Well, from a balance standpoint, it sort of seems to me you're screwed when you're trying to balance a side that built heavy bombers against a side that just didn't. If you really want to balance bomber vrs bomber missions then you really have to limit the Allies to medium bombers, just the A-10 and B-25, etc, and even there, the Germans really stopped seriously developing bombers after around 1941-42.
My thought would be, bring in the B-25, have it unlock with the B-17, and then limit heavy bombers to asymmetric scenarios built to handle them. |

if you take up an emil or spit mk II against a B-17 you're GOING to LOSE! it would have lost then it SHOULD lose now, which is why funnily enough Emils and Spitfires didnt get sent up against B-17s, 262s 163's Gustakvs, K-10s, FW 190s got sent up against them. if you want to use an Emil or spit mk II, set the server to pre-41 planes only. but dont nerf other planes e.g. 1945 planes, because you dont stand a chance in your 1940's plane. |

and if u are playing one team allies one team axis (which would be cool) that is why the axis get the Arado, the 262, and the 163. 4 jet aircraft to the allies 0 jet aircraft (oh theres also the He-16something) so the axis get interceptors and a JET BOMBER, and the allies get the B-17. but all of that doesnt matter when ANYONE can fly ANYTHING. so balancing again does NOT count as a valid reason to RUIN a perfectly good plane. |

The last thing I'd want to see is Birds of Prey go down the, dare I say it, Halo 3 route. I remember playing that and realising that everything, the big walking machine, the alien tank, the Hunter aliens, they all have "weak spots" presumably to balance the multiplayer, which is something I loathe. I'm sorry if this has gone somewhat off topic, and I'm also sorry i just admitted I used to play Halo, the shame...

and yes cannon shells should do more damage, BUT the B-17 is weak as tin foil. and the control surfaces (as Kirill mentioned) could take ALOT more pounding, yes a cannon round rattling around in an engine should do serious damage, but taking out 1 engine doesnt = explode. but id love to hear an example where a spitfire MkII went up against a german captured B-17 or Do-200 as they called it. |
