No the Wellington was a awesome plane with a geometrical body meaning it had no center or spine so when planes shot at it a piece would come out but the whole plane would be intact. It was pretty slow tough and had 7.7s (Horrible guns by them self) to defend its self.
This one is really good tho.
You know the real plane stunk in real life, right?
