With NO bombs so you can stallfight in it while your gunners chew up fighters.

so people whine about dive bombing cvs in b17s 1k lancs

but everbody wants stall fighting B17s

:rolleyes:


sounds fun but killing a fully gunned B17 sounds like a nightmare

are bombers in here with 1 gunner do way better then a RL fully loaded B17

not talking coming in dead 6 im talking setup runs on a bomber


i would like it so i got 1 extra perk for ever gunner onboard 10 gunners 10 perks:D

i would like a reward for killing a flying battleship
known as Arctic in the main

We used to do that alot in RR.It was a blast to load one up and hit the spit factory.Had many many hours of fun shooting the bull on those runs.Maby its to much of a pain to implement,but I bet it would give the buff types a huge boost in help and even Escorts.
The Flying Circus.Were just like you.Only prettier.

exactly why some of us would like to see this happen.  think of the fun all those fighters would have trying to shoot down a fully-manned B-17. :cool:  and, the gunners...what a party.

I read the reply from HT in the previous thread and I think their reasons for not doing it are lame. I mean, we're the customers, and where I work, the customer is always right.

Let's take a vote!
