Ar 234's still available in the upcoming "Winter Sky -- Death Ground" scenario (late-war tactical German slug fest).

Yes, but B-26's are not Ar 234's.  An Ar 234 is the epitome of advanced technology.  It is sleek and fast German technology.  When flying an Ar 234, you can scoff condescendingly at B-26's.  ;)

That picture reminds me of combat footage from planes attacking trains.  They always seem to attack perpendicular to the target.
Seems like a no-brainer to come in following the length of the bridge for a way bigger chance of hitting it.

Until you factor in wind, then hitting broadside should be easier.

I remember Spikes showing me how an Ar 234 can be flown.  Have pitty for the allies who encounter Spikes in an Ar 234! :)

LOL, fun stuff back then. I haven't flown one in months.

No Deecon, work has me tied up pretty good so I doubt I'd have the time for all of the effort needed to be put in to lead a group again.

But you will fly in this one, right?  Come on!  :aok

As a walkon most likely. I'd love to lead them but I'm sure there isn't as much freedom in them as there was in TFB. Plus I won't get to draft my dream team of bomber pilots. :)
