The 3.3 br placement has to be justified by something.
It deserves to carry the Mk.XV torpedo, at the very least, which the firebrand has.

It’s British so it has to suffer
It being 3.3 is still a godsend than its original BR 5.3/.7 (one of the two iirc), but not sure a torpedo change will really do anything & tbh can the Mk. XV really fit where the XII fits?
Better solution would be reducing them all a bit further by 0.3 imo, this can facilitate the addition of its final form the coastal bomber command Vickers Warrick B Mk. I (or other early mark still fitted with bombing equipment) this is essentially a slightly longer version but fitted with a dorsal quad 7.62 mm turret instead of waist gunners, it would probably be able to be 3.3 with better rear defence of eight 7.62 mm MG’s (when you give something enough little MG’s facing one way, it becomes slightly more decent than just two or four MG’ eg: Marcel Bloch MB.174 A-3 with seven 7.5 mm MG’s facing rearwards)
Most bombers could get a 1.0 br drop and still be miserable to play
If it had its real life structural strength it’d be nice. I’m not asking for it to be invincible as it clearly wasn’t but the Welly was known for taking quite a bit of punishment and making it home.
In game it’s quite possibly the easiest bomber to shoot down, but then the way guns are behaving these days it doesn’t take much to shoot anything down.
