Usage in battles

Describe the tactics of playing in the aircraft, the features of using aircraft in a team and advice on tactics. 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).

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • Quite manoeuvrable for a bomber (can outturn many heavy fighters, and some single-engine fighters)
  • Can carry a large payload for its BR (4,000 lb!)
  • If aimed properly, and using the right belts, defensive armament is very deadly
  • Defensive armament has great coverage

Cons:

  • Terrible survivability, thanks to the fact that it has no armour
  • Gunners can easily be taken out, especially the tail gunner (no armour, and no bulletproof glass either)
  • Vulnerable to attacks from directly below
  • Not very fast

History

Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the aircraft 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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===, also if applicable).

Media

Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
