-The {{PAGENAME}} is a mediocre bomber at its battle rating in air battles, though this variant can stay in WEP for longer and is good for a warm climate. At the beginning of the battle, go up to 3,000-4,500 m and go to destroy enemy bases. Whenever enemy fighters or other aircraft attack the {{PAGENAME}}, use your gunners to fight back against enemy aircraft, it is recommended to use the universal ammunition for the [[Breda-SAFAT (12.7 mm)|12.7 mm Breda-SAFAT ]] turret belt because it contains 2 API-T and 2 AP-I per belt. {{annotation|AP-I|Armour-Piercing Incendiary}} and {{annotation|API-T|Armour-Piercing Incendiary Tracer}} ammo is perfect for defeating enemy planes because it can knock out the enemy pilot or set fire to enemy planes. Meanwhile for the [[Lewis (7.7 mm)|7.7 mm Lewis machine gun]], use universal ammo for the side turrets belt because it contains 1 Tracer and 3 AP-I rounds. When you are close to the enemy base, use your bomber sights to drop your bombs and then return to the airfield to reload your bombs.
