<!--''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 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).''-->
 +
====Tactics====
 +
In AB the winning tactic is to climb high and do base bombing with 500’s “from orbit”; it helps to have escorts.
  
==Interface==
+
In RB you air start so you have the advantage to trade altitude for airspeed and bomb ground targets and retreat before ground starting enemy fighters arrive, however be close to friendlies to intercept chasers.

==Graphics==
+
====Counter-tactics====
* Changed the calculation of shadows, increased their effective resolution;
+
If you are attack a Wellington, focus on engines, they are relatively easy to start on fire. While you should not worry too much about the turret, do not hang around either, and dead six attack is still dangerous as the rain of 7.7 may cause an engine fire. As usual expect chance to not be allied with you.
* Added effect lens flare;
 
* Added effect of SSAO (approximate global illumination simulation technology) for quality settings;

+
The default bomb load is a meagre 10x 250lb (117 kg) so upgrading to 18x 250 or 9x 500 “pounders” (500lb (226 kg) should be task number one. in order: Unlock the Turret 7mm ammo first, then the TC mk.I (torpedo) rack, and then the LBC mk.I. Unlocking the 7mm ammo access “Universal” AP-I load as one works up to the bomb rack for 18x 250 or 9x 500. After that you can pursue your choice of upgrades.

* On the MiG-9, MiG-15 NS-37 cannon replaced by Guns N-37D;
 
  
==Changes in DM==
+
Upgrades to the turret should also be considered. The different belts do not have a considerable effect, but the upgraded turrets allow for a longer rate of fire. Very important for the small rifle calibre machine guns.

* Fixed a bug where some of the planes could continue a long flight with no visible damage in the presence of a fire.
 
  
==Other Changes==
+
However, speed and climb rate is also a necessity and the unlocks help the sluggish Wellington a lot. The decision should depend on the pilots flying style. When rushing in better armament will help in the retreat, but the better performance will aid even more to get to friendly zones.
* Error in  Do.217J and Do.217N1 planes description fixed (cannon ammo capacity was wrong)
 
* OS2U plane description error fixed
 
* Error that lead to random positioning of  aiming reticule in Historical Battles is fixed
 
  
==Changes in FM==
+
The sneaky approach on the other hand relies less on speed, but on surviving the random combat encounters. Turret upgrades are here the way to go.

Performance wise the Wellington was not notably remarkable, its strength lay on the inside. Devised by one of the greatest innovative thinkers in history, Sir Barnes Neville Wallis devised a geodesic (geodetic) structure resulting in an exceptionally strong airframe. Together with Reginald Kirshaw "Rex" Pierson they designed their record making “Vickers Wellesley” opening the way for the “Wellington” and larger “Warwick”. With high aspect ratio wing and spacious fuselage it proved capable of handling a myriad of missions including early airborne radar and robust enough enough to absorb severe damage and fly home. Although the bomb bay configuration limited bomb size its payload was slightly more than the Heinkel He-111H-3 and with greater range. It is also one of the first aircraft to have a powered turret in the extreme tail with a very wide arc; however it still was inadequate to defend itself against attacking fighters and early models lacked self sealing fuel tanks. Still, this aircraft was admired by crews and affectionately called “Wimpy” after Popeye’s hamburger loving friend and sidekick who's full name is J. Wellington Wimpy. Over 11,000 made it equipped many RAF squadrons including those comprised of foreign crews like the Polish (4 squadrons), New Zealand (No. 75), and Czech (No, 311) one of which was captured by Germans who used it for intelligence and training. “Viking”, a passenger transport variant, became the world's first pure jet transport prototype aircraft in 1948.

# Prices for buying new planes, modifications, specializations reduced
 
# Battle trophies introduced. This is an additional reward that may be received after battle in AB, HB, FRB.
 
# Chance of receiving a battle trophy depends on your performance in battle, time spent in the air and number of players in game session.
 
# After-battle calculation of damage dealt to a plane is changed, now more parameters are taken into account, thus making calculation significantly more precise.
 
