The BEST Game You FORGOT About - BOMBER CREW!

[@Redm64Official]

Dude I have been playing this game for YEARS, every once in awhile I like to jump on and actually enjoy being in a bomber, warthunder, take notes

[@Redm64Official]

I remember my first play though I had one crew and bomber survive all the way to the end, then tragically crash on the last mission on the way home, I almost cried. Their sacrifice will be remembered.

[@Redm64Official]

Oh and last thing, could you name the mechanic Pat McVay? He was a air mechanic in WW2, and fairly well known in Montana for hunters education

[@JustInTimeFrog]

Felt that so hard 😢​@@Redm64Official

[@JustInTimeFrog]

​@@Redm64Official good suggestion!

[@cyberfutur5000]

@@Redm64Official Feck mate, I fell you. I think the same thing happened to me once, but most of the crew survived the bail out (tho it wasn't the complete starting crew, and maybe just maybe it was in the microprose B17 game^^) But it really hurts when you loose a crew member, especially after a while. I wish more games could make you feel attached to your crew like BC does.

[@kolos0139]

bomber crew is so fire. oh god put it out put it out aaaaand there goes an engine. good thing we brought four.

[@kolos0139]

2:50 kittyyy! :D

[@yurxalot1715]

God the hell of being swarmed by fighters infinitely spawning from an airfield that your objective is to bomb, was both amazing and terrifying. Trying to extinguish and repair all the engines while trying to focus on the bombing, with every spare moment being used to target planes.

[@GO0DWOLF]

Q: If you lose all four, how far can you make it? A: All the way to the scene of the crash.

[@saldiven2009]

It reminds me of a less historically accurate, chibi version of B-17 Flying Fortress that came out in 1992. I spent literally hours playing that game with friends until all hours of the night back then. It had significant elements of flight simulator, especially during take off and landing, and while you could time advance when there was no threat of flak or interceptors, you could just as well manually control the entire 7-hour bomb run from take-off to landing, if you so chose. When you got shot at, damage was recorded all over the place. All for engines, all ten crewmen, every control surface, all of the guns, etc. were eligible to get damaged. Crewmembers could be injured and be out for months or killed, requiring replacement crew to be obtained. It even had a simulator for the Norden bomb sight to use during the bombing run itself as well as the ability to take over any of the gun positions for first person shooting at enemy fighters. The player controlled the "lead bomber" in the formation, so none of the other bombers in the group would release their payload until the player released his. Since you fly in formation, it was possible to friendly-fire the other bombers in your group, so that was another thing to pay attention to.

[@robkitchen5344]

Obviously you failed history.. the crew is some kind of bad joke... Infact they should have made the Nazi pilots African because like you said ... historically accurate.... Dumb

[@nestorgonzalez2912]

The Mighty Eight?

[@saldiven2009]

@@nestorgonzalez2912 Nope. The game was called B-17 Flying Fortress: World War II Bombers in Action released by MicroProse in 1992. B-17 Flying Fortress: The Mighty 8th was released in 2000. It was a sequel to the 1992 game. Edit: LoL. I just looked, and the 1992 original game is available on Steam for $8.99.

[@peterabel81]

This video that randomly popped to my YT immediately time travelled me 30+ years back to B17 Flying Fortress. I am glad to find a felllow here! I was playing that game alone, my friends, although played lot more than I did, were never into simulators unfortunately. Bandits!

B-17 Flying Fortress: World War II Bombers in Action?

