I've gotten good results (within the blen's possibilities) when following the other guy's advice in the thread I mentioned when coming in at 6000ft and lowering the speed adjustment to 100-110mph when actually going 180-190mph. As I said, it's all in the other thread.

Hahaha, sorry mate, it's just that there are so many threads and so little time to answer them all. I sometimes make a mental note to try out something to be able to answer another user, then i forget about it if i start reading something else

Wish we had a heavy bomber with some more gunpods.

I think the trick is to come in low and fast, having an escort is always welcome too as for all bombers.
It might be under-protected but it can move at a reasonable clip, also thanks to the way the graphics are (camo paint actually works) it might be hard for patrolling enemy fighters to pick you up against the ground until it's too late.
Cruising speeds as low as 130mph were used for maximum range and fuel economy, but i think such mission profiles would be used in long range missions (like the raid on the Cologne power stations). For the short ranges we have on the current map, loading up just 50% fuel (to lessen the weight and help with the take-off) and cruising at 180mph (+0 to +1.5 boost at full coarse prop pitch) is good enough for coastal targets.
