sunday Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Basically, it was better to incorporate some of the improvements, like the chin turret and the offset waist positions, in normal bombers, thus originating the B-17G. Also, lots of imagery of the YB-40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angrybk Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Watched a bit of it, but the major issue was that they were too fast to keep up with the bomber stream going over the target (because no bombs) and then too slow to keep up with the stream after they'd released their bombs.

Well, going in with bomber stream was not a problem, they could throttle down then. Problem was return, since extra guns and extra armour made them way slower than regular B-17s flying without bombs.