[@shiny4984]

i've never forgotten this game since the day it came out i've been following and wanting to buy it for YEARS and i've never been more excited for video releases from people covering it, thank you so much for doing so!! This game is unlike many others, once you've flown enough missions you start bonding deeply with your crew, it's like you're in the sims (except your "sims" are bombing germany and shooting aircraft instead of killing themselves on the stove) and every upgrade, every little change in your bomber and crew needs to be carefully chosen, maybe that slight % less speed will be the end of your run, or maybe it's worth the slight % extra damage you deal, maybe the crew survivability isn't worth the added weight you'll bring... you'll never know until you're out there and those stats matter the most, and every loss you suffer is like a stab to your heart, your favorite crew that's been with you for the entire game, survived hundreds of flights no matter how dire conditions are.. one *unlucky* little grazing bullet and just like that, you're forced to return home with 1 less soul on board, THAT really makes you cry

[@MCLuviin]

So you have the game or you dont have it yet?

I NEVER FORGOT I LOVED THIS WHEN IT WAS ACTUALLY POPULAR ON YT

[@clockco1362]

man this game is a classic! the studio released a second game that I heard good things about

[@JustInTimeFrog]

Space crew! Ive tried it. If you like this, youll probably like space crew as well. Theres a third game coming soon called Badlands Crew. Its loke a mad max version of this

[@RuralProgressive]

This game gives me so much anxiety as a warthunder player, but I do love it

[@Remi-the-Angel]

I genuinely love this game, it's super fun and intense at times

[@theworkshopwhisperer.5902]

Hard mode US Air Force is no joke I am legitimately soft locked it's so hard after breezing through the main games campaign. Don't get me wrong this is a good thing! You get your best bomber crew gameplay when everything goes wrong. I can't wait for the third game in the series. This but Mad Max and I can't wait for the full customization.

[@KRDecade2009]

The Graff Zeppelin was actually finished by the time the war ended. But by the time she was finished the Soviets were near by, the Germans attempted to scuttle it and it failed. The ship fell to soviet hands.. However instead of taking the carrier as at the time the Soviets didn’t have one they used it as dive bombing practice while it wasn’t moving which resulted in mostly misses. (This was post war) She now rests at the bottom of the Baltics just outside of Germany. However there was another ship that was supposed to be a carrier, the heavy cruiser Seydlitz. She was laid up in 42 for carrier conversion and can you guess what happened? It didn’t happen. Resources were taken away from to beef up Tirpitz and she just sat at the dock just waiting for her conversion.

[@Partially_Frozen]

Oh AWESOME! I absolutely loved watching a couple youtubers play this game YEARS ago, thanks for reminding it to buy it for myself, especially with it being on sale. Fantastic video man. Appreciate ya!

[@HOTDOG401]

I did EVERYTHING to keep these guys alive...loose one guy and I just resented the replacement.... Love the cat.

[@HudsonDoesYoutube]

Thanks bro! I hadn’t heard of this game so I watched you play it and decided to buy it on steam for 3 bucks, and it was one of the best purchases of my life. Thank you.

[@soulless_Steps]

Not sure if you know this but the crew are all assigned hot keys. just 1-9 or 1-7 depending on weather or not your playing the DLC or not, to me at least it makes it much faster to get commands out that way

[@JustInTimeFrog]

I'm aware, but I'm terrible when it comes to pressing the wrong key 😂

[@cyberfutur5000]

The hotkeys are really the key, when I was good at the game I played it like I was playing piano^^ Nowadays when I jump back into it I play it like an old man, with mostly the mouse and everyone dies, all the time. Same goes for playing it with a gamepad, it's just to slow. Knowing the hotkeys makes the game just very stressful instead of very stressful and frustrating :D

[@itsamine4840]

I got this game on my switch like almost when it came out and oh my my teenage self was not ready for the trauma.

[@corran100]

Don't forget Space Crew, and coming soon: Badlands Crew!! Looking forward to this series!!!

