== 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.''

=== Vehicles equipped with this weapon ===


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

== General info ==
''Tell us about the tactical and technical characteristics of the bomb.''

=== 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:'''
*

'''Cons:'''

== 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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the weapon and adding a block "/History" (example: 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. 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>.''

== Media ==
''Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, 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;''
* ''references to approximate analogues by other nations and research trees.''

== External links ==
''Paste links to sources and external resources, such as:''
* ''topic on the official game forum;''

-'''PC1600''' is a very specialised bomb, useful primarily against naval vessels, in particular the hull of the battleships and heavy cruisers, if dropped from a high altitude, level flight. Note, though, that in order to penetrate the top of the turrets of most of the battleships, the bomb needs to be dropped from over 3500 meters.

-Against ground targets it's basically an overweight equivalent of [[SC500 (500 kg)|SC500]] - still enough to kill every ground vehicle from a direct hit, but with the mass of 1.6 ton it makes your airplane a slower, less manoeuvrable target.

 There are very, very few heavy armour-piercing bombs available, making it difficult to make a fair comparison, as most nations lack any bombs that could be thought of as an analogue. Still, among those few peers that exist, the PC1600 has an excellent explosive filler and penetration characteristics.
