Auto Credit Based on Weaverfish's B-17 Fortress Tail Turret
Cockpit removed, yaw disabled, designed to be flown by the AI in dogfight mode.
Retains weight and flight characteristics of the original
Speed is set to cruising speed - 265mph
Health has been fine tuned to match historic references - You'll need to fly one of my fighters with serious firepower to take this thing out. If you're attacking with the game's default guns, they deal roughly 35 hitpoints of damage. My fighters are mostly armed with 20mm cannons that deal roughly 20 hitpoints of damage - "The Luftwaffe estimated that it took an average of 20 hits from the 20mm cannon to destroy a B-17"

Welp,im back here,im just saying i attack this with my RI-25 interceptor,bomber spun out of control and some engines are burnt,the bomber is literally obilerated
welp,just saying my bc-1 destroyed it with its flares lol
time to intercept moar
@DestinyAviation use xml editor. Go to the gun. Add something like "damage" for name and insert any value in it.
Rammed into this thing at max speed with a ME-262, damages?
Two broken propellers... ME-262 was obliterated
@Weaverfish Great build! How did you edit the damage values for the guns?
Loved it
@503rdAirborneSoldier of course not! Go crazy.
@Weaverfish
Hey, do ya mind if I make some variants off of this one?
@Oski Definitely - have some more bombers in the works.
Quite easy to take out if you hit it just right with your messer @Weaverfish
@Weaverfish Will you make more of AI bombers to go with your fighters? I would love to see B5N Kate or B29 shoot by me. Also I shot some planes with rear gunner while flying this. Sadly I can only fight with 150 and less parts planes...
I shot this down with some Guardians...but couldn't do it with guns.
@Weaverfish It looks like it had something to do with the wings, ot tail, didnt take much.
@Rodrigo110 Just two weeks ago before I had enough and deleted it, then had to go through hoops to get the malware Gaijin puts on your computer. And it was pretty pathetic, B17s are target practice, thats all.
@TheOwlAce I couldn't figure out exactly why that was happening, if anyone did discover the cause I'd delete this and reupload.
No... I don’t know when you played it, but in the current game the B17 is defintetly able to take a massive amount of damage before being destroyed @TheOwlAce
@Rodrigo110 PHHHHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA Youre joking right? When I was playing that shitty game I would get constantly one shotted in the B17.
A B17 can take a massive beating in WT, but bombers like the Wellington and Stirling are extremely easy to take out @TheOwlAce
It had a habit of just falling out of the sky from one hit.
In warthunder it just take one hit to knock out a bomber :P
spawns 28 in formation
dies
Yay, something else to blow up!
Will this spawn in with air traffic on?
I love how people make planes meant to be flown by AI. Looks nice and has low part count!
