Hi, I wonder what impact altitude has. I always fly at 9k. (I think at 9k I am above the small cal AA) I think the AA at Lunga must be pretty tough.

Chiteng, You can see B-17's do get shot down.
Another PBEM this one is scenario 17 date 4-26-43 B-17E lost=103

Group-AC(pilots)Exp-Missions
28th 9(12) 68 45
30th 9(12) 69 37
31st 9(13) 63 24
42nd 11(34) 67 40
63rd 10(12) 74 39
64th 9(12) 73 27
65th 9(12) 64 28
394th 9(21) 65 20
400th 10(12) 68 6
431st 11(12) 77 37
435th 9 (14) 68 27

49.5 percent loss rate. (105 on map plus 103 lost=208 total)
2.28 ac lost per mission=roughly 2 percent loss per mission

Sizes of last 7 B-17 attacks 89-45-94-83-84-94-101
