What do you do with the Wellington GR Mark XIII?

[JohnDillworth]

Has these radar masts on top. Must be good for something. What do you folks use these for?

[BBfanboy]

Haven't got to late game to use them, but the database says they have an airborne radar but the bomb load is dialed back to 6 X 250 lb bombs.
I would use them on anti-shipping or ASW work to take advantage of the radar.

They were considering kamikaze attacks with proximity fuses. Not.

[CaptBeefheart]

I always figured they'd be best for ASW and naval search. No idea if they work well in those roles, though (meaning I haven't bothered to pay attention).

Cheers,

GR - means General Reconnaissance. Wellingtons, Liberators and other planes marked as GR were usually used for Naval Search/ASW or some other combat related General Recon work (not Photo).

[Leandros]

As the Mk.XIII was a Coastal Command version it should be particularly handy for ASW work. What the game does with
it is another matter.

They are excellent for search and ASW. I would not waste them in other operations.
