took us like 5 hours to get it.

I must've only been a game away from seeing the beast. Next time eh.

I believe it 50 strike missions will take forever, well for squads it won't take that long :-P

its a big bird!! nice in formation though. i enjoy flying it.

damnit i cant have been more than a few games away either *sobs into sleeve* SOMEDAY MY SWEET!!

50 strike missions That's silly I'll never get one

Thats 50 strike WINS in a Bomber ;)

Hummm screw that

Keep in mind that Strike games can be set to as little as 3 minutes. ;)
3 minute A-20 dogfights might actually be fun. LOL

so fifty aircraft kills?

Faster way to get through 50 wins in a Strike room. Just play it as a 3 min dogfight. No way you'll be hitting bases to take them out that fast.

Does an Il-2 count as bomber?

IMO it was worth the six hours of playing 3 min strike matches. Made a few new friends along the way too. Thanks to the guys who played and if any of you guys want help getting it too, just send an invite.

wats ur psn???

I dropped 60 bombs on a Target and crashed into it, How the hell do ya blow em up

they take loads of damage, they eventually destory but each bomb takes away tickets, its all about the tickets, not the physical structure, although you do get 3 *s for destorying a structure / boat etc.

enjoyed palying with you draux, it was a good laugh, ill add you if thats ok. want to take you 1 on 1 with a B-17 hehe :)

So you just have to win 50 games of strike while in a bomber? Does it have to be ranked matches?

nope any bomber on strike 50 wins, player or ranked.

I'm assuming you guys are all on XBox. There's no party support or ranked or player matches on Ps3.

That said, I played a Strike Mission earlier in an A-20, Got the most air-to air kills, didn;t die and still ran out of bombs.

anybody on PSN that wants to fly with me to attain the B-17???

For those with B17s how effective would you say the AI gunners are?

The AI shot me down a couple of times when I wasn't even going for the Fortress, just as I passed it.

Wow nice video, it looks even better than I expected. :). Just imagine piloting that thing in cockpit view. *drools*

Fifty kills or fifty wins?

Fifty wins gets you the B-17

So fifty team wins so everybody on your team will get 1?

no each match you win counts as 1 win.

Say you have completed 20 wins on strike in a bomber and your friend has 15, and you kept playing together to obtain the B-17, you would need to get 30 match wins and your friend would need 35 match wins to unlocks it.

Hope that made sense buddy ;)

Yep. why aren't you playing right now?

cuz im downstairs on computer.

i would be online and trying to unlock the B-17 but i couldnt seem to find any matches :)

That's what me and edal are doing. I just create my own session

ahh i see, let me know when your next on attempting to unlock it, i wont hesitate to join you

Im Lvl 11 and bored silly, please kill me

That is a beautiful looking plane, damn. Nice job drew. :)

Awesome looking !! Going to have to go for this myself :D
Takes me back to my Warbird flying days, when we had the huge B17 scenario event to bomb germany.. good times ;)

Would love to see interior cockpits/gunner positions for this beauty.. make it happen anton ;) you guys rock !!!

Lucky, lucky, lucky guy...I wish to do that myself...personally i don't know how, but it is a very fond dream of mine.
