General information

The Dornier Do 335 B-2 Pfeil (lit. "Arrow") was a dedicated "bomber destroyer" variant of the Do 335 fast bomber/attacker aircraft. In a further step to converting the Pfeil into an interceptor in accordance with the Emergency Fighter program, two examples of Do 335 was outfitted with two 20 mm MG151/20 autocannons in place of the 15 mm MG151/15 machine guns, along with a provision to carry two 300-liters drop tanks to extend its operation ranges. Little is known about its operational service other than it did not survive the war.

It was introduced in Update 1.57 "Battle March". The Do 335 B-2 can only be played as a ground attack or interceptor due to its sluggish handling. It is not advised to dogfight or even to evade pursuing enemy aircraft. However, it is normally able to deliver the first strike due to its incredible top speed in a dive.

Its three 30 mm and two 20 mm cannons are able to make short work of any enemy vehicle which may try to oppose this unique plane. Not only that, it is able to carry up to 1,000 kg of bombs. Its airframe is one of the strongest in the game. It is able to take hit after hit and can survive hard landings without too much critical damage. When the enemy is on your six o'clock, the rear engine is the most common part to be destroyed during that engagement. If the enemy is coming from the front they will very likely destroy the front engine or knock your pilot out. However, having one of the engines destroyed will not cause a large problem apart from a slower plane. Nevertheless, you should immediately disengage and return to base to repair.
