i find the best way to take them out is an almost head-on pass. With luck and and some gunnery skills you can take out the pilot much easier than the actual plane is to destroy.

Really? nobody has ever taken down my B-17 by taking a head on pass (well unless its a kamikaze mission)

The ONLY plane that i have recognised to shoot me down was a BF-109 G6

2 machine guns and 3 cannons! thats your best odds at shooting one of the B-17's down

I suppose it depends on your mode. Arcade its harder to kill the plane imo since all planes are pretty tough anyway. The head on pass works pretty well there. It would probably be a lot easier in Sim mode with a competent pilot in the attack.

its mostly realistic for as most dont opt for Sim. it still takes quite a beating in realistic and sim. for instance its not exactly going to have the same armour as a po-2 in sim
