I myself did the mistake of flying the Il-2 to get the B-17and ended up getting the flying tank award and not the B-17

I unlocked the B-17 after playing one of our group's organised fair strike matches. We had one Ju87D on each side the rest were fighters, I was flying my sides stuka. I didn't boost at all to get the b-17 so I was very suprised and pleased when it came up unlocked, it only took me 12+ months lol. SEE was there he'll remember it too.

So i'm sure the stuka counts. Maybe the Il2/10 planes don't count because you can fly them without bombs?

You might be right about the JU 87, but the IL-2 doesnt count.

I used the JU87 pre patch and got the B17. I list it in a Ylod at Christmas and have been using an Il2 to get it back so thanks for the heads up. I will drop into a Stuka or Blenheim from now on. I thought it was anything that showed as a triangle on the map as that's the bomber indicator

Thanks guys -- I'll use the Stuka on some Strike matches and hope to unlock it. If I unlock after a match using it, I'll pop back to report.
