1 pass with a P-47 will take of 60 tickets with ease. You can be happy when you get close to getting of 30 tickets with a He-111 in 1 pass

The Arado carries three 500kg bombs. Its rougly 2.2 lbs to one kg, so the Arado still carries more than the P-47, at a little more than 3000 lbs of bombs.

The P-47 is definately a beast though. I know I enjoy flying it when I get tired of the Arado or B-17. Fun to go bomber hunting in that thing too.

Its all about prioritizing things though. The P-47 is far from invulnerable, so a fighter should be sent out to kill or distract it, just like a fighter or two should always be assigned to a B-17. They are priority targets, and they can't destroy tickets if they can't get to the targets or are too busy avoiding getting shot to line up for their bomb runs. The Arado would be one as well, but most of the time you won't get a good shot on it if the pilot is good. Best to just focus on the other priorities and hope your people out-bomb it.

Of course these tactics are dependant on playing with people you know, since randoms either don't have mics or refuse to listen. I have had terrible luck with random fighter pilots in strike. They either think their jobs are to dogfight everyone, or strafe targets with machineguns...instead of, you know, protecting the bombers or killing the enemy bombers. I try to make sure I have a few of my squad with me, so I don't have to deal with that kind of frustration. lol
