MAJOR CHANGES

I've made a few changes to beef up the defensive fire of the B-17.

Previously, BANDITS have been able to inflict serious damage and a lot of RATTLED results before getting inside the 8 radius and being vulnerable to the defensive fire.

I've done all the following:-

• Doubled the FP of the B-17s guns to 8 and 16 FP
• Raised the starting ML of a fresh crew to 8ML - not 7. Replacements still join as 7ML
• I have 4 radii now with +2, +1, +0 and -1 DRM to the FTC
• If the target is so close that your fire originates inside it's counter square outline, you count -2 FTC and ignore DEFLECTION DRM

Now, an 8ML gunner engaging a BANDIT at 12 range that is banking and climbing but head on (nearly always is) while NIC can fire on a DR <= 7. BANKING/CLIMBING BANDITS also add +2 to their FTC, thereby reducing their threat especially if they do get RATTLED.

This is a big swing in favour of the B-17 but from recent play tests they need it.
