General information
The ROCAF received PB4Y-2s to replace the diminishing amount of B-24s in service. They saw active service well into the '50s over Mainland China, and multiple Liberators were shot down. One ROCAF Liberator was lost to a Burmese Hawker Sea Fury, and the aircraft was later phased out in the early '60s as they became obsolete.
Introduced in Update 1.91 "Night Vision", the PB4Y-2 (China), like many 4-engined bombers, is no exception to lacking any manoeuvrability and is incredibly slow. In level flight, the PB4Y struggles to hit 400 km/h (250 mph) so almost every fighter will be able to intercept you.
