What do you think about white flag+deack by a single set of american bombers by hitting the town with bombs and dropping to the deck to deack?

It's by far the most efficient way to prep a base capture. I can usually get it all done in under 3 minutes. On good drops with the right line up you can WF and drop VH with bombs with 17s or 24s. 

Does anyone want to learn how to do this via a video posted on youtube?

Sure, Ill watch it. What load out do you take?

Sure, Ill watch it. What load out do you take?

B17's - only 12 500lb load out. 9 on town and has to be perfect, 3 on vh, then deck and cleanup buildings if not white flag after drops.

B24's - 4 2k bombs. 3 to 4 bombs on twn depending on line up. If able to af with 3 use last salvo for VH or a gv. Deck with guns.
Or
8 1k bombs. 6 on town 2 on VH deck with guns.


Of course the lancs do it best. They also have poor gun coverage and are inferior to the American bombers in all but payload.

With these load outs come specific passes on town to work. For example, to WF a town with 3 2k bombs in 1 pass you must approach town with the dog leg to the left. On standard town layouts (SW/NE) you must approach towns from the NE.

With the B17 12x500lb load out one must come at a totally different angle for maximum coverage of splash and it requires 2 passes. This specific attack should leave 3 bombs remaining for VH and/or 1 Gv to bomb but I usually dump all 3 on VH.

With any load out it's all about achieving maximum splash damage to town buildings with the least amount of bombs possible. From time to time it's not going to work. Approach and timing must be perfect. When this is achieved the results can be quite rewarding.

Three minutes suggest there is a bit of game problem with how the bombers can hold in formation in very tight turns.  Still <S> to you for being able tto do that in three minutes.

let me explain how it works!

Drones will drift away from you in a turn when the nose is level. The rate of drifting away increases when the nose is pointed down. That rate will also increase based on the lead planes airspeed.

The opposite effect applies when the nose is pointed upward and the lead plane gains altitude. The drones will drift towards their default position. I have mastered maintaining drones working with the way the game is coded.

In regards to white flag/deck in 3 minutes using american bombers trust me Randy1, no one is achieving that bombing at 10k or higher doing 235-260 indicated. The only way I achieve it is by bombing under 8k which exposes me to auto-ack. I take a lot of hits and pay for it everytime in some cases with a PW. My ideal run is 6000' above the town WF 1 pass at 180 indicated. After my last drop I immediately will dive to pick up as much speed as possible and get low. The speed gets you out of the ack quick but now you have to baby sit the drones. Cutting throttle then using the yoyo technique to maintain drones allows me to go fast, slow down quick, 180 turn with gear and full flaps which makes the drones behave differently, then come in at 145 indicated for 1 pass deck.

That's how I do it in 3 minutes.

Here is a great example of how it is done. I dont get it done in 3 minutes because Shane rudely interrupted me but this clip is the jest of it. I WF with 3 2k bombs, deck, then blind drop on VH with last salvo then gun the radar. When I made the video I thought I thought I messed up having destroyed only 7 guns. A gun was already down before I attacked. I counted 7 and thought I missed the 8th.

Thanks for the info  mERv, 
I always wonder how some players can do that, but I never get there...
Will usethose tips next time...
