Survivability and armour
- No armour
- Self-sealing fuel tanks (4 in front fuselage, 1 in each wingroot)
Modifications and economy
Armaments
Suspended armament
The PBM-1 "Mariner" can be outfitted with the following ordnance:
- 12 x 100 lb AN-M30A1 bombs (1,200 lb total)
- 6 x 250 lb AN-M57 bombs (1,500 lb total)
- 6 x 500 lb AN-M64A1 bombs (3,000 lb total)
- 2 x 1,000 lb AN-M65A1 bombs + 4 x 500 lb AN-M64A1 bombs (4,000 lb total)
- 4 x 1,000 lb AN-M65A1 bombs (4,000 lb total)
Defensive armament
The PBM-1 "Mariner" is defended by:
- 1 x 12.7 mm M2 Browning machine gun, nose turret (400 rpg)
- 1 x 12.7 mm M2 Browning machine gun, dorsal turret (400 rpg)
- 1 x 12.7 mm M2 Browning machine gun, 2 x beam turrets (375 rpg)
- 1 x 12.7 mm M2 Browning machine gun, tail turret (350 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).

Pros and cons
Pros:
- Quite manoeuvrable for a bomber (can outturn many heavy fighters, and some single-engine fighters)
- Can carry a large payload for its BR (4,000 lb!)
- If aimed properly, and using the right belts, defensive armament is very deadly
- Defensive armament has great coverage
Cons:
- Terrible survivability, thanks to the fact that it has no armour
- Gunners can easily be taken out, especially the tail gunner (no armour, and no bulletproof glass either)
- Vulnerable to attacks from directly below
- Not very fast
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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: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.
See 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.
External links
Paste links to sources and external resources, such as:
- topic on the official game forum;
- other literature.
