Survivability and armour
- 8.5 mm Steel plates behind the pilot.
- 8.5 mm Steel plates in front of dorsal gunner.
- 5 mm Steel plate under ventral gunner.
- 8.5 mm Steel plate in front of ventral gunner.
Armaments
Suspended armament
The Do 217 K-1 can be outfitted with the following ordnance:
- 4 x 250 kg SC250JA bombs
- 28x 50 kg SC50JA bombs
- 8 x 250 kg SC250JA bombs
- 2 x 250 kg SC250JA bombs + 2 x 500 kg SC500K bombs
- 4 x 500 kg SC500K bombs
- 2 x 1000 kg SC1000L2 bombs
- 4 x 1000 kg SC1000L2 bombs
- 2 x 936 kg F5W torpedoes
Defensive armament
The Do 217 K-1 is defended by:
- 1 x 13 mm MG 131 machine gun, dorsal turret (500 rpg)
- 1 x 13 mm MG 131 machine gun, ventral turret (1,000 rpg)
- 2 x 7.92 mm MG 81 machine gun, nose turret (500 rpg = 1,000 total)
- 1 x 7.92 mm MG 81 machine gun, 2 x beam turret (750 rpg = 1,500 total)
Usage in battles
Describe the tactics of playing in an aircraft, the features of using vehicles in a team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but instead, give the reader food for thought. Examine the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).

Pros and cons
Pros:
- Can perform both level and dive bomber effectively
- Defensive armament is often underestimated by foes
- Amazing maximum payload of 4,000 kg
- Very easy to fly and to land
- Can carry torpedoes
- Good energy retention
- Fast landing gear deployment
- Fast aircraft, becomes even faster with upgrades installed and with an empty payload
- Airframe can withstand high speed
- Maneuverable just like its heavy fighter variants
- Faster than the M model
- Can decimate enemy ground units in seconds when played in groups
- One of the few bombers that can effectively be played in tank RB matches
Cons:
- Defensive armament is unreliable and will not deter foes from attacking you
- Not very durable
- Carrying the 4,000 kg payload will add external pylons which will increase drag and reduce speed, flight performance, and climb rate
- Torpedoes cannot be launched at high speed which is its main strength
- Stock payload is terrible
- Only one pilot
- Lacks any offensive armament of the E variants
- Cramped cockpit and poor pilot protection
- Tail design creates blind spots to the already underwhelming defensive armaments
- Has a high potential of being a priority target
History
Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the aircraft in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/ History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===, also if applicable).
Media
Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
See also
Links to the articles on the War Thunder Wiki that you think will be useful for the reader, for example:
- reference to the series of the aircraft;
- links to approximate analogues of other nations and research trees.
External links
Paste links to sources and external resources, such as:
- topic on the official game forum;
- encyclopedia page on the aircraft;
- other literature.
