JUICY LUCY'S TRAGIC END

A FLAK HIT in the PILOT COMPARTMENT over ROTTERDAM WIA both pilots and DESTROYED the FLIGHT CONTROLS. B-17 crashed. Uncontrolled bail out - 4 chutes.

I like the way the FLAK scatters about randomly. It is quite fun rolling thru FLAK and seeing if it hits rather than rolling on some table. More nerve wracking and impossible to figure the odds - just gotta run the gauntlet.

I also enjoy the fur-balls as the ESCORTS tangle with the BANDITS - more interesting than 'removing # BANDITS'.

Generally - it's working how I want it too.  A mission takes 20mins to 2 hours depending and I have a high level of automation which helps me not to miss something out.

For now the extra B-17s in the formation have no function though I left them able to place guns and hit location. For now I'm happy just to have them as decoration. They don't drop bombs or place FLAK either.
