I thought that this was for all the fighter pilots that lack the skill to fly bombers.

Could be! lol.  Wasn't thinking that way.  I blame Sunbat

[cobia38]

I wouldn't know about that, since some insist on calling a P-38 a bomber, I would say that I have exceptional skills in shooting down fighters in a bomber.   

ack-ack

 I was talking about Changeup silly, we all know you can handle a Bomber

Heh!  When I saw that "Heinkel 162 A2 / Arado E378 Mistel" graphic, my first reaction was that it was a joke with a mocked-up graphic.  Then I saw the actual picture.

[Arlo]

Germans got a thing for humping planes.

[Changeup]

 I was talking about Changeup silly, we all know you can handle a Bomber 

You've been handled in everything but that shtupid A20.  It's not a bomber anyway, its a bighter

  Just take off all of your clothes......and strap on your Helmet!  Why cant we just have V2s with cameras...to be controllable.

Why cant we just have V2s with cameras...to be controllable.

There was the Fritz X remote-controlled bomb, which was used in the Sicily/Italy campaign (1943).  Several ships were wrecked or sunk:
-- battleship Roma sunk (flagship of Italian fleet)
-- battleship Italia damaged
-- light cruiser HMS Uganda severely damaged
-- light cruiser USS Savannah severely damaged
-- battleship HMS Warspite severely damaged

It was dropped from a bomber and then guided to target by the bombardier who had a joystick.
