Title: Bomber guys, Ar 234's here for the taking
Post by: Brooke on March 06, 2012, 11:14:45 PM: Ar 234's still available in the upcoming "Winter Sky -- Death Ground" scenario (late-war tactical German slug fest).

Yes, but B-26's are not Ar 234's. An Ar 234 is the epitome of advanced technology. It is sleek and fast German technology. When flying an Ar 234, you can scoff condescendingly at B-26's. ;)

That picture reminds me of combat footage from planes attacking trains. They always seem to attack perpendicular to the target.
Seems like a no-brainer to come in following the length of the bridge for a way bigger chance of hitting it.

Until you factor in wind, then hitting broadside should be easier.

LOL, fun stuff back then. I haven't flown one in months.

No Deecon, work has me tied up pretty good so I doubt I'd have the time for all of the effort needed to be put in to lead a group again.

Post by: Spikes on March 11, 2012, 09:40:56 AM: As a walkon most likely. I'd love to lead them but I'm sure there isn't as much freedom in them as there was in TFB. Plus I won't get to draft my dream team of bomber pilots. :)
