Title: Bostons and other Attack bombers
Post by: texasfighter on October 10, 2012, 08:50:02 AM

I tried out a Boston today just in case I'm recruited to fly it tonight for the Snapshot. I couldn't get the F6 function to work for the bombardier. Do we not have a bombardier on the A20 Boston? If so I take it that all bombing is dive bombing and no level bombing? Or am I missing something? Any tips on flying and fighting the Boston?

How about other Attack bombers?
Thanks,
Tex

The A-20 does not have a bombardier position.

The Boston III has.

Which one did you take? ;)

^This.   :D

A20 =/= Boston III

They are similar, but not the same.

For fun, up a Boston mission with pony escorts terminal alt 12k.  Watch the ponies fail to keep up.  Then when bombs gone, go F3 with Boston's and have a blast.  Stinky fast buffs.  Or, cry Havoc and let slip the dogs of war.
