B-17
« on: July 06, 2011, 12:39:41 PM »
To be honest, I say it was the best bomber of the war over germany... It was heavily armored and had a crap load of 50 cals. The game portraits it well also, it can take a beating. A wiseman once said B-17's Will get you home  :salute to all the buff tards! Proud to be one

Strong cases can be made for the Lancaster, B-26 and Mosquito as well.  The B-17 does not own the "best bomber" slot by any means.

you are a true bomb tard, doing nothing but bombing the field in the DA  :rofl


but for me, the list for heavy bombers goes


bombload:B29>Lanc>B24>B17.

armament:B29>B24>B17>Lanc.

Armor:B17>B29>Lanc>B24

survivability:B29>B17>B24>lanc.

(i based survivability off of all the atributes put together)

The B-17 has the two extra .50 cals in the nose. So it should be reversed between the B-17 and the B-24.

True but the b24 carries more ammo in the tail and nose than the 17. and Most fighters in AH shy away from attacking the front of a bomber. so the extra ammo in the b24's tail sways it ahead of the b17.

I find the Lancaster harder to kill than the B-24 due to the B-24's tendency to become a fireball after light hits to the wing root.

Ive witnessed your squad do it multiple times, theyve even stated they do it once or twice a week.  so no, im not bias, im making my accusations from observation.


and how can you call someone a "no life" for being on the same game you currently are on?  :headscratch: never really understood this philosophy.

So what just because my squad does it sometimes and for the past 4 weeks i have seen them not do it at all.Ive even seen them turn down a fun bomb raid, so you are biased and your a no life because you sit there making false accusations torwards people and jump them for having fun, all my squadies pay their 15 dollars just like you and I think they deserve to have fun with the game instead of playing it like you wish everyone would.

your wrong on so many accounts here.

1. Ive intercepted 2 of those little DA raids, which in 1 i shot down 2 bombers(you being one of them) and the other you were in it. was it not YOU who came on the forum posting a youtube vid about you bragging of your DA bombrun at 20k?

2. as stated above, im not making false accusations, ive seen you in the little DA raids twice, and you YOURSELF already posted evidence that you participate in them. so if im a no-life for making false accusations, does it make you a no-life for lying?

3. you pay your $15 yes, but certain arenas are set up for certain things and they are not without rules. one rule is that you DO not bomb the DA lake fields. i believe Hitech himself has stated this.
so no, you cant play however you wish. you can play however Hitech says you can play. seeing how its his game.

I order of ease of kill I say Lanc>24>26 and the 17 being the hardest..  Karnak, you just have to know where to hit a lanc and they fold like a paper airplane under a truck tire and their defensive armorment isn't as good as some of the others..  Last month I was 8 and 0 against lancs...  they's easy meat....  :x
