With a crew of 4, the MB.200 had a maximum speed of 178mph, a range of 621 miles, a service ceiling of 26,200 feet and could carry 1200kg of bombs. The Ilmavoimat Procurement Team evaluated the aircraft and considered it already obsolete. By this time, with a good three years of experience in aircraft evaluations and with the need to keep abreast of current designs and aircraft, the team probably had a better and broader knowledge than most other Air Forces of what was available and the potential of upcoming designs. This was particularly so as they were constantly evaluating aircraft and designs from manufacturers from every major country with the exception of the USSR and Japan, as well as smaller suppliers from neutral countries such as Fokker, Avia and Aero – and indeed, they also looked at Polish aircraft.
