So it’s the Dwarf Fortress and EVE Online of bombing simulators where reading stories about people playing it is far more entertaining than actually playing it.
Hardly EVE online. That’s just Brooski being Brooski. :)
Picked this up during the sale.
Had some fun with it. The whole “your plane and crew don’t matter” part really starts dragging it down though. The fun of B17: Queen of the Skies, 50 Mission Crush, and Oregon Trail was taking your guys through hell and back and the tension that came with possibly losing them, seeing who makes it through all the way to the end. If any of those games just replaced everyone with clones when they died, even when you wipe, they wouldn’t be nearly as interesting.
Bomber Crew misses the whole point that these games are about telling a story. I’d love to see a mod or expansion that drastically shortens the campaign, but puts in Iron Man permadeath. 50 Mission Crush was game over for the campaign if you, the pilot, died or were captured, so go with that.
