About This Game

The missions undertaken by the crews of B-17 bombers during World War II are the stuff of legend. What was it like to fly through relentless anti-aircraft fire over Nazi-occupied Europe? What was it like to have a thin layer of steel between life and death at 15,000 feet? How did it feel to furiously fend off enemy fighters zipping around your plane and then to precisely deliver your payload over enemy targets?

Find out for yourself as you lead a 10-man crew to victory... or defeat... against squadrons of Nazi warplanes in the legendary B-17 Flying Fortress!

I wanted to take comand over a BOMBER, manage crew, drop bombs and fly a plane..... But the controls are so difficult! The bombs dropped on their own on the bomber tutorial and i learned nothing. I tought "learn by doing" and started a campain. The plane took of on its own, wich was fine science i don't know the over complicated controls to fly it. I saw the harbour in the bombsight and nothing hapend, the bombs did not drop... and wich button is the bombs drop one? i have no clue? does such button exists? i have no clue. And can you set up the bomber sight to "auto drop" i have no clue..... Unless the game gets more player friendly and a bit more simplified UI i dont think it is playable. Wich is to bad! I love the concept of it.
