Survivability and armour
The Do 17 E-1 does not have any armour. There are 2 fuel tanks, with 1 close to each wingroot.
Modifications and economy
Armaments
Offensive armament
The Do 17 E-1 is armed with:
- 1 x 7.92 mm MG 15 machine gun, nose-mounted (375 rpg)
Suspended armament
The Do 17 E-1 can be outfitted with the following ordnance:
- 10 x 50 kg SC50JA bombs (500 kg total)
- 2 x 250 kg SC250JA bombs (500 kg total)
Defensive armament
The Do 17 E-1 is defended by:
- 1 x 7.92 mm MG 15 machine gun, dorsal turret (750 rpg)
- 1 x 7.92 mm MG 15 machine gun, ventral turret (375 rpg)
Usage in battles
The Do 17 E-1 can be used in two distinct methods. The pilot can dive to low altitude to reach higher speeds and use the 10 x 50 kg bombs to eliminate ground targets or it can be used as a support bomber flying behind other heavy bombers and finishing bases. This approach is dangerous and less rewarding because you are slow as you climb and fighters can easily pick you off.
Bombers capable of attacking eg. B-25's or Ju 87's with MG or cannon pods can provide early threats and any climbing fighters will easily out turn you and pick off your engines or control surfaces.

Pros and cons
Pros:
- Does not frequently meet cannon or HMG armed fighters
- Decent payload for its rank
- Has a very short takeoff run
- Is one of the few German bombers with a machine gun armament
- Has great manoeuvrability, compared to other bombers of its rank
- Has both a dorsal and ventral gunner
Cons:
- Slow compared to other bombers, formations are difficult to maintain
- Big target
- Like most German bombers of its rank, lacks defence against any fighter
- Cannot fly with only one engine, it will be able to maintain speed and altitude only for a short time
- Light defensive armament can only protect from 4-8 o'clock high and vertically below
History
The history of the Do-17 E begins in 1933, when the Dornier begun developing a fast, twin engine aircraft, capable of fulfilling Lufthansa requirements for passanger aircraft. In 1936 testing of the first prototype capable of bombing, which received designation E, the plane was retired in 1945.
Usage in battles:
Hispany Civil War
September Campaign
Weird War (september 1939-may 1940)
French Campaign
Battle of Britain
Balkan Campaign
Operation "Barbarossa"
Media
Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
