Ok, I know it's going to suck without any mods, but wow. I have to get started at the beginning to have any real hope of bombing a target. (Which is admittedly better than a B29, most of the time) I did not expect a late start to mean that I would get intercepted by jets and even props before I could drop on one of the target bases.

Another thing I did not expect is that (at least in the few times I've yet flown my B57A) it seems jet fighter pilots are not opposed to ramming you when they run out of ammo, if you dodge enough of their shots. I had one yesterday wait until I was landing and ram me at the airfield.

I specifically saved 2K gold eagles just to buy the talisman for this plane, but am holding off at least for now.
