Description

GarageImage V-156-F.jpg


The V-156-F is a rank I French dive bomber with a battle rating of 1.3 (AB/SB) and 1.0 (RB). It was introduced in Update 1.75 "La Résistance".

The SBU2-2 was developed in the early 1930s and was sold to the French as a V-156-F. This aircraft served on the French aircraft carrier Béarn, however at the outbreak of the war, the carrier was deemed too slow for service and both squadrons of V-156-F aircraft were transferred to land-based duty. The V-156-F was used continually until the French Armistice.

This aircraft is a fairly slow aircraft, but sturdy. Built as a dive-bomber, it excels at diving down above a target to release its bombs. The V-156-F is one of the only early aircraft in War Thunder which features dive flaps (h) to aid in retarding the build up of speed during a dive, helping prevent ripping off of wings in RB and SB. The V-1156-F differes from it's American siblings (SBU2-2/-3) in that it has additional air brakes mounted on upper surface and lower surface of the wing which extend 90 degrees to the wing when utilized. Wing mounted machine guns allow for this aircraft to strafe softer ground or water targets while waiting for bombs to reload (AB). Rear facing dorsal gunner helps to ward off enemy attackers, however it is not a game changer for this aircraft.

General info

Flight Performance

Describe how the aircraft behaves in the air. Speed, manoeuvrability, acceleration and allowable loads - these are the most important characteristics of the vehicle.

Survivability and armour

  • 3 mm steel boxes behind the gunner.
  • No armour glazing

Armaments

Offensive armament

Main article: Darne Mle 1923 (7.5 mm)

The V-156-F is armed with:

  • 2 x 7.5 mm Mle 1923 machine guns (1,000 rpg = 2,000 total)

The two machine guns are mounted one in each wing. Each are armed with the same amount of ammunition, which means that all guns will fire with each other until empty.

Suspended armament

Main articles: G.A.M.Mn 50 (50 kg), №.1 (100 kg)

The V-156-F can be outfitted with the following ordinance:

  • 2 x 50 G.A.M.Mn 50 bombs (total = 100 kg)
  • 2 x 100 kg №.1 bombs (total = 200 kg)

Defensive armament

Main article: Darne Mle 1923 (7.5 mm)

The V-156-F is defended by:

  • 1 x 7.5 mm Mle 1923 machine gun, rear-facing dorsal turret (750 rpg = 750 total)

Usage in battles

The V-156-F is a slow aircraft which leads it to having two options, first is to hug the terrain. While flying to your target of choice (AAA sites, AA Vehicles or bases), fly along the terrain, utilize what hills and valleys there are to fly through. Time on target may be limited before the enemy gets there so line up your bombing run and drop bombs. This aircraft can maneuver fairly well, utilizing elevator and rudder controls, you can quickly flip this aircraft around and return to ground attacking targets you just flew over.

The second option will be to gain altitude. Going too high will render your bombs ineffective. The idea here is to gain several thousand feet, fly towards your target of choice and then dive on it. During your dive, your aircraft will build up speed, to prevent too much speed build up and control stiffening, reduce your throttle and engage dive brakes (h). This will allow you a controlled descent and the ability to line up your target easier, the unfortunate down side is that now you are slowly moving in a straight line, easy target for enemy fighters. Once you swoop on your target and release your bombs, engage full throttle and retract dive brakes.

While this aircraft is slow, it can be utilized to attack fighters if in a pinch. The maneuverability of this aircraft along with its slow speed can aid in forcing an attacking enemy to overshoot or underestimate the capabilities of this aircraft.

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • Maneuverable
  • Dual role dive bomber/attacker
  • Good diver

Cons:

  • Large target
  • Slow speed
  • Weak defensive weapons
  • Small payload

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 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>, as well as adding them at the end of the article. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === Encyclopedia Info ===, also if applicable).

Media

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

Links to the articles on the War Thunder Wiki that you think will be useful for the reader, for example:

  • reference to the series of the aircraft;
  • links to approximate analogues of other nations and research trees.
