Zoney: i havent anything against that. It was about the bailing on first sight of resistance. B-17, B-24, B-26, B-29 and Ki-67 all have great defensive armament and are in no ay a turkey shoot for fighters.
We had 3 sets of B-26 on a medium level (14k) attack on an AAA factory, 4 fighters upped for us, 1 were shot down and the other 3 damaged for no bomber loss. Buff pilots must realize that they arent defenceless, and especially if they learn to fly together.
