Lidere uma tripulação de 10 homens em missões intensas de bombardeiros da Segunda Guerra Mundial sobre a Europa ocupada pelos nazistas neste clássico dos simuladores. Pilote o B-17 Flying Fortress sob fogo antiaéreo e caças inimigos, gerenciando decolagens, navegação, ataques a bombas e artilharia a partir de qualquer posto da tripulação, como piloto, navegador ou atirador de cauda. Conclua uma campanha realista de 25 missões com alvos históricos ou mergulhe direto nas tarefas Quick Start.
Planeje formações, avalie as habilidades da tripulação e lide com baixas para sobreviver a dogfights e entregar as cargas explosivas. Alterne entre bombardeiros americanos como o B-17G, P-51 Mustang ou P-47 Thunderbolt, ou comande caças alemães como o Bf 109 contra esquadrões aliados. Entusiastas da aviação que buscam gerenciamento autêntico de tripulação e controle de voo em múltiplas posições vão adorar o desafio.
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.
