I use full flaps + rudder skidding on landing 234s.  They will nose up on you, but you just have to gently bring em back down again.   Only quick way to burn up the E needed to get landings 100% of the time, in my experience. 

I get to 1500-2000' above the field at about 300-350 mph by the edge of the field's radar ring.  Keep it level on auto pilot until you hit 150 mph then ease the nose down.  Drop 1 notch of flaps and gear just before crossing the end of the runway and you'll stop almost immediately on touch down.  I've been flying the 234 almost exclusively as my main bomber ride for over a year now.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

The B model and later the C variants were fitted with a 20 mm and in the C3 had the 20's and a 30mm cannon. No kills were ever recorded to know the impact. In the Aces High with a Variant like the ones listed, it would be brutal on the Bombers.

IMO, I say no to those variants.

I wish we could get the forward firing 20mm gun pod of the night fighter.   :D

I think we should get the landing chute too. Only I think we should get a release option while in flight so we can release it into the windscreen of attacking fighter.  :D




just kidding

I think you'll have more luck using the 20mm's instead :D

Drag chute, yes....cool idea

Reduce the perk cost.  I rarely see these out flying.

If the skin and such are re-done, some detail would be nice (fan blade movement?).  It looks rather bland right now.
