Yes, well... again to be subjective, I would be extremely surprised if ANY wwii plane presented a "harder" target than the b-17. It first flew in 1935, a design far ahead of its time, and they had years to strengthen and toughen it making the F and especially the G versions reliable, heavily armed and durable. I doubt that even the newer and "sexier" b-29, rushed into service under the tightest deadlines, would have been as survivable over German skies and I am curious if those computer aimed remote control turrets were even half as effective in the real world as the dedicated manned guns on the b-17.
