General information

The Boston Mk I (Great Britain) is a premium gift British bomber. It has been in the game since the start of the Open Beta Test prior to Update 1.27. It was available for a limited time for the 2014 anniversary of the A-20 Havoc's first flight, later it appeared in the Warbonds shop as part of the trophy chest in September 2018 and currently is only available though the Marketplace.

The Boston Mk.1 is a very fast aircraft for its rank, this means that in a decent matchup it can often outrun most if not all the aircraft it faces in level flight. The Boston has got four 7.7 mm guns in the nose and two 7.7 mm in the top and bottom lower and upper of the rear fuselage.

Although the defensive armament may seem rather underwhelming, if it faces lower BR planes they can be more than adequate and can still be made to work against higher level planes. You should load a belt made up of either armour piercing or armour piercing incendiary rounds and aim for the engine of enemy plane(s) that are on your tail; this will likely do one of these things: 1) Destroy the enemy plane's engine 2) Set the enemy plane on fire 3) Knock out the plane's pilot (from shots that go astray).
