B-17F Variant here

• The Defensive bombers series’ aim is to make killing AI bomber targets 10x more difficult, because fun is not allowed. This is done by giving them the ability to shoot back at you >:). All bombers have a semi realistic armament with semi realistic ranges, muzzle velocities, and firing arcs.
• (Wiki)
  The Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress is an American four-engined heavy bomber aircraft developed in the 1930s for the United States Army Air Corps (USAAC). A fast and high-flying bomber, the B-17 was used primarily in the European Theater of Operations and dropped more bombs than any other aircraft during World War II. It is the third-most produced bomber of all time, behind the American four-engined Consolidated B-24 Liberator and the German multirole, twin-engined Junkers Ju 88. The B-17 was also employed in transport, anti-submarine warfare, and search and rescue roles.

Notes

• Le classic US bomber, which I for some reason haven't actually done until now with the exception of the British one in the original YB-40 post.
• It's called a flying fortress for a reason, new system helps so that you don't get instantly obliterated but the 70 turrets on it don't. But still,

Enjoy getting obliterated!
