Please add the B-17 Flying Fortress

Would be amazing if DCS/Eagle Dynamics can add the B-17 Flying Fortress. Can make it multiplayer for various crew positions. Even allow the various player to swap between positions within the aircraft if they aren't the pilot. Even allow copilot transfer of controls.

Let's see if we can get a twin engine with 2-crew first yeah?

 

At least having some players managed gunners. If HB managed to have such complex multicrew in the F-14 why not? Only issue that comes to mind is that we already have a very small player count per server, so MG slots sucking up more slots. I don't know, MP needs a loooooooot of love from ED before having a multicrewed B-17.

Whole server in one plane :)

I think i can remember that ED said that that level of multi crew would be very very difficulty. It is big difference between 2 player multi crew than +10 multicrew.

There are currently no strategic aspects to DCS so there’s really no point in introducing a strategic asset.

 

Do you really want to drone along for an entire 8 hour sim session basically alone and helpless (unlikely you’d enjoy the relative benefit of the Combat Box formation) with the distinct possibility you’d get smoked by enemy fighters?

For long time, I still fly the very old game call "Fortress B-17" in it , player can see interier structure and switch to different position. The game tech is low and poor at that era. But, till now, it is the only one F-17 in game can play different position. IL2 cliff of dover and switch to different position in HE111 JU87 though, but not B-17.

hope ED can make the best B-17 playable in FS world.
