Author Topic: 3 bomber pass.... (Read 836 times)

The last time I remember getting all three bombers in one pass was back in AH1. I was in a CHOG from front left side pass and all three lancs blew up. Any one been doing any good killing all three bombers in one pass lately??

A couple of weeks ago I was flying my G14 and spotted 24's IB for our base...I took them on. I was coming from the side [Harder for him to hit me with his guns] little did I know he was AFK. I killed the left bomber...-turned rudder to the left- killed center bomber -turned rudder to the right- killed that bomber

I only had the 1 cannon [no wing cannons]

Just shot down 3 B17's in one pass in a BF-110 yesterday.

Did it 2 or 3 times last tour. It is very easy, particulary B26 and Lancs.

I got 3 lancs on 1 head on pass in a Mossie with a rocket salvo a few tours ago.

Skyrock, in AH1 it was easy. Hit bubbles were gi-normous back then. Hell 600d was "close range" for fighters, and you were still in mortal danger until you passed 1.2k from an enemy fighter on your six. A lot has changed since then (for the better)

Its weird for me. I can take a cannon armed plane and concentrate the fire at the wing root, and get nothing. Then I can take an f6f and hit it, and it blazes easily. Im just not consistant at it. So mainly now, if I even try to down a buff, ill try to come in from 12 and hose the cockpit. Ive never killed 3 though. 2 once or twice, never 3.

It used to be that if you poured lots of ammo into the cockpit of the lead buff and blew it up, the other two would pop as well. Someone once told me that this was because the buff pilot had been killed.

I haven't had this happen in months and months, it seems. As for three in one pass, I have managed it in a Chog, Tempest, A8 and P47 over the last few months, always from the side and always pouring fire into the first drone (sort of hiding behind it so the pilot in the main buff won't get a bead on me), then the main buff , then the second drone. Risky business, but it works every now and then.

what kind of angle,alt and speed are you coming in at if you don't mind me asking.

3 is a lot harder to do than two, but i've done it several times in the last few tours, usually while flying a 51 funnily enough. just getting quick kills on the cockpit from high 6 and having enough time to get them all in one pass, firing from 900 yards in to 100

i usually ram into one of them when i try though

I can do it in a 262 or 152, that's about it though and you have to get your angles just right or.... "SYSTEM: You have collided"
