 <!-- ''Describe the tactics of playing in the aircraft, the features of using aircraft in a team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but instead, give the reader food for thought. Examine the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).'' -->
-'''High-altitude bomber:''' For high altitude bombing, gaining altitude is a priority, especially to put distance between you and fighters that rumble around the low-mid altitudes.  At higher altitudes, mobile targets will be difficult to bomb as they will scatter when your bombs are released.  Up high, it is better to focus on immobile targets such as artillery/AA gun emplacements or bases (if they are on the map).  In AB, one way to gain altitude is to:

 * Remember, as you are climbing, release bombs as they reload to reduce weight.

 * Repeat 4-5 as needed until you get shot down or the game ends.
-'''Mid-Low altitude bomber:''' At the mid-low altitudes you are a prime target for fighters, being not as manoeuverable and a fairly large profile.  Here you may only get one chance to drop your bombs before being shot down, so look for holes in the enemy defense where you can slip by, line up a shot, drop your ordinance and manouever out for another run (or reload at base if playing RB/SB).  If pressed and there are enemy all around, turn into heavy-fighter mode after your ordinance has been dropped and start pursuing.  The turn and loop time is not the greatest, however this aircraft has a strong rudder and can do a power-on wing-over, quickly changing directions without much loss in energy (and a surprise to some pursuit aircraft who think they have you nailed).  At this point, you can also transition to attacker mode.

-'''Attacker (on the deck):'''  While the four wing mounted 7.5 mm FN Browning machine guns may not seem like much, when coupled with the 50 kg bombs, you can rack up some vehicle kills.  While strafing the ground, all soft targets are available as the vehicles will not have much time to get out of the way of your ordinance.  In AB it is best to use your 3rd person view to use the bombing indicator as you will need to fly the aircraft and bomb at the same time (vs. using (V) and solely utilizing the bomb sight while the AI keeps the aircraft level).  In between bombing reloads you can strafe with your 4 x 7.5 mm machine guns to eliminate artillery/AA gun emplacements and armoured vehicles.  While on the deck, you will typically encounter enemy aircraft and can divert to go after them if given the chance or perform evasive maneuvers while your gunner fires away (you get credit for hits, so let him fire away!).
