In addition to the bomber itself, B allows you to fly three escort fighters P Lightning, P Thunderbolt, P Mustang and three German interceptors Messerschmidt Bf, Focke Wulf, Messerschmidt Jet , although none of these aircraft offer the features one would expect in a pure fighter sim.
You start in the air and your world revolves around the bombers in the neighbourhood. This game is therefore a complex mix of flight simulator, crew management simulator and role playing game; at its highest level the game even allows you to manage a whole twelve aircraft squadron of the Eighth Air Force, with all the resource and personnel management issues involved, such as deciding when to give your crews a break or whether to replace a battle-fatigued but competent tailgunner with a fresh rookie.
Inevitably Wayward have had to make compromises to fit this ambitious package into a workable game. Have they succeeded?
The B is modelled well - from the shiny metallic skin to the tiny catwalk through the bomb bay. Looking from outside you can see the pilots sitting in the cockpit and the waist gunners peering from their positions, while inside the crew move about the cramped interior convincingly.
There are six compartments - nose, cockpit, bomb bay, radio room, waist and tail - and you will spend a lot of time in them watching the crew go through their tasks, while adding some of your own. Damaged by flak after the bomb run? Order the bombardier to man the chin turret, while the left waist gunner manually cranks the jammed bomb bay doors and the ball gunner gives first aid to the radio operator.
There are two other main views inside the bomber - the action view and the instrument view. The gunners' action view is their gunsight, while their instrument view is merely a check of how much ammunition they have.
The two most complicated views are those of the navigator and bombardier. The navigator has to keep the aircraft on course over hundreds of miles of enemy territory, and unless you have navigation set to flawless or have a very experienced navigator you will spend a lot of time in this view comparing the map with landmarks you can see on the ground and updating your position. Given that you can start the campaign in December and experience nine-tenths cloud cover this is quite a task.
The bombardier has to aim using the Norden bombsight, by far the best part of the game. As you approach the target you will get a met report from the radio operator and will have to decide if the target can be hit. Then you must acquire the target through the cloud and stabilise the gyroscopic bombsight on the target, with allowances for altitude and wind drift.
This is not as complicated as it seems, though it gets harder when flak bursts fill your bombsight, the nose compartment is filling with smoke, and the navigator just three feet away has a fragment of iron sticking out of his chest and needs urgent attention. As you will have gathered, this game is more of a combat simulation than a flight simulation. The pilot seat is perhaps the least-occupied seat of the game, partly because of the restricted view and the inability to see out of the window and see the panel at once, and partly because the flight model is not great.
There seems to be no appreciable difference between a fully-loaded B and an empty one, though damage to the plane is well reflected in increased handling difficulties.
Those looking to fly the B full time will have to look elsewhere. If flying the B is unsatisfying, flying the fighters is best described merely as an entertaining diversion.
