Anyone want to unlock the B-17?

Monday 12 October 2009 4 PM Central US time will try unlocking B-17
1) Team A always wins
2) Team B only one person
3) 3 minute time
4) After losing once, rotate to team A; more players mean more wins between losing
5) Suggest using JU-87-B2 for first 5 missions on team A; you unlock JU-87-D3
6) Use JU-87-D3 for next 20 Team A missions; you unlock FW-190-F8
7) Will continue until all players have unlocked the B-17

Will play on arcade difficulty
9) Once I get B-17, I will be Team B until everyone else gets it if necessary
10) gamertag condorz38
11) you can unlock 3 planes and if good at bombing get 50 ground targets destroyed
12) imagine it will take 3 to 4 hours for everyone to unlock

But I am having too much fun blowing them from the sky with my G-6.

That would be like the wolf wanting to be a sheep.

Really though, it would be cool to unlock one, but I would rather try to do it the legit way.

I'm in... Feels kinda cheap, but finding games is hard enough as is.

Someone who already has the B17 should use it.

I thought about that, but I feel it sort of levels the playing field. I am not great at the game, I beat all three modes of the campaign due to sheer stubbornness. Some people are very, very good and the better planes like the B-17 give them even more of an advantage. Personally I feel that the title update should give the plane and weapon unlocks to the single player campaign. Beat it on simulator and get the planes. That way, even bad fliers like me can have them and practice with them on training. The really good players win this way also. If I am better and have good planes, I can be more of a challenge. While it might be fun to play knowing you can beat everyone, I imagine it gets old if there is no competition. This way we can all get better and make for better, more exciting games.

I don't want any anything to do with it.

To me the B17 is a symbol that you've worked hard, and played a lot at this game. And so.. I shall not boost!

Not to mention it takes all the fun out of the game...

I boosted with a bunch of friends and have no regrets, we earnt that B-17.

From scratch it will take between 6 and 8 hours, and as I have the B-17 and all its armaments, I will gladly come on and lose for a bit for you.
