Description
The PBM-1 "Mariner" is a rank I American bomber with a battle rating of 2.0 (AB/RB/SB). It was introduced in Update "Hot Tracks".
General info
Flight performance
The PBM-1 does not shine in flight performance as it has terrible climb rate and speed. This along with the low wing-loading makes it your average medium bomber without the perks of being able to outrun or out-climb your opponent.

Survivability and armour
- No armour
- Self-sealing fuel tanks (4 in front fuselage, 1 in each wingroot)
Modifications and economy
Armaments
Suspended armament
The PBM-1 "Mariner" can be outfitted with the following ordnance:
- 12 x 100 lb AN-M30A1 bombs (1,200 lb total)
- 6 x 250 lb AN-M57 bombs (1,500 lb total)
- 6 x 500 lb AN-M64A1 bombs (3,000 lb total)
- 2 x 1,000 lb AN-M65A1 bombs + 4 x 500 lb AN-M64A1 bombs (4,000 lb total)
- 4 x 1,000 lb AN-M65A1 bombs (4,000 lb total)
Defensive armament
The PBM-1 "Mariner" is defended by:
- 1 x 12.7 mm M2 Browning machine gun, nose turret (400 rpg)
- 1 x 12.7 mm M2 Browning machine gun, dorsal turret (400 rpg)
- 1 x 12.7 mm M2 Browning machine gun, 2 x beam turrets (375 rpg)
- 1 x 12.7 mm M2 Browning machine gun, tail turret (350 rpg)
Usage in battles
The PBM-1 should be played like its predecessors. Fly high and bomb bases. The PBM is however fairly slow and has a rather bad climb rate, so it will take time. The PBM can carry up to 4 x 1,000 lb bombs. It is advisable to carry this bombload for bombing bases. Even though you are slow, you are not defenceless. Your .50s will shred everything at your BR. Once your bombs are dropped it is advisable to land, but acting as a "gunship" can also be somewhat successful.

Pros and cons
Pros:
- Quite manoeuvrable for a bomber (can outturn many heavy fighters, and some single-engine fighters)
- Can carry a large payload for its BR (4,000 lbs)
- If aimed properly, and using the right belts, defensive armament is very deadly
- Defensive armament has great coverage
- Using WEP doesn't make engines overheat
Cons:
- Terrible survivability, thanks to the fact that it has no armour
- Gunners can easily be taken out, especially the tail gunner (no armour, and no bulletproof glass either)
- Vulnerable to attacks directly from below
- Slow aircraft with a poor climb rate
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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: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).
