ted makes some great points.  I love AR234 and fly it often, but I agree 100% that is it limited in its effective application--the payload it carries makes great for dar killin, town softening, scouting, and GV bombing....which takes practice and some luck to hit GVs with the AR234.

I use to use flights of 3 x Ar234's to hunt CV's with, but I found I prefer to use the Ki-67's in that role, as well as killing DAR, or Ord, at several fields.   Only time I have lifted Ar234's in the last 6 months was to try and get back a CV for a port we held, but the other team had hidden well behind the lines before we retook that port.

I prefer the JU-88 for CV hunting, I have not had much luck using the AR234 for that, other than giving the 5 inch gunner some target practice

olds  after discussing the ar234 drop with LYNX he gave me some pointers and now I can kill it from any angle everytime.


Bear69 used to do it alot and it always impressed me how he could nail it everytime going so fast.

It didnt take much practice.  The only way a CV could possibly survive is if the guy in the ship turned it at the right time and you didnt have time to re-adjust.  Most of the time they do it way too late because they dont see you and you've already dropped before any 5 incher gives gets close.

I would say an Ar234 drop for me is easier than level bombing it with lancs.  Just takes too much time to get alt and way more cumbersome.
