Highest Damage in 1 Sortie in a Bomber?
« on: Today at 04:50:13 AM »
Just curious. What’s the most damage you’ve gotten or seen someone land in one sortie in a bomber? :headscratch: :)

I tried to look up a record, but couldn’t find anything.




<S> Everyone! Hope the holiday season brings much joy!  :)

My personal record was 76300 in a one sortie milkrun in Lancs years ago. Then I did one attempt later to break my own record, but got chased by fighters and messed up my calibration at the last drops, and only landed 65+k.

When you say "sortie" do you mean one real sortie or one AH3 sortie with unlimited rearms?

Back in the day I would take a single mossie with a 4k bomb and 2 500lbers. I would bomb a city, rearm, and bomb another city for a couple hours and rack up some ridiculous damage totals. I'm not sure if this is the "sortie" you're talking about or if you mean a single run with drones.

I remember a specific one where I got intercepted by 2 262s that appeared to not like me bringing milk to the babies. I climbed as high as I could and they were having problems getting up to me. I headed for a base near our strats (with 163s available) The 262s ended up chasing me for something like 6 sectors during which my fuel state became critical. I even shut down one engine in route. I don't remember the specifics but I know I was very close to the base but out of fuel when they got me. As soon as I died I grabbed a 163 and took off. One of the 262s was no longer there. I'm not sure if he was out of fuel or just didn't want to fly the 6 sectors back to base. I chased the other one down with my 163 and killed him in a brief fight. Was a bunch of fun.
