So I was wondering if you folks reckon there's better planes/tactics/guns to bring down 17s. My tactic was to come from straight above or 12oclock high where his gunners can't cover. (Apart from rockets of course.)
100% agree.
K4, booming and zooming from above, aiming at 1 of its four motors, and b17 down at each passage.
