Description

GarageImage MBR-2-M-34.jpg


The MBR-2-M-34 is a premium gift rank I Soviet bomber with a battle rating of 1.0 (AB/RB/SB). It was introduced during Update 1.57 "Battle March" and was obtainable during the 2016 "Chronicles of World War II" after completing 15 "Aircraft Tasks".

General info

Flight performance

Describe how the aircraft behaves in the air. Speed, manoeuvrability, acceleration and allowable loads - these are the most important characteristics of the vehicle.

Survivability and armour

Examine the survivability of the aircraft. Note how vulnerable the structure is and how secure the pilot is, whether the fuel tanks are armoured, etc. Describe the armour, if there is any, and also mention the vulnerability of other critical aircraft systems.

Armaments

Suspended armament

The MBR-2-M-34 can be outfitted with the following ordnance:

  • 8 x 50 kg FAB-50 bombs (400 kg total)
  • 2 x 100 kg FAB-100 bombs + 6 x 50 kg FAB-50 bombs (500 kg total)
  • 4 x 100 kg FAB-100 bombs (400 kg total)
  • 2 x 250 kg FAB-250M43 bombs (500 kg total)

Defensive armament

Main article: ShKAS (7.62 mm)

The MBR-2-M-34 is defended by:

  • 1 x 7.62 mm ShKAS machine gun, nose turret (1,000 rpg)
  • 1 x 7.62 mm ShKAS machine gun, dorsal turret (1,500 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:

  • Surprisingly manoeuvrable, especially with its combat flaps
  • Ability to land on water (Rivers, lakes, oceans and so on.)
  • Purchasable winter camo helps to hide in snowy maps
  • Decent amount of ammunition for gunners

Cons:

  • No armour protection for crew or critical components
  • Large unprotected non-self sealing fuel tanks
  • Large exposed top mounted engine
  • Engine limits the targeting angles of the gunners
  • Very vulnerable from attacks coming from below

History

The MBR-2 was a Soviet multi-purpose (including reconnaissance) flying boat. It entered service in the Soviet Navy in 1935 and 1,365 were built, in 6 versions. Some were used by foreign countries, including Finland and North Korea. In the Soviet Union, it sometimes carried the nickname of "Kорова" (cow) and "Амбар" (barn). After the Second World war, the plane was used to watch over fishing areas.

It saw extensive service during the Soviet-Finnish winter war between 1939 and 1940, and against Germany from June 1941. It demonstrated reliability and robustness throughout these conflicts. Several MBR-2s returned safely to missions after receiving enemy fire. The MBR-2 was able to be equipped with wheels or skis, thus adapting to many areas of operation. Faced with the shortage of aircraft in flight, its armament was adopted in June 1941 by the Soviet authorities to carry out night bombardments, then diurnal. It's very slow speed made it very useful for submarine hunting.

The in-game MBR-2 is the MBR-2bis (also known as MBR-2AM-34). It was developed in 1935 as an improved version, powered by the Mikulin AM-34N engine, and fitted with an enclosed cockpit, a dorsal gun-turret and enlarged vertical tail. The machine remained in production until 1941 with this configuration.