# Repair costs for some planes increased. For certain planes repair costs were reduced.
 
# Rewards for actions in battle have not been changed, Which means that a plane with 100% reward ratio in new economy will receive the same reward as a plane with 100% reward ratio in old economy. Reward ratio changed for some planes, some increased, some reduced.

Survivability and armour

  • 9 mm Steel plate in the pilot's seat.
  • No armour glazing
  • Critical components located in the wings of aircraft (fuel, engine, controls)

Armaments

Suspended armament

Main article: Suspended armaments

The Wellington Mk X can be outfitted with the following ordinance"

  • 10 x G.P. 250 lb Mk.IV bombs
  • 18 x G.P. 250 lb Mk.IV bombs
  • 9 x G.P. 500 lb Mk.IV bombs
  • 6 x G.P. 250 lb Mk.IV bombs + 2 x 1,000 lb AN-M65A1 bombs
  • 2 x 18 inch Mark XII torpedoes
  • 1 x H.C. 4,000 lb Mk.II bomb

Defensive armament

The Wellington Mk X is defended by:

  • 2 x 7.7 mm Browning machine gun, nose turret (1,200 RPG = 2,400 total)
  • 2 x 7.7 mm Browning machine gun, tail turret (2,000 RPG = 4,000 total)
  • 1 x 7.7 mm Vickers K machine gun, 2 x beam turret (2,500 RPG = 5,000 total)

Usage in the battles

Tactics

In AB the winning tactic is to climb high and do base bombing with 500’s “from orbit”; it helps to have escorts.

In RB you air start so you have the advantage to trade altitude for airspeed and bomb ground targets and retreat before ground starting enemy fighters arrive, however be close to friendlies to intercept chasers.

Counter-tactics

If you are attack a Wellington, focus on engines, they are relatively easy to start on fire. While you should not worry too much about the turret, do not hang around either, and dead six attack is still dangerous as the rain of 7.7 may cause an engine fire. As usual expect chance to not be allied with you.

The default bomb load is a meagre 10x 250lb (117 kg) so upgrading to 18x 250 or 9x 500 “pounders” (500lb (226 kg) should be task number one. in order: Unlock the Turret 7mm ammo first, then the TC mk.I (torpedo) rack, and then the LBC mk.I. Unlocking the 7mm ammo access “Universal” AP-I load as one works up to the bomb rack for 18x 250 or 9x 500. After that you can pursue your choice of upgrades.

Upgrades to the turret should also be considered. The different belts do not have a considerable effect, but the upgraded turrets allow for a longer rate of fire. Very important for the small rifle calibre machine guns.

However, speed and climb rate is also a necessity and the unlocks help the sluggish Wellington a lot. The decision should depend on the pilots flying style. When rushing in better armament will help in the retreat, but the better performance will aid even more to get to friendly zones.

The sneaky approach on the other hand relies less on speed, but on surviving the random combat encounters. Turret upgrades are here the way to go.

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • Versatile payload options.
  • Air-frame itself is very durable.
  • Usable payload stock, and fairly average once upgraded.
  • Extreme horizontal firing arc on front and rear turret of just over 180 degrees.
  • Good gunner ammunition supply.

Cons:

  • Hopelessly outclassed by enemy fighters of similar rank.
  • Defensive turrets are easy to take out.
  • Defensive armament is poor.
  • Slow speed.
  • Bad climb rate, largly do to combination of heavy airframe with only average engines.
  • Lack of armor makes engines, crew, fuel tanks, etc noticeably vulnerable.
  • Control stiffening becomes a serious issue at air speeds over 450 km/h.

History

Performance wise the Wellington was not notably remarkable, its strength lay on the inside. Devised by one of the greatest innovative thinkers in history, Sir Barnes Neville Wallis devised a geodesic (geodetic) structure resulting in an exceptionally strong airframe. Together with Reginald Kirshaw "Rex" Pierson they designed their record making “Vickers Wellesley” opening the way for the “Wellington” and larger “Warwick”.
