Being a more diverse group than pure fighters, several of these planes can more than hold their own against aircraft from the [[#Aircraft: Fighters|fighter class]]. While having a rear gunner is of dubious usefulness, these planes are excellent at ground attack and should be employed to that end. | Being a more diverse group than pure fighters, several of these planes can more than hold their own against aircraft from the [[#Aircraft: Fighters|fighter class]].

This plane allows you to drop bombs without really paying attention, and they will still hit something. This plane, when at speed, also has superior maneuverability to its German counterpart, the [[#Stuka|Stuka]]. Speed is essential for using this plane. This plane misleads people into a false sense of security. While it handles well at speed and holds speed well, once it has slowed down it’s a sitting duck. Unfortunately, building up airspeed with this plane seems to take an eternity, however this plane is very forgiving. As such, it is a wonderful aircraft to learn on. As long as altitude (potential energy) or airspeed (kinetic energy) are maintained, this plane seems to perform the impossible. It can easily shoot down [[#Me109|Me109s]] and [[#Yak|Yaks]] simply because it is ''almost'' a fighter at high speed. If you follow a plane into a Split-S and don’t think you have room to pull up, this plane will surprise you more often than not. This is a good aircraft for learning the basics of flight in Battlefield 1942. | This plane allows you to drop bombs without really paying attention, and they will still hit something.
