![]() Niko’s very fast and radar-invisible plane is actually easy to shoot down – if you can tag it before it manages to make an attack run. However, chances are that he gets to make at least one nasty attack run if the player has not been paranoid enough to look around when he announces his presence. He is defeated as soon as the player manages to tag his plane, which is actually quite flimsy. Incidentally, his craft does not appear on radar at all, despite being armed with ordnance that would have shown up on radar. The only one of them that is unique is an Ace that pilots a glider with no clear form of propulsion. Just like the ones in the base game, they have cheesy lines and they pilot souped-up versions of regular planes. It does not take a lot to bring them down, but since they have a tendency to attack from far above, they often have to subtly change directions in order to track the bomber, which happens to make them harder to hit too. However, if the player is careful, he/she might just alert only one and have the bomber swerve away to avoid alerting the others.Įach of the rocket-powered interceptors is equipped with a pair of rockets, which the interceptor will fire after it manages to make an attack run, which is when it is most vulnerable. Usually, there are at least three gantries that launch them, and they are quite close to each other. Not unlike enemy airbases, they spawn and deploy enemies if the bomber flies too close. The DLC introduces a new kind of hazard: launch pads for rocket-powered interceptors. These are armed with heavy ordnance that they will pump into the player’s bomber if it could not be brought down in time. On the other hand, this means that the jet planes always get to fire some bullets, so cumulative damage is a more serious problem than it was when fighting the enemy planes in the base game. Speaking of which, they have to noticeably decelerate in order to make their attack runs, during which they are vulnerable. The jet planes are just too fast to hit if they are doing anything other than attack runs. They often come in squadrons of two, three or five planes the five-plane ones are more prominent in the later missions. The jet-propelled ones are the bulk of enemies that the player would have to fight. Most of them are jet-propelled, whereas a few are rocket-propelled. The bulk of the enemies that the player would encounter in the DLC missions are based on the real planes that Messerschmitt AG made in World War II. Don’t let these heavy jet fighters fire off their ordnance bad things happen if they do. Of course, it should be emphasized here that Bomber Crew is not designed to be believable. The player can switch from the original campaign to the DLC campaign and back again in the briefing screen, with seemingly no narrative or even logical reason for this. Therefore, the player has to contend with both bad weather and nasty zippy enemies with missiles. ![]() Meanwhile, this campaign takes place during winter incidentally, the DLC was released in the month of Christmas of 2017. The player is to defeat the enemy’s attempts to manufacture and field jet- and rocket-propelled fighters. Secret Weapons has a separate campaign, composed of ten missions. In the case of the Secret Weapons DLC, its content is about the jet fighters that WWII Germany tried to field at its end of days. Yet, for better or worse, its source material greatly influences the design direction of the game, as well as that of the content that would be made post-launch. By Gelugon_baat | Review Date: October 14, 2018ĭespite its clear lack of A- or even B-rated level of production in its graphical designs, Bomber Crew was perhaps a breath of fresh air in the indie scene for doing something that is very different from the others.
