Based upon the civilian airliner Bloch M.B.160 already in service, the M.B.162 was intended to be a heavy bomber, designed by the Société des Avions Marcel Bloch, later known as Dassault Aviation after the end of WWII. The Bloch M.B.162, although based on a civilian airliner, shared very little with its unarmed counterpart, the most important changes to the design were the different wing configuration and, since it was meant for military usage, the main cargo bay was remodelled to fit bombs and other payloads. The aircraft was never used, since it was captured by Germany before it could enter service.

It was introduced in Update 1.73 "Vive la France". The M.B.162 is a very capable heavy bomber, considering the other indigenously designed bombers in the French tech tree. It works very similarly to the B-17, being relatively fast at high altitudes and carrying a large payload, enough to destroy a base in air battles or several ground targets, it can also be used in naval battles, but for this tasks, more agile torpedo and dive bombers work better. Its biggest issue however is the mediocre defensive armament, the 20 mm cannons only cover a small area, while the aircraft is also vulnerable to attacks from the entire frontal area, that lacks any sort of armament.
