Description

GarageImage Canberra B (I) Mk 6.jpg


The Canberra B (I) Mk 6 is a rank V British jet bomber with a battle rating of 9.0 (AB), 8.3 (RB), and 8.0 (SB). This aircraft was introduced in Update 1.45 "Steel Generals".

The Canberra B (I) Mk.6 is an interdiction model of the famous bomber, thus it is more suited for aggressive ground attack/interdiction roles by comparison to the B Mk.2 or B-57A models. Much like the B-57B, it retains its bomb carrying capabilities, but also features and impressive battery of armament consisting of 4 x 20 mm Hispano Mk V cannons. Not only this, but the B (I) Mk.6 has a 2000 round capacity for these cannons, making it a truly formidable attack aircraft and also allowing for air-to-air combat with other aircraft. Unlike the previous B Mk.2 model, due to the incursion of a gun pack to house the cannon armament, the B (I) 6 features wing mounted pylons to carry similar ordinance options to the previous model of Canberra. This makes the B (I) one of the most effective and versatile attack aircraft in game due to its ability to switch from conventional bombing, to ground attack and also interception.

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • High-speed attack aircraft
  • High cannon ammo capacity
  • Large bomb-carrying capabilities
  • Good agility

Cons:

  • No defensive armament
  • Large surface area
  • High speed makes it hard to bomb smaller targets such as tanks

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 If the historical reference turns out to be too big, take it to a separate article, taking a link to an article about the vehicle and adding a block "/ historical reference" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/Name-vehicles/historical reference) and add a link to it here using the main template.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.

In-game description

After the runaway success of the first English Electric Canberra variants, further development was an inevitability. A single Canberra B Mk.5 was constructed as a test bed of marrying the airframe with the new, more powerful Rolls-Royce Avon RA7 jet engines with a lengthened fuselage leading to a greater fuel capacity. Trials proved to be successful and the resulting Canberra B Mk.6 entered service with the RAF in 1954.

The B Mk.6 was some 10 mph faster and also saw a range increase from approximately 2600 miles to just under 3400 miles, significantly improving flexibility of operations for RAF Bomber Command.

The B Mk.6 also spawned the development of the interim B(I) Mk.6, which added a ventral pack containing four 20 mm Hispano cannon and an additional two hard points on the wings for external stores. It also included the Low Altitude Bombing System for the release of nuclear weapons in a climb from low altitude. The Canberra saw service with both the RAF, RNZAF and RAAF during the Malayan Emergency. RAF Canberra B Mk.6’s also served alongside the earlier B Mk.2 and Photographic Reconnaissance variants during the Suez Crisis in 1956.

Whilst the Canberra was phased out of service as an RAF front line bomber in the early 1960s it continued to be used for a staggering 50 years in other roles, particularly photographic reconnaissance, and even flew operationally in the 1991 Gulf War. It finally retired from service with the RAF in June 2006. The Canberra saw great success across a number of variants and was exporting to many countries such as Australia, the United States, France, India, New Zealand, Chile, Argentina, West Germany, Venezuela, Sweden, South Africa, Rhodesia, Zimbabwe, Peru, Ecuador and Ethiopia.
