Flyable B-52?

[Stratos 3,192]

Wondering if we have a way to fly Vietnam era (and early if possible) B52s. Last time I tried was in the first series and the results were not pretty good. So my question is, do we have a proper cockpit with a bombsignt that let the player hit the targets?

 

Thanks.

no

and don't forget, they NEVER had bombsights .. it was all done with radar (I had a cousin that was the radar navigator -ie: bombardier- in 52s) Same with the 36 and 47, and the 57 and 58 too.

 

best left to the AI, seriously

I'm not a fan of large aircraft in Strike Fighters but for the B-52 I recommend the stand-in pit done by X Ray (based on the A-6A pit) in the SF1 cockpit section.

Yes that's true but there's something about dropping a wagonload of bombs accurately on target not to mention going Dave on the target from 10000m and for this purposes I use Crusaders bombsight mod, works great and fireworks type of mission accomplished is guaranteed

Will have to keep flying tactical bombers If the Buff is too hard to fly properly.

Fly low, "frying chickens in a barnyard" and drop them like you would do from a phantom. you have 27 bombs to hit the target, someone will do it. That´s not the way it was done in Vietnam, but it works in game for me.

What about the mega pack by Dels with real B-52 pits in them and not a stand in...
