305:; Ciołkosz himself proposed producing a bomber derivative of his airliner project. This derivative attracted favourable attention not only from industry but also Polish Air Force officers; in late 1933, a special commission selected the design study for further investigation over several rival proposals. Accordingly, greater resources were promptly directed towards the project. As the detailed design took form, it became clear that the performance of the PZL.30 was unlikely to match that of a more advanced alternative medium bomber already in development at that time, the
340:. The manufacturer's trials were completed by mid-1936, after which the prototype was dispatched to conduct certification and utilisation trials. While these were reportedly trouble-free, the aircraft continue to demonstrate unimpressive performance throughout; it was praised for its spacious interior amongst other things. Despite the PZL.30's development having occurred within virtually the same timeframe as the PZL.37, the performance of the PZL.30 was noticeably inferior to its counterpart, being both slower and possessing a considerably smaller bomb load than the

employed, as the aircraft was LWS's only active project at the time and its cancellation would have had severe consequences for the company. To remedy the issue, the wing was redesigned with greater reinforcement, but this measure increased the aircraft's overall weight, which in turn meant that the LWS-6 had a smaller bomb load than expected while other performance areas were also hampered. The factory proposed to develop new steel construction wing, 300 kg lighter, but it was not implemented.

The rear gunner operated a semi-retractable upper dorsal turret armed with twin machine guns that elevated to a working position, along with a "trap" ventral position that operated in an identical manner. The bombload was intended to be primarily carried within an internal

The aircraft was designed to carry 1200 kg of bombs in the bomb bay (8 bombs 50 or 100 kg), under the fuselage (4 bombs 50 or 100 kg) and under wings (4 bombs 50 kg), but maximum take-off weight limited the load

As one part of several measures explored to improve the aircraft's performance, a modified prototype was produced that featured a double tail fin; it conducted an initial flight near the end of 1937.
