As far as dogfighting bombers go, the Boston makes a pretty rough customer too. I took one up last night since the fighter that was available from the field nearest the fight was the Hurricane IId. The Hurri is just too slow to deal with the 109s, 190s, and 262s that were plagueing the field. I figured that if I took up a Boston, it would be as fast or faster than a Hurri, and the 109s would come down and fight, sensing an easy kill. It worked as planned, I responded to a call from Ammo for help with 3 fighters that were on him. One other Allied fighter went in as well. Ammo was either shot down or left, leaving me and the other Allied fighter fighting the 3 German fighters. After a short but viscious dogfight low over the water, I shot up one 109 with my nose guns, and he promptly crashed nearby giving me a kill. A second later another 109 raked my Boston, knocking off an elevator and a flap. I continued to fight, soon getting on one of the 109s 6. I shot him up pretty badly, and then, out of ammo, proceeded for home. The smoking 109 that I shot up must have had engine seizure and crash, becuase I got the kill a minute later, just before I landed safely. Two 109 kills with the nose guns, and a safe return home aint bad for a 2 engined bomber that only has .303 guns.
