What players say
Players love B-17 Flying Fortress: The Mighty 8th for its depth and authenticity, but they warn it is an old game with clunky controls, a painful UI, and a tough learning curve. Many note that Steam only tracks time in the launcher, not actual missions, and a few report that the AI bombardier often misses the target by dropping bombs over water.
