Sure you can. It hits a fuel pump line which then fills the nacel with gas which then explodes. Or you hit a gunner's ammo box which then chain-reacts and tears the plane in half.

Again, that would be very lucky with 20mm, but typical with 30mm mine rounds.

And a 5.56 is going to penertrate the armour of a B-17 is it? It must not have had very good armour.

And 3-6 20mm rounds in the gunners ammo box...funny how there was an attempt to say a bomber could be brought down with a lower calibre round then saying that a higher calibre would be lucky with 3-6 rounds, to do the same.

I was telling that to RG, who said you could bring one down with a single 5.56 round. The B-17 was armoured, so you couldn't.

You got to love experts...really, people like Blackwolf should just stop and get back to modelling.

I know, but how is Blackwolf being an expert?


I really haven't been paying much attention, just trying to back up my opinions...
