The armament and crew of the aircraft were similar to the Bristol Blenheim bomber: three crew, 1,000 lbs standard bomb load and two machine guns, although the Battle was a single-engine bomber with less horsepower. The Battle had a standard payload of four bombs which was carried in cells contained within the internal space of the wings. Maximum bomb load was , with two additional bombs on underwing racks or with two bombs carried externally under bomb bays and two bombs on underwing racks. The bombs were mounted on hydraulic jacks and were normally released via trap doors; during a dive bombing attack, they were lowered below the surface of the wing.
