Anyone else think France Lancaster having an overrated BR?

Man, what makes the UK version of Lancaster worth in BR 5.3 is both its high speed and the 12000Ib bomb, but the France version with a useless radar(not usable in-game) replaced a gunner sit and even don’t have the 8000Ib nor the 4000Ib bomb compare to the UK version of Lancaster B Mk III, but still having a same BR not seems reasonable.

You need to remember that when the Lancaster got the Bigger bomb the BR stayed the same so I think it’s fair

but it originally the UK version still having the 8k and the 4k bomb still the France version got nothing else but only the 1000s

Fr*nce never got these weapons because it was used for Maritime patrol. It’s in the name MR.7. I wouldn’t know what it should get but do think they wouldn’t need any large bombs to sink any boats.

MR (and ASR) versions had a cross bar in the bomb bay for carrying a lifeboat. It was physically impossible to fit anything with a diameter much bigger than a 1000lb bomb on the centre carrier that was used for the heavier stores.

But i am in support of lowering the BR due to its load limitations and lack of dorsal turret.

They are all over BRed. Most Heavy bombers in game are over BRed. The mega bombs mean nothing for air modes
