The ␗DB-3A is a rank II Chinese bomber with a battle rating of 2.7 (AB/RB/SB). It was introduced in Update 1.91 "Night Vision".

General info

Flight performance

Describe how the aircraft behaves in the air. Speed, manoeuvrability, acceleration and allowable loads - these are the most important characteristics of the vehicle.

Survivability and armour

  • 6 mm steel behind pilot
  • Self-sealing fuel tanks, with neutral gas pressurization system (2 in each wing)

Armaments

Main articles: FAB-50 (50 kg), FAB-100 (100 kg), FAB-250M43 (250 kg), FAB-500 (500 kg), FAB-1000 (1,000 kg)

The DB-3A (China) can be outfitted with the following ordnance:

  • 10 x 50 kg FAB-50 bombs (500 kg total)
  • 10 x 100 kg FAB-100 bombs (1,000 kg total)
  • 3 x 250 kg FAB-250M43 bombs (750 kg total)
  • 3 x 250 kg FAB-250M43 bombs + 10 x 100 kg FAB-100 bombs (1,750 kg total)
  • 3 x 500 kg FAB-500 bombs (1,500 kg total)
  • 1 x 500 kg FAB-500 bomb + 10 x 100 kg FAB-100 bombs (1,500 kg total)
  • 1 x 1,000 kg FAB-1000 bomb (1,000 kg total)
  • 1 x 1,000 kg FAB-1000 bomb + 6 x 100 kg FAB-100 bombs (1,600 kg total)
  • 1 x 1,000 kg FAB-1000 bomb + 2 x 500 kg FAB-500 bombs (2,000 kg total)

Defensive armament

Main article: ShKAS (7.62 mm)

The DB-3A (China) is defended by:

  • 1 x 7.62 mm ShKAS machine gun, nose turret (1,000 rpg)
  • 1 x 7.62 mm ShKAS machine gun, dorsal turret (1,000 rpg)
  • 1 x 7.62 mm ShKAS machine gun, ventral turret (500 rpg)

Usage in battles

Describe the tactics of playing in the aircraft, the features of using aircraft 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).

IV Engine injection Cover Der-19 1000

Pros and cons

Summarise and briefly evaluate the vehicle in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark its pros and cons in the bulleted list. Try not to use more than 6 points for each of the characteristics. Avoid using categorical definitions such as "bad", "good" and the like - use substitutions with softer forms such as "inadequate" and "effective".

Cons:

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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: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></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />. 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.
