Description

GarageImage P.108B serie 1.jpg


The P.108B serie 1 is a Rank III Italian bomber with a battle rating of 3.7 (AB) and 3.3 (RB/SB). It was introduced in Update 1.69 "Regia Aeronautica".

The P.108B Serie 1 is a heavy bomber with a heavy bomb load and relatively weak defensive armament. When delivering the bombs to the targets, high altitudes are a must. The preferred targets of this bomber are stationary objects like pillboxes or slow moving vehicles such as ships (if you can time it well) and of course the bomb targets and airfields. Should an enemy fighter catch up with you, it is certain doom as your defensive guns have a low chance to kill it. To survive attacks, use your gunners to ward off the enemy aircraft until help comes. Stay away from combat as much as you can and do your job as a bomber.

Survivability and armour

  • 8 mm Steel - Cockpit armor - instrument panel, pilot's seat, co-pilot's seat and floor plate below pilot
  • 8 mm Steel - Armor plate protecting ammo located in wings
  • 8 mm Steel - Side gunner armored walls
  • 8 mm Steel - Ventral gunner position
  • Fuel tanks located in wings

Armaments

Suspended armament

Describe the aircraft's suspended armament: additional cannons under the wings, bombs, rockets, and torpedoes. This section is especially important for bombers and attackers. If there is no suspended weaponry remove this subsection.-->       Main article: Bombs

The P.108B serie 1 can be outfitted with the following ordinance:

  • 34 x 50 kg GP 50 bombs (1,700 kg total)
  • 34 x 100 kg GP 100 bombs (3.400 kg total)
  • 2 x 45 cm F200/450 torpedoes
  • 3 x 45 cm F200/450 torpedoes
  • 7 x 250 kg GP 250 bombs (1,250 kg total)
  • 7 x 500 kg GP 500 bombs (3,500 kg total)

Defensive armament

The P.108B serie 1 is defended by:

  • 1 x 12.7 mm Breda-SAFAT machine gun, nose turret (300 rpg)
  • 2 x 12.7 mm Breda-SAFAT machine gun, left wing turret (300 rpg = 600 total)
  • 2 x 12.7 mm Breda-SAFAT machine gun, right wing turret (300 rpg = 600 total)
  • 1 x 12.7 mm Breda-SAFAT machine gun, 2 x beam turret (400 rpg)
  • 1 x 12.7 mm Breda-SAFAT machine gun, ventral turret (450 rpg)

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • 2 turrets are placed on the distant engines allowing for more guns to face backward
  • Heavy payload available
  • One of two planes (the other being the P.108B Serie 2) in the game that can carry three torpedoes

Cons

  • Gunners are bunched together and easily knocked out
  • Turrets on the engines cannot face forwards
  • Poor manoeuverability and climb rate
  • Prone to fuel tank fire due to tremendous fuel load
  • Massive size
  • Relatively weak defensive firepower

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 big, take it to a separate article, taking a link to an article about the vehicle and adding a block "/ historical reference" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/Name-vehicles/historical reference) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to include links to sources at the end of the article.

Media

An excellent addition to the article will be video guides, as well as screenshots from the game and photos.

Read 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.
