Haha, yes the Milch cow is a cunning one.
All good descreption on that mission Jack. Had a hell of time getting it down there at the end with the wind and the waves. It all knocked me over a number of times.

Have any of you done the "Bomb Dresden" Mission ?
Just want to give you a tip.
If you successfully get through the AA fire and the attacking FW 190, drop your load and return home with your P-51 cover still flying. Dont think your safe.

As on approaching the channel there will be an B-17 kinda sneakink upon you, calling for cover. If you slow down and get out of formation to help it, it will open fire.
This is a captured B-17, a really sneaky, but historic correct, tactic.
You need to stay in formation and make the P-51 take it out.
Preferably with rockets.........

kav you are obviously way ahead of me in the unlocks. what unlocks the dresden mission? i went back to the d-day campaign because i wasnt happy with "search and destroy". i actually think that is a pretty good mission and recommend it anyone who wants to practice gunnery. you get to fly all over northern france and shoot up anything that moves. and i am glad they didnt put bombs on the ac for this. but straffing things gives you an eye for shooting and well, i need all the help i can get. the way the boilers blow on the locomotives is dead on from gun camera footage i have seen. but a couple trains have flak wagons on them and those can get you if you arent careful. the barges are kinda fun to shoot up. the trucks more of a challenge...but the guy on the motorcycle is tough and getting him unlocks your 51-H! my only gripe with is the same old one...that the 51 flies like a pig and you end up continually augering in or spinning at low altitude and crashing. i did find out through trial and error that it doesnt seem to stall and spin as easily if you use cockpit view only. maybe its me but it really doesnt. so i wanted to retry in that mode and it was way much better by far. so if any of you had troubles with that mission or didnt like how you played it the first time, or like i said just want to sharpen your gunnery skills try flying it like that. now i am going to go back to "operation jubliee" about the dieppe raid and do the same thing.

Hahaha, yeah i saw it to!!

The B-17, or as the Luftwaffe call it in that particular mission, the. Well the description you give sounds very familiar.....

A good mission though rather annoying. You get ordered to go, bobm the target, get through flak and fighters and come home.... only to be called a murderer!! Hmmm

Okey i am so confused... are you guys talking about the console version of BOP or PC. cause i want all these goodies too!!

We are discussing the console versions. These ace levels are only available once you pass 5,000 online kills or log 9000 flight hours

That does halve if you fly under all of the bridges on all the maps. I'd suggest the i153 for Berlin as some in the city are very low and quite tight.

It gets reduced even further if you fly under them all inverted. You will need a steady hand for Berlin :-)

Corsair? Thats not in the game.

Priceless

Can we get this thread stickied? It's a classic
