Also, our highly-esteemed mission designer has seen fit to improve the marksmanship of the bombers' gunners. No "Golden BB's", but it IS foolhardy to approach from dead astern at our accustomed closing speeds and expect to escape unscathed. (Which also made us target-fixated Red pilots easy pickings for escorting 109 pilots on high, anyway).
Instead, we're far better off employing the boom & zoom techniques which our Blue friends have mastered so well, including well-timed deflection shooting. Not only does that give far better odds against defending gunners and fighter escorts, it also gives far better angles on a bomber's vital parts in terms of Damage Modelling. But to do this, altitude is key. Don't need no steenkin' YouTube videos to prove THAT! LOL
