You guys may be just what I'm looking for. I really enjoy the high altitude bombing. I like the Lancaster III for it's ord. load-out of 14 1,000 lb bombs. With the salvos set to 2 and delay to .05, you're guranteed 7 vh's per run. But I think the B-17's handling and climb rate more than make it a better bomber. It takes over 30 min. to reach 25k in a Lancaster with 25% fuel. That's too long for me, and I'm pretty patient. The B-17 has a much better chance to defend itself with all the guns it has.
I've been flying the B-17 now for the last 3 weeks and I think I'm going to stick with it. I'm flying with a mouse now, but should be receiving a stick in the mail any day now. My ID is Coogan. I fly in the Late War Blue Arena proudly as a Rook. I'd like to do some runs with you guys if that would be alright. I am almost always flying around out there, and will be checking this message board regularly.
I have my VOX set to channel 102. You can give me a shout anytime I'm online, or email me at dbrimm318@aol.com
I hope to see ya's out there...
Coogan
