Bomber crew walkthrough1/10/2024 ![]() ![]() Last enemy effort – there should be squadron of Me 163s attacking you.Even if there are clouds on high altitude, very soon you will see the stars, pick up correct waypoint and head home straight. Don’t be afraid if clouds block navigation, you should fly west or north or northwest.Now mechanic should repair motor if have to, then man his station and use Lean everytime possible. If you pick up the medkit and click on wounded one, will be healed very fast. Use radioman and medkits to heal all crewmen. It’s the key, as they are doing most damage to our bomber. Again – get rid of Me 262s aiming rockets on you.But do it only when Focus, Incendiary or HE are on cooldown. Pilot can use Corkscrew and Avoid Flak.Navigator has to stay this station when boost is working. When bombs away, navigator to mechanic station and use Boost immediately.Meanwhile you are over second airfield: again, bombardier to aiming station, bomb the airfield through the clouds, close bay doors, back to nose turret.Don’t waste these ammo bonuses for different targets. Rinse and repeat with HE ammo, even if Focus is on cooldown. Most important: key to the mission: When any Me 262 is going to line in your tail, select tail gunner and use Focus+Incendiary – should be killed before he fires rockets on you.Meanwhile, your engineer is manning upper mid turret and has plenty shooting to do. This is taking only few seconds and you need these engines. You don’t have man the engi station, only click the extinguisher button. If any engine is on fire, navigator is closest to engi station and has to click engine extinguisher and back to the map.Now is critical time – if you timed all right, Spits are helping much and soon will go home.Bombardier to nose turret, navigate next waypoint.Not that easy from high altitude, but can be done. Tag three starting enemy fighters from the ground and the target airfield next to them.Use Auto Tag and use it everytime the cooldown goes down. Now hell is opening the gates – beware, focus on the tasks.Bombardier to the aiming device, open doors, prepare two bomb.When you pass optional photo target on your right, you are close to the target – call the spitfires now.Now the mechanic should man upper mid turret. There will be one Me 262, easy kill with focus+incendiary. Fill up midship turrets and nose turrets with 3 pcs. ![]() Right after the take off, set high alt.This mission is surely impossible to be done with enemy ace on your tail. Do it by completing easy missions with ace in the area. Aces: You have to get rid of all aces.Bonuses: Enemy damage down is minimum bonus, best would be along with Enemy armour down.Gunners, bombardier and pilot heaviest possible flak vests and helms, mechanic medium armor, so navi and radio. All crew have to be fitted with heated boots and gloves, to stay high altitude.Best is when Radioman is a healer as secondary. Radioman must be able to call in the Spits, good if he’s mechanic as well to fire up Boost when returning home. Navigator MUST HAVE ability to navigate by the stars. Gunners have to use at least Focus + Incendiary, best if are 12 lvl. Instead, take 9 x medkits and 3 x extinguisher Don’t bother with parachutes as well – you wan’t to make it safe home, with all aboard. Don’t bother with pigeon and dinghy – they just taking precious kilograms, and you don’t want crash anyway. Radar Mk.6, hydraulics and electric system as good as weight allows. Tail turred quad 0.50 belt fed, mid turrets quad. Motors: outer standard mk.5, inner lightweights mk.3 to ensure optimal weight. You have to have best armour on all fuselage sections.

The sighting station on display was used on the B-29 Superfortress Command Decision. The B-29's complex, revolutionary defensive gunnery system featured five sighting stations which could selectively fire the four remote gun turrets and the manned tail turret. This walk-through B-29 fuselage is painted to represent the Command Decision. Note: Visitors are permitted to walk through this aircraft.Ĭommand Decision was a 28th Bomb Squadron, 19th Bomb Group B-29 that became famous for shooting down five MiG-15s, unofficially making it a bomber "ace."
