The bomb load upgrades allow an increase in total bomb load, from 1600 lb through 2000 lb to 4000 lb so they are a priority, especially that the bigger bombs also allow destroying ships or tanks.

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • Good bomb load

Cons:

  • Slow

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 If the historical reference turns out to be too big, take it to a separate article, taking a link to an article about the vehicle and adding a block "/ historical reference" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/Name-vehicles/historical reference) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to include links to sources at the end of the article.

Media

An excellent addition to the article will be video guides, as well as screenshots from the game and photos.
