Ive had what has happend to you only occur twice. never had it again since i first got it
Is the B-17 that superior in online play ? i would expect that a single one would be easy pray to a ME 262 and that eventually the Arado 234 would much more effective .

From what Ive seen of it the B-17 has the biggest bombs, is fast, and is armed to the teeth with turrets. So unless you actually have one on your team also, your pretty much screwed for a win.

Had it a couple of times too, then I just choose custom match, so I can choose from the list if there are other matches.
Might have something to do with the host having a bad connection and it can't take too many people?

This might not be because of your B-17. I personally often leave sessions when I make one, because a random person joins, while I just wanted to invite friends. If it has a low amount of max players then it's probably this.

Hope they add private matches in a future update.

Yea, the B-17 is a bit overpowered. I usually always set my team on A and if I pick the B-17, a lot of players will set it on the same team. I've won a match after just 4 bomb runs, while the enemy team barely did anything to our ticket.

Well i imagine that some Sonderkommando Elbe (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonderkommando_Elbe) tactics will star to appear... probably better to lose less tickets by ramming the bomber then to actually let it fly unharmed to the target.

The Radar map thing also doesn't help to the surprise effect off an attack in sim.

The joining/leaving can be attributed to;
A room just opened with the host still in the room settings page,
A room that has started a game and is counting down,
A game that is in the process of loading,
A game that is "in flight".

This only happens to me sometimes when trying to join a random host from the game search. Its never happened when I've been invited to a friends game. So I assume its a small bug in the game search. Often when its forced me to leave and I try the same game again straight away, I get in.

You have to have some team effort to bring them down, the b17 gunners are leathal at least for me the times I had a go at one with my bf109

Im more mad at 3 minute strike games for the kiddies who badly want their b17's and ghost games that doesn't exist but the online interface says is still in the lobby phase

i find the best way to take them out is an almost head-on pass. With luck and and some gunnery skills you can take out the pilot much easier than the actual plane is to destroy.
