How to attack Autopilot Wingman Mode Bomber Formations

[wpeters]

One thing is that fighter pilots forget is to successfully live through a large engagement with bombers is to have 3 or more planes attack the bomber formation at the same time. Preferably  4 flight elements.  2 elements attacking from a high four and eight o'clock and two attacking from low four and eight positions. This means the bombers SA will deteriorate at a rapid speed. Radio chatter will be over run with many call and gunners will be confused on whom to fire. Ultimately what this means is you will have 2 fighters attacking from the high 8 and 2 fighters attacking from the low eight etc with the 4 o'clock position. Fighters should achieve at least 350mph for blow through of formation. Also attack should be timed for max SA degeneration. No lone wolf should try this. There is a reason that wolves live in packs same here   Also the fighters preferably should have cannons for weapon thought p47 are all right.   

Remember there are old pilots and bold pilots but NO OLD BOLD pilots

Plenty of old and bald pilots though.

Ummmmm, maybe in Real Life, but here in Aces High it only takes one pilot.  He needs 3 things, position, gunnery and patience.  The last one the most important one.  Slashing attacks, reset, attack again, reset.  It is always my goal to kill the bombers with zero hits on myself.  Done well, it is very possible.  It takes a bit of practice.  I find the TA152 to be the most efficient killer of buffs.  My ingame name is Hartmann, PM me anytime and you can join me if you want a bit of instruction.

Jug.

If there's one thing Hartmann is good at, it's buff killing.  I've seen him take out groups without being touched many, many times.  And not scrubs, either.  We'd just usually team up on 999000 for added insurance.

Because of the way buff gunnery works in here, 2 people can generally dispatch a set of buffs with ease as long as they take their time to reset properly.  Impatience is what kills most buff hunters.

This has to be carved in stone.

I'm young (29), an aspiring student mechanic (and pilot), and already going bald.  Does that count?

  Yep.  Gets me every time.
