H-6 and Su-30MKK eventually filled the demands for bombers by 2009.

The PLAAF imported a few dozen IL-28s from the Soviet Union, which were using during the First Taiwan Strait Crisis. However, due to deteriorating Sino-Soviet relations and the inability to import the production line through treaties, plans to reverse-engineer the IL-28 were initiated. HAMC made several design revisions, including weight reduction and compatibility with Chinese manufacturing capabilities (which were still lagging behind the mainstream at the time). By 1965, the revised jet was approved for construction and made its maiden flight in September 1966. It officially entered service with the PLAAF in 1967. A total of 507 H-5 bombers were deployed in the PLAAF, some of which were also provided to overseas allies such as Albania and North Korea. Additionally, some H-5s were modified as testbeds for new avionics intended for the JH-7 Feibao and electronic warfare aircraft. The H-5 family was eventually decommissioned, with the JH-7, H-6, and Su-30MKK fulfilling the bomber requirements by 2009.
-Introduced in [[Update 1.91 "Night Vision"]] as one of the jet in the initial Chinese tech tree. The overall performance and appearance of H-5 is identical to its Soviet ancestor; not only it provides vast payload options against enemy ground targets while maintaining fast enough speed to quickly retreat from the battlefield, the bomber still retained self-defense autocannons for any possible enemies that come too close- a burst from 23 mm autocannon is very likely to take down other jets with ease. Do beware of certain jets with AAMs at its tier which will have no problem taking H-5 out from safe distances.
+Introduced in [[Update 1.91 "Night Vision"]], the H-5 closely resembles its Soviet predecessor in terms of performance and appearance. It offers a wide range of payload options to engage enemy ground targets, while maintaining sufficient speed for a swift retreat from the battlefield. It is also equipped with self-defense autocannons to fend off any approaching enemy aircraft - a burst from its 23 mm autocannons can easily take down other jets. However, caution should be exercised when facing jets equipped with air-to-air missiles at its tier, as they can eliminate the H-5 from safe distances.
