Führen Sie eine 10-köpfige Crew durch intensive Bomber-Missionen im Zweiten Weltkrieg über dem von Nazis besetzten Europa - ein Klassiker der Simulationsszene. Steuern Sie die B-17 Flying Fortress durch Flak-Feuer und feindliche Jäger, managen Sie Start, Navigation, Bombenangriffe und Schießstande von jeder Crew-Position aus, sei es als Pilot, Navigator oder Heckanschütze. Erfüllen Sie eine realistische 25-Mission-Kampagne mit historischen Zielen oder springen Sie direkt in Quick Start-Aufgaben.
Planen Sie Formationen, bewerten Sie Crew-Fähigkeiten und kümmern Sie sich um Verluste, um Dogfights zu überleben und die Bombenlast abzuwerfen. Wechseln Sie zwischen US-Bombern wie der B-17G, P-51 Mustang oder P-47 Thunderbolt oder steuern Sie deutsche Jäger wie die Bf 109 gegen alliierte Staffeln. Aviation-Fans, die echtes Crew-Management und Multi-Position-Flugsteuerung suchen, kommen hier voll auf ihre Kosten.
The missions undertaken by the crews of B-17 bombers during World War II are the stuff of legend. What was it to fly through relentless anti-aircraft fire over Nazi-occupied Europe? What was it to have a thin layer of steel between life and death at 15,000 feet? Furiously fend off enemy fighters zipping around your plane and then precisely deliver your cargo of bombs over enemy targets?
Find out for yourself as you lead a 10-men crew to victory... or defeat... against squadrons of Nazi warplanes in the legendary B-17 Flying Fortress!
A WWII Campaign to fight and survive through
Carry out a realistic 25-missions tour of duty based on historically accurate scenarios and targets, or Take to the skies in "Quick Start" assignments with available Instant Action mode. Plan real missions, select authentic flying formations, and manage both crews and bombers. Assess your crew's strengths and skills to effectively re-position members and cope with wounded personnel and casualties.
It’s a 10-men job
Take to the skies in any one of ten B-17 Flying fortress crew positions: Pilot, Co-Pilot, Navigator, Bombadier/Chin Turret Gunner, Radio Operator, Engineer/Top Turret Gunner, Port Waist Gunner, Starboard Waist Gunner, Ball Gunner, and Tail Gunner! Take total control: Take-off, land, shoot from various crew positions, navigate across a realistically mapped Europe, operate the radio, line up the bomb run, release the bombs and bail out if necessary.
