Best plane vs B17G

[The_Stapler]

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!
