PB4Y-2 is bad..
At the BR of 5.7 it's compared to the other bombers like it, such as the B17E/L and the B-24.

It's less durable than the B17.
It's way slower than the B17 and the B24.
(Infact it's barely faster than the Catalina PBY, a 2.0 with only 400lbs less of starting payload LOL)

-It's starting payload of 2000lbs is pretty bad, cannot take out a base with it.
-It's got decent gunner coverage all around, but if the tail gunner is shot there's no rear coverage -AT ALL. It's also very easy to take out the waist gunners when shooting from behind because of cross fire.
-It can't fly without a wing tip, stabilizer, etc.
-It takes a good 10+ seconds to restart the engine, you need to do this quite often since a couple of bullets will make the engines start cooking. You will lose about 190 alt during this time.
-It's so slow, that it cannot take off from any carrier or airfield in the game(RB of course), when you land and resupply the aircraft, it puts you into an air spawn.
--This is something that annoys me, since historically it's a naval plane and would need to take off from sea port fields and airfields and carriers.

??????????????????

and I just had a Yak-3P ram my wing, which caused me to crash, however the Yak-3P flew away fine, a single engine fighter plane(although since it's russian...) was completely unscathed.
