Once upon a time the heavy bombers used to only get escorted by the 2 top fighters of each nation.

As I write this I've been escorting Lancasters with Spitfire V's, which are not quite top 2 material!!

Are the bombers now all linked to hte exp of the fighters instead of the previous system?

Was this a sly change?

Sorry, I guess I missed this one the first time through. The answer to your question is that bombers have always been linked to the "unlock XP" of the fighters that escort them. I guess with all the adjustments made recently due to the damage bonus, the fighters that qualify for escorting the Heavy Bombers has shifted.

If you guys are finding that the lower level fighters can't handle the Heavy Bombers (either as escorts or as interceptors), then we can always adjust the value of the Heavy Bombers upwards a bit to bring things back into balance.

I'm sure that the published XP levels for hte heavy bombers have never been the ones where they become available - it's always only ever been to the top 2 fighters of each nation.

But yes, the Spit VC is a bit overwhelmed by trying to dogfight at high and very high against 4 foe!! :(
