Performance

  • Maximum speed: 225 km/h (140 mph, 121 kn)
  • Cruise speed: 180 km/h (110 mph, 97 kn)
  • Range: 1,600 km (990 mi, 860 nmi)
  • Service ceiling: 4,000 m (13,000 ft)
  • Wing loading: 84 kg/m2 (17 lb/sq ft)

Loadout:

8 x 20mm autocannon turrets

8 x 7.62mm machine gun turrets

Up to 9,600 kg (21,200 lb) of bombs.

The flight performance is very bad, but the armament is very good. Maybe it could be in the BR 2.0- 3.0 range. On the plus wide with the changes to bomber survivability it would be a tough nut to crack.

Wait, wasn’t it built in a civilian variant and flew like once before collapsing or something?

Was built in a bomber config with 8 7.62 machine guns and 3 20mm cannons and 14.6 tons of bombs. The first flight was August 11th 1933. On the 9th flight, the right tail boom snapped and the plane crashed, killing 15 people
