     Many of the bombers I go against are over 30,000 feet. alt advantage is problematic.    Much of the Axis  doctrine was to use frontal attacks.   U.S.N. training films from WW2. Have useable Insruction, but much is about teamwork.  "attack in pairs"  Jimmy Thatch hosted several and are worth watching.    check the success rate of those contributing to this forum  to judge how well a particular technique may be working.  Have a blast.   and maybe post some vids on  screenshots and films.

No, NKL5's Arado 234 is the most dangerous plane in the game.

The most dangerous plane in the game is not a bomber.

It is a fighter flown by a knowledgeable cartoon pilot.

I assume every plane I see to be dangerous until it proves to be otherwise.  Virtually speaking of course...

imo, attack aircraft are the most dangerous. they can fight other fighters, they can fight bombers, they can fight tanks, they can sink all but one or two boats, shoot up base guns. P47 can do all that and escort high alt too and friggin dominate high alt. i vote attack aircraft.

Please don't listen to my comrades....The best attack position for a B17 is slow and low from the "6".  Best not to begin firing before 200m out.  Best if you take the right plane for the job, like a SPD.

He and I have good duels.  APP75, 999000, and one other I can't recall are good opponents.  If I have altitude and speed I can get them.   But I have to be steep and fast.
