Yesterday many bish died at the hands of my B-17 Black Death Gunships. What made it so special was as follows:
My finest moment happened twice. The first was vSix0 in his PonyD. His first pass missed when i snap rolled forcing an overshoot. He did his regular vertical climb to drop. Now while most players would continue course and stay level i simply nosed down to gain E and timed his 2nd pass where as he began his drop I threw the B17 into the vertical by way of Shift-X. We found ourselves HO. With all forward guns blazing i smoked him at 800 out. He was forced to ram but caused no damage. I then drifted back down and caught my drone and carried on.
A second similar event occured the next sortie. Friendly 38 with 7 cons trailing his 6. I positioned myself to their 9 0clock in a shallow dive from7k drawing fighters off 1 by 1 wounding them or shooting them down. It shortly became 2vs2. 109g and La vs 38 and 2 B-17's. As the 38 broke the 109 and La both immediately climbed. I come up from below and once again threw mybird into the vertical using shift x. I found myself with a clear shot on the LA as he stalled in his climb renderring his controls useless. Time slowed down it seemed like as i tore into his plane at the apex of my climb. Shortly after the 109 got greedy and I smoked his plane as well allowing the 38 to clean up.
Was simply incredible to have both of us walk away from that situation facing incredible odds!
The B-17 is incredible under 25% fuel. Looking forward to perfecting these A-20/brewster hybrids this afternoon!

Last B-17 mission I flew in MA a couple years back, I took off with 25% fuel and 500 lb bombload. I was level at 5000 ft and entered darbar of enemy base. Calibrated for perfect runway lineup. Looking to get a fight started.
On approach, two enemy fighters were heading my way on climb out and afk. Used my chin turret and sent 2 players back to the tower. :devil
Now, I decided to bomb the runway on both ends and in the middle. 3 more victims including first 2 on second roll.
Dropped all my bombs, and heading due east and my luck was into the sun. I doved to the deck and raced back to friendly territory. 3 fighters on hot pursuit.
Put a call out for squaddies to assist. A couple were high and on the way.
With sun in front of me, I dispatched 2 more from tailgun. 3rd broke off.
Back into no mans land and heading for safety with no more threats. I let my swuaddies know I was clear and they diverted to where a fight was at.
Landed safely with 7 victories.
Was that a chest pumping situation? Not to me. That was being lucky, good with skills, and good timing. Some might call that gaming the game.
I just call it simply knowing the strengths and weaknesses of your aircraft and assuming your opponnet know's theirs.
:salute

Think it was a "finetime" for you to die yesterday in your over-modeled b-17 of garbage....
I can post a vid of it on youtube if you like...shows a 4 engine level bomber acting like a fighter and it catches on fire and dies like a fighter...
"finetime" to die...like I said...
you keep tryin that stuff and the vets of this game will call your bluff...
Apparently you havent ran into a 152 flown by zoney or a tempy flown by cmex...
I'll be hunting bombers again tonight...that junk you call legitimate play....gonna get ya killed...over and over and over... :bolt:
-
On the other hand easy to dog fight when u can jump around and shoot from any angle. Dont have to learn to maneuver then.

Now I understand what Earl was complaining about.
^ this! :rofl

This is why AH really should have the Romanian IAR-420 bomber-interceptor included.
While only a handful were fielded during the war, they were highly effective twin laser-cannon armed unicorns flown exclusively by vampires trained to counter the allied B-17 tactics of "snap rolls", formation warping and vertical attacks.
:rolleyes:

Zoney is 0-2 against my 17's in a 152 and i easily dispatched Belowk in his tempest and Hamrdown in an LA 2vs1 otherday. Hamr accused me of cheating and threw a big fit.

The dark side of the force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural :neener:

I really don't see how someone can be seriously trumpeting their own horn about how "skillful" they are by exploiting weaknesses in the bomber flight models.

How to shoot down FineTime's dancing lancs. Yes there's film.

Well first off sport, you may have noticed that I stay out of your threads and have for a long time. The reason is because you are nothing but a self serving little gamey twit that does not deserve my time.
Secondly, I have encountered you exactly one time while you were at 34k in B17's. While attacking you I was completely caught off guard because of your BS tactics you fly with and after you even PM'd me and told me how you had developed a method to ram apponents to defeat them and that is exactly what you did. If you want to count that as shooting me down, you go right ahead kid.
You're a joke, but you are not funny.
