Having unlocked the B17, both me and a friend took them online into a strike game...
we formed up and then headed tp the target.... it was a nice sight, two B17's flying together with some "little friends" looking out for us.
En route to the set of targets we picked, we noticed a couple of enemies at 1 o clock high, they had seen us to. We asked out little friends to go get em, but they couldnt assist, they were to busy engaging the enemy bombers elswhere that were heading for our targets...
we were on our own!!
The targets drew nearer and then got within range.....
between 2 B17's they can put up alot of firewpower.........
in a matter of seconds one of the targets was down, a ball of flames heading to the deck. We felt pretty safe in these big bombers, they could deal alot of punishment!!
The second target had made one head on pass at us and got a few rounds off but nothing to serious, (it was in this pass that we took out the other target), on his second pass he was coming from our 5 o clock high... as he got closer......
BANG
my wing is taken off and im falling out of the sky!!!
i couldnt figure it out, i wasnt the lead bomber, and i had eyes on the enemy fighter... he didnt fire off a single round, he was well out of range, so why am i going down in a ball of flames... wtf is gonig on....
Im screaming down the mic... telling my mate in the lead bomber that their must be another fighter lurking about because he's taken me out!! to which he replied....
Erm.... no theirs not. Sorry mate, i was trying to fire a few sneaky rounds at the enemy at our 5 o clock....only trying to scare him off..... i accidentaly shot you instead mate. Sorry.
Well played!!!
LOL.
Still.... we managed to make the targets and deal alot of damage with the B17's. A great game.
