-The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a premium gift rank {{Specs|rank}} American bomber {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update 1.67 "Assault"]], during the [[wt:en/news/4648-special-war-thunder-chronicles-en/|2017 World War Two: Chronicle]] event, unlocked after obtaining 6 Chronicle Awards.
+The Lockheed PV-2 "Harpoon" was a significant development from the PV-1 "Ventura". The Harpoon, much like the name implies, was intended for maritime duties. One of the biggest complaints about the PV-1 was its lacklustre takeoff performance. To fix that, the PV-2 featured a longer wingspan to increase lift. Further modifications included more provisions for fuel, the removal of the bombardier's position, and other air frame changes. The R-2800-31 Double Wasp engine was kept in place from the Ventura. Performance was expected to be a bit worse except for range and take-off due to the extra fuel provisions and wing change. During initial testing, it was found that the wings would wrinkle, and another completely new redesign was needed to fix the issue. After the problem was remedied, the PV-2 Harpoon was quite popular within service and was also exported to other countries like Brazil and New Zealand.

 '''Enemies worth noting:'''
-[[Yak-2 KABB]]: Do not think that the {{PAGENAME}} can confidently out maneuver this plane just because it is twin-engined. The Yak-2 has an amazing turn rate for a heavy fighter, thus the {{PAGENAME}} must avoid turning with it, if not dogfighting with it in general. It bears a pair of ShVAK cannons that can easily damage vital parts like engine or cooling systems. It has green camo, greatly resembling an Me 410 but with an H-tail like a Bf 110's.

 [[ZSD63]]: Though it is hard to identify specific SPAA vehicles on the ground from the air (especially when they are shooting tracers at the plane), if a ZSD63 is identified, avoid it at all costs and '''do not''' attempt head-ons with it, ever. It can easily snap a wing off by causally putting a short burst in the {{PAGENAME}}'s flight path. Don't even get close to it unless it is occupied with another friendly or if the {{PAGENAME}} is equipped with a bomb that it can use. One identifying feature of the ZSD63 is its rather boxy and tall hull with a geometric turret sitting at the back, slightly similar to a Wirbelwind's. The firing manner is also distinctive: the sound and green tracers are very rapid, much like a buzz saw, but then it will remain silent for half a minute reloading. Note that an experienced ZSD player will hold its fire or shoot in single salvos with long halts between, making it look like that it's reloading. Armour-piercing belt is recommended since their high penetration can tear through the ZSD's armour with ease and knock out its crews.
