Description
Savourez le plaisir de piloter un véritable B-17 ! Découvrez ce que vivaient les équipages de 10 hommes en mission de bombardement au-dessus de l'Europe occupée. Des graphismes, des animations et des sons réalistes reconstituent de manière convaincante tous les aspects des batailles aériennes stratégiques de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. 25 scénarios vous attendent, dans lesquels vous devrez gérer les forces et les faiblesses de votre équipe tout en mettant vos talents de pilote et de leader à l'épreuve. Ces hommes sont sous vos ordres, et c'est votre devoir de capitaine d'accomplir votre mission et de les ramener tous vivants au pays.
Ce jeu est une perle de la simulation. L'attention aux détails et l'authenticité historique des missions vous donneront vraiment l'impression de combattre lors de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Contrôlez n'importe quel membre d'équipage et découvrez l'action à travers les yeux d'un pilote, d'un artilleur ou d'un officier de communications. Vous pouvez aussi prendre les commandes d'un appareil d'escorte, comme le P-38 Lightning, le P-51 Mustang ou encore le P-47 Thunderbolt. De plus, vous pouvez maintenant changer de camp et combattre la "Mighty Eight" dans la peau d'un pilote allemand de la Luftwaffe, pour mieux comprendre pourquoi on qualifiait le B-17 de "forteresse volante".
Intégrez l'un des dix rangs de l'équipage de l'une des plus puissantes machines mortelles de la Seconde Guerre mondiale : le B-17 Flying Fortress.
Plus de 25 missions réalistes, basées sur des faits historiques, dans lesquelles vous devrez mener votre équipe à la victoire.
Les détails minutieux, la superbe modélisation des appareils et des dégâts, et l'exactitude historique donnent à ce jeu une grande valeur éducative.
Veuillez noter que le système d’exploitation Windows 10 recevra de fréquentes mises à jour du pilote et du logiciel après sa sortie; ceci pourra affecter la compatibilité de votre jeu.

I had the privilege of covering the development of this game for CNET's now defunct Gamecenter.com, and spent a couple of days with the development team at Wayward.
I have never ever met a team more dedicated and more driven to produce the best product they could, and that dedication shows through B-17 Flying Fortress. Even now, nearly 12 years later, it still stands the test of time as being one of the most immersive and historically accurate flight and crew management sims ever made. At this price, it's a steal!
One of the last truly great games that Microprose churned out.
The game has 2 campaigns as well as single and training missions. The two campaigns are single aircraft or squadron mode. In squadron mode you chose the targets for the missions and set the waypoints and prey it all goes to plan by manning any aircraft in the group. Single aircraft is where the game shines most. You are in command of a single bomber. you choose your nose art and craft name you can even name your crew. Then receive your missions and fly them. You have to deal with anything from manually cranking down gear after hydraulics are shot up to giving aid to a wounded crew member. As missions progress and the more you man a position the better that crew member gets at their job.
As a massive fan of the original on the Amiga I really enjoyed this game and still have a boxed copy.
If you are interested in ww2 and aviation history give it a try
A flight sim where you'll do very little actual flying...
To begin with, I'd like to share some tips about the game I found useful:
1) Use a gamepad or joystick; at least I found controlling the planes and turrets with keys alone hopelessly clumsy
2) Print the manual; you'll most likely need to consult it an awful lot in the beginning
3) Realize that this game is complex; it'll take more than playing through the tutorials to know how to truly handle the B-17
That said, B-17: The Mighty 8th is the worthy successor to my all-time favourite flying sim on the Amiga; a successor that retains most of the good in the original, and adds many new things that are mostly good. Compared to the predecessor, The Migthy 8th ups the complexity factor to the second power, but at the same time makes the AI a whole lot smarter, thus balancing things out. And a good AI is a necessity in a game like this: instead of commanding a single-pilot fighter, the focus on the game is on commanding the 10-man crew of perhaps the most legendary bomber of WW2. Your crew, with you being able to jump into any position at any time, must man the guns, navigate, drop the bombs and fly the plane. Naturally, you can obviously man only one position at a time, so the AI handles the rest, including the flying; the only thing it seems to suck totally at is dropping the bombs on target. In fact, like the first game, The Mighty 8th is an interesting flight simulator in the sense that you'll probably end up doing very little actual flying if any because, frankly, flying the heavy B-17 bomber is tedious. The only semi-interesting things are take-offs and landings, but they get repetitive quickly. The interesting bit is operating the Norden bomb sight to drop the bombs and man the guns when enemy fighters attack, and crew management when things go wrong.
Apart from the gunnery, which the AI can handle adequately but is just something that's fun to do, the player's main responsibility is seeing to that the bombs go where they need to go, and manage the crew when things go wrong: sending men to extinguish fires, tend to the wounded and repair equipment. Sounds simple enough, but when you're attacked by vicious fighters, a fire breaks out and someone is wounded, it's hectic: you need to get someone away from their positions to deal with the problems, meaning less guns to shoot down the Jerries; you can't damn well command the navigator away from his position lest you get lost, and sending away either pilot is risky because if the other one goes down, who's to fly the plane? It is situations like this that are the best moments in the game: the ability to make tough decisions under pressure and see to it that the plane and its crew get home safe. But The Mighty 8th has an important lesson to teach: in war, no matter how good you are, a single moment of bad luck may be your doom. Even if you manage to avoid flak, shoot down fighters and drop the bombs on target, your friends may for example shoot down a fighter that comes crashing into you, or a falling B-17 may tear off your wing, or a nazi fighter may get in a lucky shot and cripple you. In this sense The Mighty 8th is both frustrating and realistic: there is no surefire recipe for success.
In addition to the B-17 bombers, the game allows you to fly fighter jets of both sides, which I frankly don't enjoy half as much as flying a bomber, and play a full-scale squadron commander campaign. All in all, with interesting gameplay and (for its time) very nice and cinematic visuals (Memphis Belle fans take heed!), The Mighty 8th is very highly recommended to everyone into a challenging, complex and tough war game/flight sim. Be aware that it has its share of bugs, though: sometimes it seems to "forget" the customized controls, and occasionally a wounded crew member may get stuck in a position where he cannot be tended to. Despite these bugs, The Mighty 8th is an excellent game.
I love this game for sentimental reasons. My grandfather was a crew member on one of the first B-17s sent to England as part of the 8th Air Force. I grew up listening to him tell his war stories, wondering what it was really like. I remember playing it years ago, naming the plane after my girl, and naming the tail-gunner after my grandfather, as we flew bombing raids over occupied France. This isn’t just a mere game, it’s a simulation. Learning to fly, using the bombsight and other tasks are difficult, but that’s what makes it a good simulation- there is no arcade like simplicity to it. And, this game captures what a combat mission with the 8th actually was (according to my interpretation of it)…mostly boredom en route to and from the target, sandwiching a few minutes of anxiety and terror facing the flak and fighter attacks. Playing this though, I gained a better appreciation of what my grandfather and so many other young men went through. I thought I’d never play this gem again. Thanks GOG, for bringing this game back. Now I can spend the weekend flying over occupied Europe.
When you're flying through flak in a slender metal tube you begin to understand the incredible danger bomber pilots put themselves through on a daily basis. I found this sim quite harrowing at times, and very realistic.
