Does anybody really use this thing anymore?

Engines don't burn in AH. B-24's engines are not more suspectible to damage than those of the B-17. It's the fuel tank located there in the wings which burn.

This is true, but the B-24's inner wing tanks which are situated right next to the engines do light up quote easily.

I'm suprised the Ki67 gets so little use.

Great airplane. But many of the old bomber guys are gone. The HE-111 is a nice bomber as well. I had a ball in the last BOB event flying one.

I generally find Ki-67s are flown by very, very savvy buff pilots.

In the "defense of the Reich" Sturmgruppen always preferred to attack B24s instead of the B17s, on  isolated occasions, without fighter escort  one sturmgruppe could get 30-40 bombers in one go.

Heinz Knoke (flying 109g6r6) thought B24 had weak wings and crashed much faster than the Boeing.

Ok... guessing that using up the fuel in the wingtanks first is the best choice?

The question: is it in the game? If a fuel tank has fuel in it, is it more likely to burn? And the opposite, if a fuel tank is empty, less likely to catch fire?

I do not fly bombers an awful lot but would it be correct to say that B24's are far more susceptible to oil hits and engine outs than B17s?  I've always thought this to be true.

Hard to say, as most of the time I'm either on fire or lost a wing.  Wing tips on the 24 are oh-so-breakable vs the 17.  But I would lean towards the 24 suffering oil more often though.  That's one thing that stands out to me when I think about it.  Engine outs are bout the same-ish.

Recently my 17 has jinxed me and I'm starting to get more engine problems...  Who did this?

Yes!!!
