Best plane vs B17G

[scottyvt4]

im the same as Olife G6 is brutally effective at destroying 17's with ease, with the right tactics a Mk XI spit is just as effective.

but the squad that can fly the fast jets again no contest for the Me163 or 262 will be on, busrts released, and all you will hear is jet wash/engine noise.

My preffered method is to use a B-17 and then try a full on broadside like the Battle of Trafalgar. Failing that, pick the rocket plane and see how many times you can kamikaze someone in 10 mins.

You could also try and recreate the scene in Return of the Jedi where the A-wing crashes into the bridge of the SSD. A rolling direct hit into the cockpit.... nice.

I could never work out if that A-Wing pilot did that on purpose or by accident. The way his ship was rolling and his anguished yell looked like he had been hit by a Tie and was out of control.
The Gamecube game Rebel Strike had a bonus mission where you played as that guy in his A-Wing and had to negotiate the canyon superstructure of the SSD before clearly kamikaze flying into the bridge.
I bought a toy A-Wing a couple of years ago and it came with a figure of the guy. One of my fav SW figures

Not quite a B-17, but i had great success in a 1 on 1 with an il-10. I chose the me-163, climbed to maximum altitude and pottered along at high speed.
My thinking was, 'if I attack, all that will happen is they'll fly straight and level and use the turret.' This really bores me, so I decided to bore them instead.
They got so tired of me wandering around that they landed at Manston. Big mistake. I swooped down and strafed them, and when they respawned again, I rinsed and repeated. Sure, it doesn't get as many kills as other methods, but I didn't die once. Just remember to bring a book or in-flight meal, a fair bit of waiting is required!
