Player Opinion

Pros and Cons

Pros:


  • Absolutely Massive HP pool, can be improved to over 3000 HP!
  • Horrifyingly powerful defensive armament, especially when approaching the tail, will melt most targets behind it.
  • 360° defensive armament allows it to gunship fairly well.


Cons:


  • Slowest tier 8 bomber currently in the game.
  • No ordinance improvement over the B-32
  • Engines are frequently knocked out.
  • Despite massive HP pool, will still take significant punishment from AA.
