Last night the AK's put up a 12 bomber box mission of B17. Pigs caught them at 16k in 262 and P47M. They were wingman locked in close formation so we had a 4 sector running fight to the target and back out. The Dickweeds do the same on Tuesday nights 9pm ET and we meet them. So far POTW has the edge on interception but the Dickweeds change up their strategy from time to time and it gets dicey even for multiple 262. I'm amazed since it's known POTW will hunt them on Tuesday since it's squad night, they cannot recruit more escorts. One night they had 262 escorts and we ended up in 163 over the target after we harassed them inbound with 262.
AK's, Dickweeds and POTW are still doing large group activities. Now, lowering the cost for B29 would probably have them used by those two bomber mission squads. That would make for some interesting action since those things are armed to the teeth for things like 262.
