The S.O.4050 Vautour II was a French project with the intention of creating a capable multirole twin-engined aircraft that could be used as a frontline bomber, close air support, or as an all-weather interceptor. With different variants developed, each one to fulfil a separate task, the Vautour IIB was the bomber of the family. Compared to the previous Vautour IIA, this one added an additional crew member at the front of the aircraft in a transparent nose, tasked with acquiring the target to release the bombs. A total of 40 Vautour IIBs were built, with some being sold to Israel in 1960.

It was introduced in Update 1.73 "Vive la France". The S.O.4050 Vautour IIB acts as a bomber, as such, your main objective in air battles is to destroy enemy bases or destroy ground units to drain enemy tickets. Since it has a very good acceleration, it is one of the first to take off from the runway. When bombing, there are two main options: climbing to high altitudes and releasing the bombs from there works well but only in downtiers, since your lack of countermeasures makes it easy for enemy interceptors to attack you. The other option is rushing the enemy base, this works better and your acceleration makes it easier to be one of the first to reach the base, stay close to your team since you lack the agility or the countermeasures to avoid being hit by a missile or intercepted by a fighter.