[@LucasVerrall]

I only started playing this game again yesterday when I saw a TikTok live with someone playing it when I looked at my old crews I last played 12.1.23

[@ace0fdiamonds]

Dude I used to rack up hours (300+), oftentimes on the shitter, playing this game. This was awesome. [Warning, past this point is the absolute mess of a petarded fellow reminiscing of past exploits (synonymous with "adventure") in video games, typed during a late night at a time where I should be sleeping.] I got to the point where I tried to make everything as historically accurate as possible with equipment(which albeit wasn't much), reduced fuselage protection to Mk.2, always carrying sufficient chutes for the whole crew, half trying to bring the plane down just to see how many I could bail out. One fun thing I would do is make the nose fuselage the lightweight Mk.1, so sometimes it would break off, oftentimes killing the bombardier if you didn't evacuate the compartment soon enough. You also lost the bombsight, so if you didn't already complete the mission you had to abort and (try to) go home. One time it broke off as I was dropping bombs, so they bay doors were stuck open, draining extra fuel. I didn't use engine extinguishers, not exactly because they were a-historical, but because I think using them was at the price of killing the engine irl. Now if I only had one engine left running, I would send crew out on the wing with a parachute to repair. Not trying to sound like I was sweating over a pixel arcade-y bomber game, it was just something I enjoyed when I was younger. It really scratched an itch I had for WWII U.S. bombers, especially with the focus on the crew; something I thought was particularly both bad-ass and greatly deserving of respect for the men who did it. It's also what got me playing War Thunder. I just loved playing the B-25, anticipating unlocking the early B-17Es, and eventually the B-17G in all of its unpainted glory (quick tangent: I also really love the unpainted schemes on American aircraft from that era. The P-51D-5, while the worst performing of the Ds, looks the absolute greatest, unpainted and with the awesome checkered nose. I also got a really sick hidden camo from warbonds for the D-30, called "Big Dick," Maj. Richard A. Hewitt's mustang, unpainted, black and white checkered nose, red accents and 2 dice rolled as fives.) One last thing; during my bomber grind years ago, I found 2 planes that were absolutely meta, yet no one talked about them (probably because they were tier 1 and 2): the B-34 at 2.0(?) with high alt spawn, good guns, defensive turrets, fine turn and good speed, and the SB2U-3 at 1.3 with a high alt spawn, 4 fifty-cals(!!), and a fine turn. Both did well until you lost your alt, then you were a sitting duck. If you've made it this far, I have 2 things to say. First: my apologies for even posting this convoluted mess for the public to see. And second: thank you for sharing in some of my little joys. Have a good one friend.

[@andresiglesiast]

That’s a crazy story! And I was doing (almost) the same thing: prioritize parachutes, limiting armor. I’m definitely gonna try no extinguishers and weak nose. I used to do weak wing armor and mid rear: one time half the left wing sheared off and I had to limp the plane home. It would veer to the side and I needed to make constant corrections with the navigator. I was almost back at the base when the same thing happened to the right wing and the plane fell down before I could parachute the crew. I liked it because I couldn’t take my engines for granted, and fuel economy became important if too many engines were done or if I had to patch a fuel tank. Got a few crews wiped out, and lost a lot of individual members because there weren’t enough health kits. Glad to know I’m not the only weirdo doing these tweaks for the heck of it. 😊

[@Leo_nonA]

Haven’t seen this in YEARS

[@anthonykodaski6161]

This game is actually so fun although the B-17 campaign was so fucking difficult to get through. But this was a really fun game and I definitely do recommend it for anyone who haven’t played it yet

[@merekcook573]

I've been sad about the lack of coverage for this game for years. I've never been able to see a full play through. I'm happy to follow along this whole series.

There was a similar game in the '80's, can't even remember which console. Much simpler but still a great game, like this one.

i never forget this game, especially when times are tough and you think you can make it but then an enemy rips your wing of because you forgot to upgrade the wing fuselage

[@cyberfutur5000]

This is one of my favourite games ever, played it like crazy when I was at Uni^^ It's the only game from after my childhood, where I look back at my old "scores" and are like "how the hell did I do that?" Like I have a finished safe where I only lost one crew and no bomber (the key is using the hotkeys, wich I forgot)... Also this was the game that introduced me to Indi games (together maybe with Hyper light drifter), and I've never looked back since.
