Robert, that was a cool crash... errr.....sorry about your pilot's death.
I wouldn't know how to attack a Gotha even to save my life. But I read that slashing shots directed at either engine works better then below and low. *shrug*
Yes, you may be correct, I'm rethinking my approach, and the pilot was just a tester.
Only having one relatively slow firing machinegun doesn't help the prospect of getting it done quickly, either.
