Can't comment on that, I don't fly level bombers in a way that stresses them.  That said, Lancasters could be looped.

He's full of crap, the He-111 is damn maneuverable, even with a full bomb load. I've fought off a 109F, a Typhoon, and a P-51 through maneuvering on three separate occasions.

The only way to slow the Lanc down is to slow all bombers down, including the He111 and Ju88.  And even then its 14,000lb payload means it won't be a hangar queen.  No amount of prattle on your part is going to give the He111 or Ju88 the payload of the Lancaster, which is the only reason it gets used.

Its also pretty fast on the deck, relative to the other heavies we have. IMO, its relative speed for NOE usage is a big reason it doesn't get ousted by the B-24 or B-17.

Karnak you post too much to read. . .  

I get bored at work sometimes when it is slow....

Good point.  That speed does seem accurate though, so still nothing to complain about.  Besides, a low Lancaster in AH is nothing but a free kill waiting to be plucked.

Karnak you post too much to read. . . 

Yeah, Karnak.  Cumulatively, you've posted perhaps a type-written page worth of text in this topic.

My God, man -- how could anyone read as much as that in a discussion topic?

I know that in the olden days they had these things called "magazine articles" that were 5 or 10 pages long, which took teams of people a year or more to read.  And I've heard rumors of something called a "book", but I think that it's just a fable.

At any rate, in the future, please try for messages that add the most to the discussion, such as with the entire content being "Yep" or " " or "No way you dont know what your talking about" to meet with modern standards.

Try Rise of Flight. That's where I've been since I got my new computer.

HAIL THE GRAYCLIF. I AM BACK!!

OK, Mr Karnak...
A lanc, when low and on the deck is ACTUALY about the safest place a lanc can be. <--- its lack of NO BOTTOM TURRET and turrets that can't fire down much as in game, is neutralized because nothing can get below it. EXACTLY the OPPOSITE OF WHAT YOU JUST SAID "free kill waiting to be plucked"
   

and a left, and a right!    
Back to the topic, He-111's have strict gun arch ranges with an interface that restricts it even more, A SIMPLE 'NO AUTO-LEVEL OPTION' when we go to a gun station, IS DENIED BY KARNAK. While KARNAK STILL WONT ADMIT from a PICTURE THAT IS PLAIN AS DAY, that our AcesHigh lanc's can fire down, much further in game, that they should!  
And Karnak is stunned and staggering!  
 

20,000 posts and can't admit a simple picture... maybe the guy is cross-eyed or something.
And Karnak is down for the count!
 

But here comes the REF... HTC and his 'delete post rule #4' punch!  

And Franz heads out the back window, gets in a cab with 'Esmarelda'    
to go have blueberry pancakes on Zed's Chopper!    
 

[Arlo]

[Franz Von Werra]

We have an official 'World Wrestling Federation' TAG TEAM MATCH going...
... and in to the ring comes Arlo, tags up with Karnak, so match isn't over!

Arlo seems to have a back issue, or a new style of Kung Fu or... somethin!  

 

NEXT!  

[Arlo]

Stand by.



Ok, continue losing it.

 

[Franz Von Werra]

Arlo counters with a side-stepping FAIL of a dodge followed by a WEAK counter punch.

Technology:
No mention of technology, not recently. We are only talking SIMPLE GEOMETRY here... SEE THE PICTUREs of Lanc firing arch, THEN SEE THE IN GAME PLANE firing arch.
Why lost?
Because... Russia was bigger than USA, but even USA's 'Arsenal of Democracy' was even further away from Germany than England was. <-- the short answer.

Sooo Arlo falls flat on his own face, Franz stands victorious!

Sorry, but the safest place a Lanc can be in AH is as high as it can get.  Much lower chance of being intercepted.

However, being so low as to eliminate belly attacks is better than being at, say, 5,000ft.  Nonetheless, the Lanc's defenses are so weak that it is still a free kill waiting to be plucked.

Back to the topic, He-111's have strict gun arch ranges with an interface that restricts it even more,

Hand held guns do have more restrictive arcs as compared to turrets and there may, or may not be, some further restrictions due to interface.  I do not know what the range of travel the He111's guns had.

A SIMPLE 'NO AUTO-LEVEL OPTION' when we go to a gun station, IS DENIED BY KARNAK.

You're a loon.  I said no such thing.

You have posted no such picture, nor could I find one.  You claim that 60 degrees depression is too much, and it may be, but you supply no evidence.  A photo of the turret with the guns pointing straight back tells us nothing.
