B-17G Gamebreaker?

[mavrickandgoose]

I agree with buzz when i see a b17 in a dog fight i no longer care about winning i make it my sole perpose in life to kill it over and over so that 1. it wont win by killing noobs and 2.it will get so pissed it will never fly it with me in the game again

Yes kill noobs who fly the 17 and think they're so good but sole purpose in life? Perhaps going a bit far?

no kill the b17 who thinks they are going to win by killing noobs who fly behind them

they deserve to a. die for doing so and b. learn the lesson of correct attack angles.

no not too far. if you fly that plane in a team battle...you put your team -1. and that isnt fair to them. in a df what are you trying to prove? i can almost see it in cta but there are better bombers to fly and again you put your team at a disadvantage of -1. now if everyone is screwing off and flying weird crap then by all means. we have gotten bored and had Po-2 dogfights. but by and large i have seem more people get pissed by someone flying a bomber when they shouldnt.

In a team battle it is not the plane to use no. Bombers in team battle are a major teram disadvantage and just irritate people. With that I agree.

In Dogfight however, I am not trying to "prove" anything, I am just trying to do as well as I can. For some reason I struggle to shoot down a turning plane even with the forestalling and thus I have forced myself into using a plane where planes mostly fly at in straight lines. I also use it so that if I cannot shake an opponent (in a fighter) I have a method of defense. If in a fighter without such defensive armanent I just get burned.

getting burned is a part of the learning curve if you are consistently using a tailgunner how will you ever learn to dogfight.I will repeatedly attack any bombers in DM TDM &CTA except the il10(T34)which i will just ignore

[bobbysocks]

dogfighting isnt just getting on someone's six and taking them down...or learning the fine art of deflection shooting. a large part of it is, especially in this game, is evading someone who is on your tail. getting away to fight another battle OR if you can turn the situation around and get them in your sites...that's the stuff you will never learn that with a tail gunner. we all have had our time being flamed over and over again. like themeistor said...that my dear boy, is just part of the territory and yes it is frustrating until you learn...but the sooner you start the sooner you will get better at it.
