Nah!

I have a feeling the 24 will be my main plane.  Try it before you stay with that 26 greyghost. :)

Can't wait for the B24. Gigantic target with less field of vision for gunners. Polishing up the 190A8 as we speak :D

Hehe Rafe, you're on! :)

JB, I will look forward to that A8 with my extra .50 cal and smaller target.   The 24 has a thinner structure to it than the 17.

its reassuring to know that someone else in this game has discovered that the A8 is the ultimate interceptor.  Sometimes I think I am the only one.

Like they wouldnt use a Luftwaffe bomber the same way.. :rolleyes:

There are those who divebomb in heavies, for no reason I can think of.  Then, there are those who enjoy climbing out, riding to a target, calibrating, and watching exactly what you wanted to hit go up in flames.  There are some things that you can't control, and unfortunately (as for now anyways) this is one of them.

I use the Ju88 exclusively as a Dive Bomber.

Thats what its Dive Brakes are for...
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

I meant a new one, such as the HE-111.

I have problems hitting a target in a divebombing heavy.  Maybe Im the only one.
