I also do like to think that I am not an abuser of the plane by overuse but I do sometimes feel guilty about 13kills to 4deaths in a dogfight.
However, as people have said they are killable.
Back to the main point of the game though, it doesn't matter in a dogfight if a player uses a B-17 as long as they have fun. CTA it can be a bit of pain if a teammate decides to use one but it is their choice. I have personally only used it once and can easily see how it could be destroyed but it is a satisfying plane and if anyone decides to tail you, more fool them. I'm not abusing the system by overusing a good plane and if anyone wants to try and shoot me down they are welcome! (although I'm not very good so you probably will shoot me
down)
Nah as you put it 13 kills to 4 deaths suggest you aren't very good with a B17 but then your autogunners may well be. Rest assured if I see you in a dogfight/ team battle or even cta with the B17 I'll only be targetting you for the whole match.
Now that will be as you put it 'Fun'
