This was the most widely produced British bomber and was used throughout the Second World War, with more than 11,000 units being built. Wellingtons were used for night bombing, submarine hunting, mine clearing and as carriers of airborne radio detection and guidance systems.

About this aircraft
The Wellington Mk Ic was captured and tested by the Luftwaffe. This bomber is great at high altitudes and can take eighteen 250 lb or nine 500 lb bombs into battle. For defensive weaponry, it has 7.7 mm machine guns in the nose, at the sides and at the back of the plane.
Gaijin should think about adding a Ju-88 A-1 as premium low tier bomber.
Even as the Wellingtons can absorb a lot of enemy hits - imho the Ju 88 A-1 is a way better pic if someone wants to play bomber for Germany - way higher payload at the same BR and thx to the C 250/500 loadout plus internal 28 x SC 50 a plane to decide matches by killing 1or 2 bases and the enemy airfield in one run.
The survival chances are also way higher (thx to higher speed and dive speed) - especially since the 20mm ShVak buff (available at BR 2.3 for USSR fighters) the survival rates of these very low tier bombers are nothing to write home about.
Ok, this is getting stupid, why is it that EVERY planes anniversary is celebrated by a sale of its’ German premium? You just did this with the LA-5 and Mig-21 too… can we look forward to the German P-47 going on sale for its’ anniversary? Or you could put the sales on for the nation that ACTUALLY BUILT THEM for once.
