-''Much like other heavy bombers in-game, one wants to unlock the heaviest loads ASAP and reach the strategic bomb point ASAP. The best defenses are the rear hemisphere, with wing turrets offering an exceptional area of coverage and solid firepower. With that in mind the best survival technique, if unable to climb above the enemy, is to fly close to the ground. Avoid letting enemies attack from directly below or in front.  In RB matches with tank columns on the road, the 34 x 100 kg bomb load is effective at destroying armored columns, laying a dense line along the road the convoy is on will score kills and possibly win the match.  Otherwise use the max load of 7 x 500 kg bombs for medium tanks and strategic targets.  When using torpedoes, load all 3, skim the surface of water and make use of islands as you stealthy approach target.  Spread the drop to increase chance of 1 torpedo hitting, unless point blank, then all can be rapidly dropped.''

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).'' -->
