ok... who switched my B-17's armour for papier maché?

[birdsofmay]

i've seen a few b-17 bombers and I am amazed by the feats the plane reached but I can almost make a hole in the plating with 1 punch

yes I pressed on the plating in a musem (yes I know I shouldn't) and a dent apeared its 3mm thick at the most so bullets enter at 1 side and leave at the other side. So the armor isnt that good it just has 12 turrets well 12 guns

They've flown one out of Boeing field here (it roams the country I believe) called "Aluminum Overcast". Watched it fly overhead several times on the way to work / and on the weekend. Thought it was stalking me lol I'm going to snag tickets next time it comes to town, you can get a flight around the area in it.

Its currently down in Texas if anybody wants to check it out. You get to roam around the plane in flight, go to the gun positions, etc. Looks like fun!

Awesome video - gonna have to check for more of that on YouTube. Monday work tedium could become a thing of the past

The makers are noobs though - they should have farmed out their smoke CGI to the IL2 devs lol.
