+The '''1,400 kg PC 1400 X, or Fritz X''' is a German manually-guided anti-ship glide bomb. It was introduced in [[Update 1.77 "Advancing Storm"]].

 === Effective damage ===
-''Describe the type of damage produced by this type of bomb (high explosive, splash damage, etc)''
+The PC 1400 X,, with its 320kg (705 lbs) payload, can absolutely demolish any targets one may face. Additionally, the massive 14m armour destruction radius can and will vaporize every tank on a capture point in Ground Realistic Battles, and the 100m fragment dispersion radius can kill light tanks and open tops far beyond.
 === Comparison with analogues ===
-''Give a comparative description of bombs that have firepower equal to this weapon.''
+While there are no bombs with the same or even similar explosive mass as the Fritz X, there are still comparisons to be made. First, one must point out that this is the lowest BR guided bomb in War Thunder, which automatically puts it far above the competition even without the fantastic explosive payload it carries. The only other major competition is unguided weapons used by the Americans, at this tier the most common being the 100-500lbs variants, which it outpaces easily with 160kg (350lbs) more TNT equivalent.
 == Usage in battles ==
-''Describe situations when you would utilise this bomb in-game (vehicle, pillbox, base, etc)''
+While in real life it was mainly used for anti-ship purposes, the Fritz X's use in War Thunder is not so limited. Its main use in the game is in Ground Battles, where it can easily take out individual tanks and even whole groups of them on caps. The only downside to this method is that the planes carrying the PC 1400 X are big and slow heavy bombers. This gives AA and planes a very large target to hit and shoot down. Because of this, it is very possible for one to not even make it to the battlefield, let alone a second pass.
