![]() ![]() The flight engineer, on the other hand, should wear light clothing, in order to be able to move quickly between stations, repairing damage and performing their duties (which include managing our craft’s fuel supply) on a timely fashion, and our gunners should strive to attain a good mix between protection and speed, as they will need to move between the ammo supplies and their guns from time to time. For instance, the pilot, the radio operator and the navigator will spend most of the time sitting at their respective stations, so we should always try to equip them with heavy armor since they don’t need to move. The recruitment screen will let us choose crewmembers from a pool of randomly generated characters of all races and genders (a move that may generate some backlash amongst groups pushing for total historical accuracy) and there are a few stats that can influence our crew’s ability to survive in harsh conditions (such as the amount of time they can go on without oxygen, their base armor values, etc).Īfter recruiting our first merry band, we’ll have to equip them, a task that should not be taken lightly, as every character has a defined role that they should be playing, and any gear we bestow upon their shoulders will affect their efficiency. According to Bomber Crew, a good commander should always have a pilot, a flight engineer, a bomb aimer (who also doubles as a gunner), a radio operator, a navigator and two full-time gunners. We’ll start the game with a not-so-rigurous screening session, where we’ll recruit our first unlucky crewmembers. The only action that requires our immediate attention is the act of dropping bombs, as we’ll have to line up our sights and press a button to unload our deadly cargo. Using our mighty mouse cursor (plus generous applications of the Spacebar), we’ll direct characters to their stations, tell the pilot how high should our plane fly, and where to go once the navigator has plotted a course. Instead of being directly in charge of the plane’s controls, our job is to manage the crew of a Lancaster bomber, seven lives that depend on every action we decide to take. Thankfully, developers Runner Duck have decided to shake up the genre a bit, bringing accessibility to the mix with Bomber Crew, an aptly named simulation/management combo that eschews joysticks and thick manuals in favor of a simple control scheme and a lot of charisma. National Archives or DVIDS.Bomber simulators have always been a rare breed, requiring not only skill with a flight stick, but also careful management of one’s resources.
