B-17 Flying Fortress: World War II Bombers in Action
B-17 Flying Fortress is a World War II simulation centered on operating the titular heavy bomber. Success requires completing a challenging tour of 25 historically accurate missions over Germany, which are assigned randomly.
Gameplay combines flight simulation with direct control over aircraft functions like piloting, gunnery, and bombing. A key layer involves managing a ten member crew, each with individual skill ratings. During missions, personnel can be reassigned to different stations to compensate for injuries sustained in combat.
Prior to embarking, players can personalize their aircraft with a chosen name and nose art.
