Havoc Mk I

[stips]

Is it worth buying? Is it fun? Or the british mgs are just useless?

[stips]

thx mate

Actually it's quite a good plane. I love them all, A-20, Havoc, Boston, DB-7, but where the Havoc stands out is that you can lower the BR to 1.3, facing mostly biplanes. It'll wreak Havoc there :)

What do you mean i can lower its BR to 1.3? i mean it says its 1.7...

Play AB, the modes with best incomes ;).

1 plane BR 1.7, 1 BR 1.3 (i.e. Gladiator or Wirraway...), rest reserves and Swordfish for what it's worth : BR of your lineup 1.3...

They are all good for getting ground kills if you use them in their proper BR matches.

Is it any good in realistic battle for ground attack?

yeah, when igot off that thing, almost every other bomber kinda dissapointed in how fast theyre taken down. but the havoc somehow can take a huuuuge beating and still fly like theres no problems on board

but thats been ages ago, so with all the model changes, who knows how it is now tbh.

I dont think it works as well for RB. Mainly because it only has 4 500lbs bombs. Takes a lot of trips back to base to have much of an affect.

Those types of bombers (A-20 style) are awesome at top speed, forcing enemy planes behind it where the .50 cals can do some real damage. Always keep those bombers near top speed when being pursued, doing gentle turns to retain your energy. They are such fun bombers to fly.

[hegemoni]

the plane with the other british bombers will troll you loads of loot
,so yeah its a fun plane
i like it and its nifty n black,,sure dnt have the excellant a20g-rear mental gunner fully loaded n rockets
but hey,,,it adds at least some offensive ability...so go hunting planes n bomb-

One thing i dont know what was happening when they gave away any of thoose planes?

They'll probably give away the Boston or DB-7 again at some point so it's probably not worth it as these are effectively the same plane.

All in all they are quite fun to play, get into really low level matches and, with the fleet air arm, now have some decent options for fighters to accompany them. The light machine guns are pretty bad but make short work of soft ground targets and they are incredibly fast for their rating and can soak up a decent amount of damage.
