Usage in battles
The G.P. 1,000lb Mk.I bomb is one of the most powerful bombs you will get to use before you research aircraft such as the Wellington Mk. Ic with its H.C. 4,000 lb Mk.II bomb. The Mk.1 is an all-rounder, well suited for pretty much everything except from hitting moving targets from high altitudes, like most bombs. The bomb is quite powerful and should only really be used against bases or clustered targets, targets such as light pillboxes and lone AAA should be avoided if possible.
Pros and cons
Summarize and briefly evaluate the weaponry in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark pros and cons as a list.
Pros:
- One of the best bombs avaiable at low tiers
- Decently powerful
- Devastating if used in sufficient numbers for carpet bombing
Cons:
- Not many low tiered planes carry more than 2 of these, with the exception being the Hampden
