Which fighter is best for killing heavy bombers?

[BaldEagl]

the yak 9t it makes bombers run away with its 37mm

Bombers can run away?

[Ack-Ack]

As has been said already in this thread, the real question shouldn't be what plane is best but rather what tactics are best.  You can have a plane with a 155mm howitzer and still not bring down a bomber if you're using bad tactics.

virtually any aircraft in our inventory can kill a bomber. you only need to learn tactics, as others have said.

search out nb, nkl5, lusche, murdr, serenity, and i think it was helbent that wiperd me out in lancs once in his p38.......

if they have the time and willingness to teach ya, they're all good buff killers.

It's not that they can run away more not being botherd with a long chase over 10k due to the lack of performance over this alt. B17,B26 etc If the buff's take the time to get over 10k I usually let them be. Normally only bother with ones going for something strategic like a CV.

Lanc by far absorbs the most rounds unless you hit wing/tail, everything else goes down to two or three hits.

262= best, Its relativly easy to take out 2 or more of the bombers in a formation in 1 pass with some good gunnery. And lots of ammo.

152= great for the high alt stuff, fast and heavily armed, be weary of escorts.

109g14= My main ride in the mains so im used to the ballistics and can fight in it like nothing else.

p47 series= awsome for the low alt work, tons of ammo, great diver, decent fuel, high speed, and can hold its own once the bombers are gone.

Yep... pretty much sums it up. Even the average  lethality of the 6 .50's  can quickly bring down a bomber.

I bring down formation of lancs in a yak9u so anything is possible

P-38 is pretty good buff killer but as Saxman pointed out, all the firepower in the world won't matter if you use bad tactics.

Worth repeating.

One of the best buff killers in the game is a squad mate of mine & that is Challenge. He uses the 51d this is his choice of plane although that is irrelevant. It is the manner how he attacks them that makes him deadly. He will drop all three in a formation using about 40 rounds per plane & they will never get a hit on him. I am not going to tell you how he does it, but if you have been on the receiving end you will know how? Or at least left wondering how can I do that?

All of those qualities in one aircraft is impossible. The best interceptor is the Fw190A8, fairly fast with extremely heavy guns and no radiator to be damaged.

A8 fan too for buff hunting.  Tiff good too.  If you get saddled up on a bomber formation's 6, doesn't much matter what you fly.

This question has been bugging me for some time now, and i need a few experts who know which plane is maneuverable, strong armor, good armament and goes fast. It seems like every time i go on a p-51 at an altitude of 15k, i find an enemy bomber out of nowhere. Either im missing (not doubting it...), or .50 caliber rounds just won't do the job fast enough. I was able to kill the B-17G, but was left with 550 rounds or so. Anyone have a good plane able to blow a bomber in pieces? Don't say Hurricane, i tried it, it has exceptional armor. I need something FAST, MANEUVERABLE, HEAVY ARMOR, and a good ARMAMENT!

Any ideas? Im new, so hey hows it going for you today?
