BOMBER CREW POSITIONS PATCH

Even after tagging enemy planes, there's no way to tell your crew to prioritize and the decision of who to shoot at is entirely on them.You have to tag attacking aircraft for your gunners to begin firing on them, even if the fighters have already wounded your crew or aircraft.Anyone Can Die: Your bomber crews are vulnerable and will die if they got shot too many times or the plane explodes.It'll even tag the stealth Ho 229 for you. Your radio operator can learn the Auto Tag skill, which tags all the enemy fighters in the area for a short time, helping you tag large numbers of fighters and pesky-close up aircraft that you're having a hard time keeping in the reticle, or possibly even finding.In a second layer of anti-frustration features, this capability was eventually patched in as an available option for all turrets, and is standard on all guns mounted on the B-17. The ammo-feed mechanism allows guns in the tail turret to reload indefinitely without having to run to the ammo dump, eliminating very long and very regular ammo runs.

The second patch added a button to lock your pilot in his seat, preventing the player from accidentally choosing the pilot when moving someone in the nose to another station.Not using it during a mission adds a modest bonus to your experience and cash rewards. The first patch added a Slow Time button, which you can use if the action gets to heavy to keep track of everything.If you lose your aircraft and entire crew, you will have to buy completely new personal equipment for their replacements, but at least some of the upgrades you bought for your previous bomber will transfer over to the new craft, and you can recruit new crew at the same primary skill level.USAAF narrator: 'THANKS PAL, WE'LL TAKE IT FROM HERE!'
