B-17 Flying Fortress : The Mighty 8th Redux

The game is janky but I wouldn't say that it's bad. the AI does sometimes feel like it's copy and pasted from the original 2000 game and while it isn't the prettiest graphically (apart from maybe the bomber itself) it gets the job done. Gameplay wise I would say it is as advertised. You fly to your target and try not to get shot down by flak or enemy fighters (maybe shoot down some fighters yourself if you're lucky), then you drop your payload and try to get your aircraft home with all ten crewmembers alive. However be aware that this can get repetetive quite quickly. I would conlude that if you are looking for a game about the flying fortress the game is worth a try, though waiting for a sale isn't a bad idea as the 15 euro price point is a bit steep.

I wanna like it, I really do. When it works, it's a good bit of nostalgic fun. But, it often bugs out something terrible, wasting all the time you spent on a mission, just to try again and hope whatever bug pissed it off doesn't happen again.

Unfortunately, since the last update, the game has quite a few graphical issues: the ground renders incorrectly, and glitches occur. Bombers also display visual artifacts in certain areas when viewed up close. The game still requires a lot of polishing.

Really like what you have done to upgrade game. It seems my P-47 pilots like their whiskey too much, they never make it off the ground. The new update 1.0.21, I cannot run game in detail. It locks up and still pauses when running in balanced. I have 8gb ram and 4gb video card. Is it time for me to upgrade my computer?

Updated graphics and gameplay

For anyone who loved the original this is a steal at the early access price. The current verion 1.0.21.1 includes a bunch of improvements, but most notable for me are the improved land tetures snd sky. Another plus for me is that the dev team, are planning to build tools to support comminity mods. Its easy to tell from the release notes that the dev team care about doing the orighinal justice, and im excited to see what they add next. B17 imo was ahead of its time and from what i remember was orignially planned to have an online multiplayer component where all B17 crew stations could be manned by players. Its too bad that we will have to wait for the VR sequel to get this.
