Hard to tell when making passes on the formation without proper situational awareness until the empty 17s light you up. :rock

Because the big B-17 icon wouldn't be a hint ???

Somewhat difficult to distinguish from a distance if they're tucked in properly tight.

That, and I managed to bump my personal flak 88 distance record up from 6,400 yards to 7,400 yards on this raid. Unfortunately, one lanc plucked from the sky didn't offset the hell-fury that shortly followed leading to the doom of my flak cannon.
