On topic here, i dont think the b-17 is a game breaker. It can be if you know how to use it properly but along with some other aircraft.. if you use them properly against the b-17, it will be useless.. just a battle of atrition. Its easy to shoot down with a g-6 or k-4 if you have the right angle.. even a bf-110 will easily bring it down if you get a close, clean shot at it. swoop on it like a peregrine falcon and shoot from above and pull up underneathe it and perforate its fueselage.. if the pilot flys it in a straight line its easily taken out by going head on about 600m lower than it and pulling up vertically to shoot the fueselage. even shooting the ground targets with a g-6 <in flight> will defeat your average b-17 pilot. thats my opinion anyways.
