Looking for a REAL bomber squad

[SNIPER30]

You should have to look no further THE DICKWEEDS are a great bunch of guys .When my squad flew bish we would escort these guys,they filll the air with bombers,keep tight formations and go to alt on every occasion.This is a GREAT SQUAD

A real bomber group? Guess we're disqualified, we're a bunch of fakes.

The 80th flies bombers. Just last night there was 9 of us up in our B-38s.

Enough to make some folks think S.A.P.P. was active.

Bomber Squadrons are a start. Hell Precision started as such, unfortuantley you get better at other things. You adapt and get better. Bottom line is there are many very good bombers, and the best ones in the game will come in 14k and knock your Large airfield down with 2 17's. Approach angles and a good plan is more key. 30K bomber is a pain in the arse, if you do it, there wont be alot of resistance, dont get bored.

there was 5 of us flying along stalking a 6 formations of B17s the other week at 25k, as we moved in just out of there guns range, they were 1k away, they had all closed in the formation nice and tight, and made it pretty difficult for us attackers to some of them out, but whizzing around them just out of gun range to get a good run of them must have been fun for the b17s...well..or neverous, I made some good dives on them, a few hits but I did not create any damage...then on another pass a stray bullet gave me an oil leak.

but it was a great moment, Its just a shame its so damn hard attacking a bomber group when they are all close and tight

You need a few pointers..... starting with do not rush

[Threeup]

You're so correct 4Deck
You have to strike a balance between coming in low enough to attract something up for a bit of a fight and high enough to get the job done.
30K plus miisions are good in that they drive the interceptors nuts trying to get at you, but there is a limit.
I think we (the 100th)  spend a fair amount of time in fighters as well to break the pattern.
Buffs are great, but like ice cream there's only so much you can eat.

I don't run an exclusive bomber squad, but look for me & the BOPs to throw something together complete with escorts Friday nights and here & there on weekends. Missions are posted for Bish to join. I love B17's. Just be patient while in the mission. It is preferable to see a mission succeed from take-off, to target, to returning home, with a good firefight at some point in the show.

but I'm a little curious about Dickweeds..... umm.. how do I put this... "rank structure"

We do have a CO, an EX. O, and an ops officer but trust me, there is no saluting or "Sir" calling.  It is basically so someone makes sure squad nights go as smooth as possible. We do have target and formation assignments and these are the guys to make the assignment.  We don't just want to bomb anything, we want to make sure everyone has a target, and every target gets hit.

The Trainers are just the designated people we wing up with new guys in the game.  If you can bomb and hit a target, no prob, you are definitely on your own, but if you are new to the game and not sure about calibrating, autoclimb, or radios and stuff we have someone there to help.

Trust me, (Ex Army guy here) no formations, Sir calling or burdening rules.

Dickweed HBG (Bish) are very good, probably the best formation's ive seen when we have escorted thier B17 missions

Suggest you also look into joining special events and get with a bomber group, those missions tend to be a bit more organized
then your typical Main arena bomber missions
