Nope o dont think so.
Its more that AH isnt what it was in reality.
In AH we pull every G we can to evade regardless what will happen.
In reality its upon the Pilot how many G he can do and for what time.
Also we are sitting in front of a screen in a warm room with a beer or coffee beside the joystick.
WE can get the max out of our plane ALL the time.
Thats what real life pilots seldom did.
For the gunnery thing n the B17 i would say that the attacks was on the way home. The gunners where either dead or fighting damages inside the plane.
I dont think they shoot back in the film.
But if they shot back, a single B17 wasnt the worst problem for a fighter.
Image these boys sitting in minus 40 degrees celsius with thick gloves feared like hell and have to shot with 50 cal at a plane that pass by with allmost the double speed and shoting 20 or 30 mm bullets.
All we wannabes have not the little clue about through what hell these boys go.
We click the 1 holding the lazerpointer guns of our AH buffs on the fiter press the trigger and in 50% he makes boom after a 1 sec long burst
Its really funny we talking like we flying combat for years.
I bet every 1 would piss in his pants if he has to face a combat situation..
As for the P47 can some 1 tell the model ??
Its amazing to see it is not outturning easy the FW.
In AH u would have broken up allready to beginn to rope him.
In real life ( and this cant be porked) he was owned by that FW.
