![]() If they ditch in Europe, the “death” chance is increased proportionally to how far into Europe they are. If they roll above their survival stats, they drown and are classified M.I.A (missing in action). If your crew ditch in the sea, their “death” chance is 100%, and is then pitted against the crewman’s sea survivability stat in an rng roll. The Combined Survival Vest Mk1 is the best item for crew survivability, giving 30 points to land and sea survival. If your crew bail out, they will have a chance to survive and fly out on another dangerous sortie where they can get downed again! Fun! A crewman’s chance of survival is determined by the gear they have equipped and if they are near the crashed bomber, assuming that your bomber has either a dinghy or a pigeon upgrade for ditching in the sea and on land respectively. If you lose your bomber, try to only do low or medium risk missions, and the duration doesn’t matter because leaning is a skill. If you lose your crew during the crash, gear them first. What gets upgraded after that depends on your personal perferrences. My personal buy order after this is an engine extinguisher mk 1, upgraded hydraulics and getting a better dorsal turret, as it gets the most visual on enemy fighters and subsequently is very important to your survival. ![]() If your bomber is destroyed during a mission, you will get a replacement bomber with decent upgrades, albeit typically can barely suffice anything over medium risk. It doesn’t need to be in the crosshairs to work. To take a recon photo, have your bombardier in the bomb aiming station, then click the Take Photo button on the right of the dashboard when the area to be reccce’d is anywhere in your sight. If you have spare bombs in your bay, drop them before or after the photo is taken, it doesnt matter which order these steps are taken as you will get an XP bonus for the destruction of the target and the bonus for taking the photo. Otherwise, they can be taken at low altitudes. They can be taken at middle altitudes if your bombardier is high enough level and the cloud cover is low. Recon photos are taken either optionally for a bonus which increases proportianlly to how deep in the campaign you are, or taken as part of a mission such as the Landing Beaches Recon sortie. Personally, I use high altitude only during Grand slam bombing runs. High altitude is highly unrecommended during day, and if your crew has low thermal stats as this is when oxygen and the temperature becomes low. However, when the cloud cover is high, low alitude is required. The optimal altitude is Medium, where a mangable amount of fighters spawn, flak has a low chance of hitting, and no oxygen or thermal boosters needed. AlititudeĪltitude determines the Navigator’s visibility, temperature, oxygen levels, which fighters can spawn and I believe it also affects how many fighters spawn. If your bomber is criticalaly damaged (Most crew below 35% health, 1+ engines on fire and/or 2+ engines missin), prioritise your safety and tag the enemy planes and bombing the target if you have time. The ideal method is to use auto tag and activate your gunner abilities while dropping your bombs. ![]() What to do mainly depends on the condition of the bomber, if your Radio Operator has Auto Tag ready, and if the mission is a Critical Mission or not. Most likely, you will come across a time when there is a ♥♥♥ of untagged planes coming, and you are approaching the bomb target. To prevent this, either don’t mark the navigation marker back to England, or use a custom marker to keep yourself in Europe. If you believe you can defeat an Ace, make sure you do NOT go on or across the English Channel, as when you do, the Ace will retreat. So a LONG time before you start bombing, call in spitfires to assist. The Corkscrew is the best way to avoid fire, but the manoeuvre will make your gunners miss most of the shots they take during it, so only use it while a gunner is using Focus or Defensive.Īces typically spawn after the main objective is completed, for example, if you bomb the last V-1 site in Doodlebug Blitz and theres an Ace in the area, that’s when they will typically spawn. The easiest way to down an Ace is with the help of Spitfires, but since they are typically unlocked mid game (and never get there in time), you will have to rely on your gunners, and manoeuvring your bomber out of the way of fire. Aces fly upgraded planes with higher health, accuracy and consequently are the most able to down your bomber. Aces are the deadliest enemy you will encounter in the skies in a duel.
