[REL] B-17s over Germany !

May I ask the MODERATOR to change the prefix of this thread to "REL" ?

great idea for immersion and great work! but b17 where not the majority. british b24, machesters and wellingtons where the most common bombers over germany maybe you can add those too? and maybe fires in the cities of the harbours would be nice too!

Yes, I plan to do that too. But because my time is limited, I would need someone to do researches about how/where/when these aircrafts were employed, and how they flew together (formations).

Done!

i think its too much work, adding all real dates. i would just add random flights with a group size related to the year. in 1939 add 5 raids, in 1940 15 and so on. in 1945 it might be 50 raids. even that would be work enough! what do you think?

otherwise here is a list of attacks on the uboat harbours

attacks on german cities

And you forgot the Lancaster (rather than the Manchester) !

The things that have to be done precisely is the number of aircrafts and the exact routes of the raids over the seas. Dates are not so important.

if I'm out in the Atlantic , where would I see High altitude B17"s. Even if I depart Lorant. I would assume there departing from England.

You may see them above the North Sea. At the end of the war, French harbours are no more available.
