Commandez une équipe de 10 hommes lors de missions intenses de bombardiers WWII au-dessus de l'Europe occupée par les nazis, dans ce classique de la simulation. Pilotez le B-17 Flying Fortress sous le feu de la DCA et des chasseurs ennemis, en gérant le décollage, la navigation, les passes de bombardement et le tir depuis n'importe quelle position d'équipage comme pilote, navigateur ou mitrailleur de queue. Bouclez une campagne réaliste de 25 missions sur des cibles historiques ou lancez-vous dans des missions Quick Start.
Formez vos escadrilles, évaluez les compétences de votre équipage et gérez les pertes pour survivre aux dogfights et larguer vos bombes. Alternez entre les bombardiers américains tels que le B-17G, le P-51 Mustang ou le P-47 Thunderbolt, ou prenez les commandes de chasseurs allemands comme le Bf 109 pour affronter les escadrons alliés. Les passionnés d'aviation en quête d'un vrai challenge en gestion d'équipage et contrôle de vol multi-positions y trouveront leur bonheur.
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
