Title: bomber armor
Post by: bagrat on August 07, 2006, 10:02:37 PM

does anyone else think bombers should be able to take way more rounds,
i mean whenever u see old guncam footage u never see a bomber lose a wing to a half second burst of 20mm.

much less take out 2 bombers with a single strafe run of .50 cals

Head shots to the pilot can kill all three in one pass. I do it regularly.

I have also never seen a B-26 dive bomb a bunch of MBTs, kill 2, destroy 2 hangars and some gun emplacements, shoot down a formation of enemy heavy bombers, and fly home.

I do, however, know that it can be done in AH. :t  I'm not thinking bombers are all that weak.

Funny, I never seem to see that in AH either . . . at least, not while I am shooting :(

Heck, lately I have seen Lancs and B24s take multiple hits from the 37mm manned ack and fly away . . .:cry
