B17 is a beast. Me and my friend wil lboth fly them...we will form up, then head to a target (one agreed between the pair of us), en route we keep an eye out form enemy fighters who want us, and we inform our "little friends" where they are. They go for the fighters and engage.

Any that are lucky enough to get through then have a wall of fire coming from 2 B17's to get through.


Makes for some truly great games.

It does look good when the game starts....

two B17's forming up, then just above us a couple of friendly fighters to protect us.... first sign of trouble.... it looks superb when you watch the fighters peel off to engage the enemy. Hahaha, i love it!!

flying to the target in the B17's getting buzzed by 109's who are being chased by spits. Great games.

If you don't mind, give me your GT. I would love to fly cover for a pair of B-17s.

"Spell: Outclassed"
"Can you use it in a sentence?"
"Outclassed. As in, the entire enemy team were outclassed by the single B-17 player"

Yes sir.

Edit: I work the night shift here in the US, so when I play I should see you more often than not.

Although the B17 is hard to take down, it's possible and I've done it, enough to win every now and then against a B17. The Arado however is impossible to take down unless you have a jet. And although it does have a big turn radius, the time you take turning is the time you gain by being at your target way before anyone else. On top of that, I don't think the time you take to make a decent 180 with a B17 is that much shorter than what you do with the Arado. Turn radius is not important, rate of turn is.
