The BTD-1 is a single engine dive bomber and torpedo bomber and can carry a very wide array of explosive ordinance. This plane can be used effectively against both ground and naval targets. "The Destroyer" can reload on either an aircraft carrier or an airfield. It can also be utilized as a bomber hunter, using the air spawn (on non-carrier maps) and it's twin 20mm cannons to shred stray bombers.

The BTD-1 Destroyer is a premium rank III American naval bomber with a battle rating of 3.7 (AB) and 4.0 (RB/SB). It was introduced in Update 1.33.

The BTD-1 is a single engine dive bomber and torpedo bomber and can carry a very wide array of explosive ordinance. This plane can be used effectively against both ground and naval targets. "The Destroyer" can reload on either an aircraft carrier or an airfield. It can also be utilized as a bomber hunter, using the air spawn (on non-carrier maps) and it's twin 20mm cannons to shred stray bombers.
