well depends on the conditions, there was nothing the luftwaffe could do to stop us bombing by day over normandy when we had total air superiority.............
I will have to check, but I remember reading somewhere that statistically, the ball turret was not the worst place to be. I will see if I can find that reference.
well as has been said it depends allot on the nationality of the bomber, you only have 3 options on a british bomber, but many on an american one.......
The P-38 and Zero. When I saw it the P-38 had only 5-10 hours on it's restoration. It could be from somewhere else though (I don't remember the P-38 having drop tanks). P-38s sound SOOOO cool a deep rumble and so smooth it makes a merlin sound rough (the turbos, it's quieter too) - no offense guy's the Merlin sounds great too.
statistics says the tail it the worst place to be.
Ow, and in IL-2 FB or PF, from what direction u mostly attack a group of bombers? i think almost everyone shoots from the back to take the whole group of bombers out.
