B-17 Flying Fortress

The B-17 Flying Fortress is an American Heavy Bomber that appears in Call of Duty: The War in the Pacific.

Performance
The B-17 is a slow, cumbersome, heavily armed and armored aircraft, and is a monster to slow moving targets. Any sizable slow moving target will be quickly destroyed if even a single B-17 gets overhead, and Land Installations, especially airfields and shipyards, are extremely vulnerable. Lightly armed planes like the Ki-43 Oscar are also useless against a B-17 due to the heavy amount of machine guns found on this aircraft. The only plane that is effective against the B-17 is the J2M Raiden, which can devestate a B-17 if it can get close enough. Overall the B-17 is a devestating weapon against almost all targets.
