Lucky Atttack on 2 B-26's?

Seems like an excellent intercept to me buddy  :)

veeeery nice indeed.


I mostly aim for the wings.

Also, i try to pass the bomber overhead, then roll over, dive down and attack in a steep 12 o clock attack.

This gives the gunner in the buff less chance and time to aim.
While you have better view of the situation.

But then again, attacking a b26 or a b17 is some difference of course.

Attacking a b26 from below is safe, but most b26 pilots know this and start doing evasives as soon as you are in range under their belly.

 When a bomber "pilot" is on, or close to, his bomb run sometimes this is as good as actually shooting him down. If you make them do multiple passes he also gets set up for multiple attacks by yourself or other friendlies.

yep GRUN.aim. that's exactly why i don't use the mgs when i'm flying a 109 against buffs.it actually makes it harder to shoot the buff down, because the mg's are hitting when the cannon rounds are dropping below target.
i usually start firing at about 6-500 yards with cannons  and at about 9-800 with .50's. it works for me anyways.K/D vs. buffs for the last 3 tours
