Will there be a dynamic campaign?
B-17 has a dynamic campaign. That campaign is rooted in historic fact, not in pointless guess work and banal abstraction.
A dynamic campaign is any series of missions that follow in linear progression, but where the campaign engine generates new missions based on realtime data.
B-17 takes the current state of the war and the strategic imperatives of the 8th Airforce and conducts a bombing campaign. If the player is sent to Schweinfurt, and he clobbers it, then Schweinfurt is off the list for a good while. If the player is sent to Schweinfurt and the mission doesn't go according to plan, then sure as eggs is eggs another mission to Schweinfurt at a later date is on the cards.
In addition there's the Squadron Commander mode where the player himself plans his own missions. The player determines the dynamism of the campaign by deciding how much data he'll study before planning the next mission.
