That was what I was saying in a previous post.
"A german fighter tactic against B-17s was to approach from about 600m away head on, while pointed down at a 30 - 45 degree angle. At about 100m they would pull their nose up to a 45 degree angle and fire at the B-17 before banking left or right while going into a dive."
I have used this tactic in arcade against several B-17s with high success.
In realistic I like to come from above at about a 70 - 80 degree angle at 400m above them. I normally aim for their top gunner or right in front of it.
I always enjoy seeing the B-17 burn as it tumbles to the ground.
