Description

The M.B.175T is a rank II French bomber with a battle rating of 3.0 (AB) and 3.3 (RB/SB). It was introduced in Update 1.83 "Masters of the Sea".

Although called a "bomber", with its hard-hitting armament of two 20mm MG 151/20 cannons, this plane should be used in a more aggressive role as an attacker, or even a bomber interceptor. The HVAR rockets and the MG 151/20s make it a perfect counter to the much-feared BV 238.

Usage in battles

Describe the tactics of playing in an aircraft, the features of using vehicles 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:

  • Has air brakes
  • Quite maneuverable for its size
  • 12 x HVAR rockets as basic payload
  • Rockets can do damage to the bases (around a quarter, for 12 HVARS)
  • Armed with two powerful 20 mm MG 151s with a large ammo pool for each
  • One 20 mm MG 151/20 defensive turret to easily deal with enemies in its shooting range

Cons:

  • MG 151/20 is mounted in the wings far off the fuselage, requires adjustment of convergence for accurate hits on enemy
  • Turret is only good for enemies above the aircraft; large blindside due to plane's twin rudders
  • Flaps have a rather low speed limit before they tear off
  • Gunner is unarmored and exposed
  • Would be a great naval aircraft, armed with 2 x 20 mms along with 12 x HVARS or a torpedo, but France does not have a navel tech tree (yet)
  • Slower than its predecessor, the M.B.174A-3 thanks to heavier defensive and offensive armament
  • Does not have a ventral gunner, unlike its predecessor, making it more vulnerable

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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/ History" (example: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.
