Hard to tell when making passes on the formation without proper situational awareness until the empty 17s light you up.  :rock

If you are using the wingman auto formation key, the B17's become flying flak wagons for the Lancasters.

Somewhat difficult to distinguish from a distance if they're tucked in properly tight.

Hey don't worry, A66 had medical insurance (i.e. Rooks winning da war, baby!)

That, and I managed to bump my personal flak 88 distance record up from 6,400 yards to 7,400 yards on this raid. Unfortunately, one lanc plucked from the sky didn't offset the hell-fury that shortly followed leading to the doom of my flak cannon.

That was a hell of a shot, man. Any pics of the hellfire and brimstone coming in?
