The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a Rank {{Specs|rank}} British light bomber {{Battle-rating|5}}. It has been in the game since the start of the Open Beta Test prior to Update 1.29. Though the plane is in the British tech tree, it is painted with Australian markings.
 +

The Beaufort Mk VIII is a superb low level bomber. For a bomber it's fast and agile and it has a great rear armament for its rank (the twin rear .50s can be more powerful than the Lancaster's 4 x .303s!). It is able to do very good low level bombing runs. With its 4 x 250 lb or 2 x 500 lb, it is easily able to destroy light, medium and heavy tanks. The Beaufort is also able to take a few hits, making it a great bomber to start the British line.
 +
 
 +
The best thing to do with this bomber is to put it in a shallow dive after you spawn in and head for where you want to bomb (be careful when diving, the plane locks up at high speed). Get low to the ground, as your rear turret does not provide cover for below the plane. Once you have dropped your bombs, you have a decision to make. You can re-arm and go for another bombing run (or just wait if you are playing arcade), or go fighter hunting with your tail gunner.
 +
 
 +
Overall, this is a great low rank bomber and easily able to turn the tide of any battle.

The Beaufort's twin rear .50 cals tear everything up at this rank. Try to avoid head-ons, as your pilots are prone to being wounded behind that large glass window. If you get a enemy fighter to stay on your tail at wing level, your gunner will show no mercy!

When engaging bombers, try to come below them and pepper them with your tail gunner. Flying in front of them and aiming for the enemy bombers pilot is also effective.

Be mindful of these things too; watch out for players diving on you, as they can easily kill your tail gunner from above. Also watch out for rockets, even a B-17 can't take a rocket hit! Plus some of the American planes ([[F2A-3_Buffalo|F2A]], [[F4F-3_Wildcat|F4F]]) are armed with four or more .50s, try to avoid these as their ammunition count is very large and they are easily able to critically damage a Beaufort.

The Beaufort design process began in 1935, when Great Britain’s Air Ministry formulated the M.15/35 and G.24/35 specifications for the development of a torpedo bomber and a general reconnaissance aircraft/bomber, respectively. While working on these aircraft designs Bristol proposed one aircraft, manufactured in two different variants, for both of these specifications. After submitting two separate designs to the Air Ministry, the favoured design was selected and named the Beaufort.
 +
 
 +
The Beaufort was based on the Blenheim light bomber, from which were borrowed the designs of the wing, tail unit, and landing gear. To increase the bomb bay’s size to carry a torpedo, the cockpit’s floor was raised. Nevertheless, the torpedo did not fully fit in the bomb bay and had to be partially suspended.
 +
 
 +
Bristol was commissioned in August 1936 to produce 78 Beauforts, before the first prototype had even flown. Teething problems with the prototype resulted in a number of design modifications, and the first aircraft did not enter service until January 1940.
 +
 
 +
In 1940, production of the Beaufort began in Australia. Due to the fact that the Australian government was not confident in an uninterrupted supply of Taurus engines, it was decided that the Twin Wasp engine would be used instead. In addition, the Australians expanded the tail fin to increase stability.
 +
 
 +
The last Australian modification, the Beaufort Mk VIII, used 1200 hp engines and had an ASV Mk II radar. It also had additional wing-mounted fuel tanks.
 +
 
 +
This modification made up 520 of the 700 Beauforts built in Australia in addition to the 1180 aircraft built in Britain until production ceased in November 1944.

GarageImage Beaufort Mk VIII.jpg


The Beaufort Mk VIII is a Rank I British light bomber with a battle rating of 1.3 (AB), 1.7 (RB), and 2.0 (SB). It has been in the game since the start of the Open Beta Test prior to Update 1.29. Though the plane is in the British tech tree, it is painted with Australian markings.

The Beaufort Mk VIII is a superb low level bomber. For a bomber it's fast and agile and it has a great rear armament for its rank (the twin rear .50s can be more powerful than the Lancaster's 4 x .303s!). It is able to do very good low level bombing runs. With its 4 x 250 lb or 2 x 500 lb, it is easily able to destroy light, medium and heavy tanks. The Beaufort is also able to take a few hits, making it a great bomber to start the British line.

The best thing to do with this bomber is to put it in a shallow dive after you spawn in and head for where you want to bomb (be careful when diving, the plane locks up at high speed). Get low to the ground, as your rear turret does not provide cover for below the plane. Once you have dropped your bombs, you have a decision to make. You can re-arm and go for another bombing run (or just wait if you are playing arcade), or go fighter hunting with your tail gunner.

Overall, this is a great low rank bomber and easily able to turn the tide of any battle.

The Beaufort Mk VIII can be outfitted with the following ordinance:

  • 4 x G.P 250 lb Mk.IV bombs (1,000 lb total)
  • 1 x 690 kg 18 inch Mark XII torpedo
  • 2 x G.P 500 lb Mk.IV bombs (1,000 lb total)

Defensive armament

Main articles: Browning M2 (12.7 mm), Browning .303 (7.7 mm)

The Beaufort Mk VIII is defended by:

  • 2 x 12.7 mm Browning M2 machine gun, dorsal turret (600 rpg = 1,200 total)
  • 2 x 7.7 mm Browning .303 machine gun, nose turret (1,150 rpg = 2,300 total)

Usage in the battles

When engaging fighters (Yak-7, Bf 109E, Spitfire, P-36, A5M ect.) try to force them onto your tail. The Beaufort's twin rear .50 cals tear everything up at this rank. Try to avoid head-ons, as your pilots are prone to being wounded behind that large glass window. If you get a enemy fighter to stay on your tail at wing level, your gunner will show no mercy!

When engaging bombers, try to come below them and pepper them with your tail gunner. Flying in front of them and aiming for the enemy bombers pilot is also effective.

Be mindful of these things too; watch out for players diving on you, as they can easily kill your tail gunner from above. Also watch out for rockets, even a B-17 can't take a rocket hit! Plus some of the American planes (F2A, F4F) are armed with four or more .50s, try to avoid these as their ammunition count is very large and they are easily able to critically damage a Beaufort.

History

The Beaufort design process began in 1935, when Great Britain’s Air Ministry formulated the M.15/35 and G.24/35 specifications for the development of a torpedo bomber and a general reconnaissance aircraft/bomber, respectively. While working on these aircraft designs Bristol proposed one aircraft, manufactured in two different variants, for both of these specifications. After submitting two separate designs to the Air Ministry, the favoured design was selected and named the Beaufort.

The Beaufort was based on the Blenheim light bomber, from which were borrowed the designs of the wing, tail unit, and landing gear. To increase the bomb bay’s size to carry a torpedo, the cockpit’s floor was raised. Nevertheless, the torpedo did not fully fit in the bomb bay and had to be partially suspended.

Bristol was commissioned in August 1936 to produce 78 Beauforts, before the first prototype had even flown. Teething problems with the prototype resulted in a number of design modifications, and the first aircraft did not enter service until January 1940.

In 1940, production of the Beaufort began in Australia. Due to the fact that the Australian government was not confident in an uninterrupted supply of Taurus engines, it was decided that the Twin Wasp engine would be used instead. In addition, the Australians expanded the tail fin to increase stability.

The last Australian modification, the Beaufort Mk VIII, used 1200 hp engines and had an ASV Mk II radar. It also had additional wing-mounted fuel tanks.

This modification made up 520 of the 700 Beauforts built in Australia in addition to the 1180 aircraft built in Britain until production ceased in November 1944.
