Did the game have floating power-ups before?  I know it's cartoons.  But it just makes the game less realistic.

That kind of stinks, did the bombs re-load because he hit a powerup? I mean part of the fun/challenge is making do with what you have!.. I got a lot of fun playing time in with that game, so no complaints with the previous version!

Yes.  That's how I remembered it.

I think those power-ups are there because of the mode he was playing.  Hopefully they aren't present in the campaign.

I've got three missions in and haven't seen any power-ups in the campaign.

You may be right.  I kinda think he's playing some sort of survival mode.

Finished the first campaign.  There are no pop-ups.   It's pretty much the same system as it was in the original game.

I bought this, played for less than two hours, refunded. I wanted a strategy game, not a click fest. Not much enjoyment for me...way too tough, very odd design choices, and this just sucked the enjoyment of the genre right out of the game.

I note that it has already been deeply discounted...and I may consider a purchase if it ever becomes turn based, or even pauseable real time.

No offence buddy but you need to do more research before you click buy.  A few seconds' viewing on Youtube would have given you that information.

Does the game let you decide, if you want to go potty over Germany, where to do it?  That's the level of realism I want!

It's funny how nobody ever talks about the tons of "yellow hail" that got scattered over Germany in the last 18 months of the war.  I know it was a topic of some amusement to various Allied bomber crews (who often needed all the cheer they could get).

I've read that sales have taken a dive indicating the game has bombed.

A friend gifted me a copy of Space Crew.  It's not really grabbing me like Bomber Crew did.  I guess it's because it feels more like a reskin than a new game so there's less sense of discovery.  Also, no Lancasters so that's a big minus.

On a totally different game news regarding bombers: the Wellington was just added to Plane Mechanic Simulator, or will be shortly. Those devs have been on a roll! I'm very proud for them!
