engine controls on bombers
« on: August 25, 2005, 09:20:14 PM »
I know we can control individual engines and prop feathering --how about a little fire control on the engine thats burning? --i really hate losing a bomber when the wing or plane explodes because u cant pull an extinghisher  (dang it need spell check too)

You mean bombers can fly at high altitudes??

Wow I thought 10 K was the absolute max.

then again I have seen them higher once or twice

Right now I pretty much put a bomber on auto-pilot and clean the house until I am at the target. Making me manage the engines would be something interesting to do.

Heh yeah spending your time managing 4 engines for overheat, mixtures etc. while doing bombing run and controlling defensive armament under attack of enemies..

Sounds like fun - for a person with 8 hands.

Yes some of us do go Higher than 10K but your B24 will almost stop climbing when you get to 26500... :D
