Cue me back to scampton to start again. Quick question on this, is it better to enagae the FW190's that attack as you cross into Sweden or try and run and let your escorts attack them?
Ah the hospital ship!! Yeah its an easy mistake to make. I think had i not gone for the smaller ship then i would of probably done the same and gone for the hospital ship to.

I found that being vulnerable underneath, i hit the deck so that i couldnt be hit from below, then headed for sweden while letting my gunners do what they could, and also having the escorts help out.

Its good to see the increase in speed once you release that bad boy of a bomb though. Crawling back across the north sea with 3 engines is also a bit nerve wracking.

A good mission.

If i can get a good 360 player to use the fighter with drop tanks, then they will help get the lancs all the way to the target and back. The AI can be a bit poor sometimes.
