• Gunners? Not as much as any bomber, but that's compensated for by the speed, with which no piston pilot can even dream of flying.
• Manouvrability? It'll turn just as hard or easy as a B17. Admittedly, it's less agile then the He-111, but that's compensated for by payload.

Fighter jets:

• Armament? Me-262 has some nice cannons on there, with less recoil than similar planes.
• Manouvrability? Obviously compensated for with speed.
• Armor? So what? It's not like anyone keeps up.

I have respect for people that can B&Z, and with some planes you must, but all the planes that are designed for B&Z instead of T&B are still vulnerable to other aircraft, except for the jets. A master of B&Z will be invincible in a jet, period. Unless someone else grabs a jet.

Maybe 1-on-1 it doesn't work out, but with some teamwork, 2 planes can coordinate an attack and take down jets. Jets aren't invincible. Now, that's all I'll have to say on that topic, because that really belongs in the 'I'm surprised jets are not used more' thread.
