german light bomber, designed as “schnellbomber” or in english “fast bomber”. Hold 10x 50kg bomb in total 500kg. with no more nonsense, here the pros and cons
Pros and cons

Pros:

  • Does not frequently meet fighters armed with cannons or HMGs
  • Decent payload for its rank
  • Has a very short takeoff run
  • Is one of the few German bombers with a machine gun armament
  • Has great manoeuvrability, compared to other bombers of its rank
  • Has both a dorsal and ventral gunner

Cons:

  • Slow compared to other bombers, formations are difficult to maintain
  • Big target
  • Like most German bombers of its rank, lacks defence against any fighter
  • Cannot fly with only one engine, it will be able to maintain speed and altitude only for a short time
  • Light defensive armament can only protect from 4 to 8 o’clock high and vertically below

so, this plane hold 10x 50kg bomb with stock speed 336kmh. Full source: Do 17 E-1 - War Thunder Wiki also i suggest this plane added at br 2

I mean Germany isn’t lacking for bombers; the’ve got that excellent tier I fighter-bomber, and the JU-87 is actually pretty good.

I’d change the bomb load to 2x 250kg bombs; or give the PE-2 a similar 10 bomb configuration variant…

ju 87 isnt that good in defensive and speed…

The Do 17 z-7 has 4 mgs and “1” cannon.

Only strong from the front :slight_smile: very poor maneuverability
