How to Decide
B-17 Bomber is known for delivering an authentic WWII bomber experience to WWII enthusiasts and arcade pilots. The alternatives split into a few clear camps: 50 Mission Crush leans into a realistic flight model with a deep mission editor for custom bombing runs; Air Conflicts emphasizes multiplayer combat modes alongside a broader aircraft roster; Battlehawks 1942 is chosen for its pixel‑art graphics that evoke classic early‑computer flight sims.
When weighing these options, focus on (1) the depth of flight simulation versus arcade handling, since 50 Mission Crush offers detailed aerodynamics while Air Conflicts and Battlehawks 1942 are more arcade‑oriented; (2) multiplayer support, which only Air Conflicts provides; (3) mission‑creation tools, a strength of both 50 Mission Crush and Battlehawks 1942 but absent in Air Conflicts; (4) graphical style and fidelity, ranging from Battlehawks 1942’s retro pixel art to Air Conflicts’ dated but broader visuals; and (5) pricing consistency, as all three alternatives share a one‑time paid model, making cost a neutral factor.
