Our first full B-17 crew. For now only eight players fit into one, but we are on it. The ball turret shooting everywhere, but where it's supposed to, is being worked on, too. I am sorry for my long absense, Christmas was a really busy time for me.

Its a shame crew can't exchange positions in the game it might have allowed a little more defense against attacking fighters when one gets injured or becomes deceased or the ability for a co pilot man a gun position. I wondering if Ubisoft or a modder would consider seeing they could do a crewed allied and Axis bomber version for IL-2 similarly to what currently Microprose is doing for the redux B17 Mighty 8th sim. It could add another spring in the step for flight simulation, particularly if you could fly and crew various bombers of various the nations and theaters of war. Thanks Fishyyy loved watching the mission.

@Fishyyy 3 ай бұрын

Pretty sure we can enable alive players to crew dead player's guns. Do note, that when a turret gets hit and the gunner dies, the guns usually are also damaged, so re-crewing such a position might not be useful.

Over all after listening to that b17 video and the guy told all the bad points and the good points about the b17 .they lost b17s that just went down with no battle damage at all, but my name sake the same thing.just Hazzards of business. And then maybe the b17 can take more battle damage and under certain circumstances by chance stay in the air to make it back to base . And then the b17 broad wings are more stable. And the b17 was easily flown. And could fly higher . My name sake could fly a lot faster and farther than the b17. It has 2 Bombays to 1 Bombay . The bombay doors roll open and roll closed . There is more space inside. And the Davis air foil wings at the top of my name sake all make the Consolidated B-24 Liberator an awesome improvement over your b17.
