Apart from that, the gameplay is all right. Unfortunately, you do not get any escorts, so you are pretty much on your own. Each member of your crew is trained in one or more fields pertaining to the smooth operation of a bomber, such as gunnery, piloting, first aid, and navigation. Once you've dropped your bombs, you fly home and try to land the plane in one piece. For every mission you take off at your assigned airbase, fly into formation, and move in on your target while fending off enemy fighters and hoping that the flak turrets on the ground don't hit you. Target enemy ground structures using the Norden Bombsight and drop bombs on them.ī-17 does its best to recreate the entire flying experience as accurately as possible. Navigate your airplane and make sure it's going on course. Command a gun turret and defend your plane and your wingmen from German airplanes. Although you are the pilot, you can switch to any other position in the bomber. Microprose's B-17 Flying Fortress gives you the chance to command your own personalized B-17 bomber through twenty-five missions. Twenty-five missions doesn't sound that easy now, does it?
But you still have to worry about German anti-aircraft artillery, and of course their mighty Luftwaffe. Sounds easy, doesn't it? Join a bomber crew, serve for three months at most and then go home? It can't be that bad. The United States gives men the opportunity to leave the war and go home if they fly twenty-five missions with the US 8th Air Force.
