I few the 17. Enemy two 190D's and an Re2001. I arrived at my target with little damage and completely misjudged the slow speed and missed. 2 of my 3 enemies overshot me a couple of times and collected a lot of damage from the many guns I had. They also found out that head on attacks did work out so well either. I commenced a turn to starboard. Even using the tightest turn cards and short movements it took me 9 cards and I so nearly went off the edge of our table! As I was focusing on this the 190's swooped in for the kill. My gunners killed them both instead. R/L intervened and it was time to go after I managed to damage the target and set my Italian enemy on fire. I collected 20 damage points out of 50 and could not go fast.
Maybe 3 of those Hiens with the massive cannons would have been better opponents from the axis point of view? Maybe I was just lucky. My crew had a blinder that night.
