And that just to arrive into a sector where your escort is nowhere to be seen, and you have the misfortune of being bounced by enemy fighters. He kills you in its first pass, and all the travel for nothing. Not much difference in between keeping positions in a flak battery, to a long range bombing mission.

Never tried the 2h stuff. But I know what it feels like to get shot out of the sky a few miles away from target -after 30mins of flight (And if that would happen 4 out of 5 times I would quit flying bombers). But I still think flying in a bomber is more fun than manning FlaK, at least you are not static - if a sitting duck against fighters though. You can at least try using your mobility to surprise the enemy.
