I love abusing the abuser with 4x30mm cannons

Yes those guns have blindspots but tilting the plane can quickly help. I have to say some players are very adept at killing B-17s but they are few and far between.
In CTA the B-17 is easy to land but a bit of a target on the ground and is a bit slow so it is best to use something like the Spitfire XVI.
I also do like to think that I am not an abuser of the plane by overuse but I do sometimes feel guilty about 13kills to 4deaths in a dogfight.
However, as people have said they are killable.
Back to the main point of the game though, it doesn't matter in a dogfight if a player uses a B-17 as long as they have fun. CTA it can be a bit of pain if a teammate decides to use one but it is their choice. I have personally only used it once and can easily see how it could be destroyed but it is a satisfying plane and if anyone decides to tail you, more fool them. I'm not abusing the system by overusing a good plane and if anyone wants to try and shoot me down they are welcome! (although I'm not very good so you probably will shoot me down)

Now thats the right approach mate!!!! Always a good excuse to break out the hurri/P51/P47/yak with rockets and fly through the 'behemoth' of a debris cloud....

Nah as you put it 13 kills to 4 deaths suggest you aren't very good with a B17 but then your autogunners may well be. Rest assured if I see you in a dogfight/ team battle or even cta with the B17 I'll only be targetting you for the whole match.
Now that will be as you put it 'Fun'

[irishjg10]

I second that motion

Now now people, it was only a little joke, please don't blow me into several million pieces
Anyway I just used it in CTA once and I don't generally go on dogfight and have never got a kill with the autogunners. In Team Battle I prefer 109s which is kind of ironic given my name on this forum.
