Um, I never said it was flyable and this thread gives no indication that it is discussing fixes for flyables only.
Bottom line is the B-17D, at least, has no dorsal armament where it should have a twin flexible .50 BMG in the radio compartment.
They are very easy targets at the moment, simply attack from above. I'd like them to be less easy targets. I do not use mods. Alles klar?

Nice, thank you!

As far as the 8 gun Hurricane IIB goes, this was a field mod introduced when the RAF started fighting Japanese aircraft. It was felt that 12x .303 were overkill against lightly built Japanese aircraft with 8 guns being regarded as more than enough. Furthermore the weight saving and performance gained after removing the outer four guns, their ammo feeds and the associated protective plate was seen as worthwhile. Please note I am not talking about the IIA. IIRC, some Hurricane IIB were modified this way in Singapore before the fall and many others were subsequently modified like this in CBI.

I thought about suggesting a Hurri IID/IV, but thought best to leave the requests to things that don't need any 3D model changes.

I'd still like to see a 1944 standard Mossie with rockets too.
