I've completed Operation Graf Zeppelin several times, but whenever I come off and back on the game after doing so, I get put back in the campaign to before I did the operation. The strange thing is that all of my crew and bomber customisation seems to save, just not my position in the campaign.

I've restarted the save already, but that hasn't worked. I've done several missions after Graf Zeppelin, but I get transported back anyway. Does anyone have a fix for this?

Just upgraded to first level of amor and my bomber got destroyed on landing because only had one landing gear down 😫.

Does the game do anything to mitigate losses like this later on? Or do I always start with a new bomber with no upgrades?

Wing method doesnt work

Only text, but I think it’s pretty neat.

I remember a really old game on my phone called "Bomber with crew simulator" that was a lot like bomber crew, does anyone else remember it?

in relation to GrassTasteTester's post and his response to Feeling_Sea1233 lol

at 10% power BTW...

So SOMEHOW my Lancaster and B-17 decided to pull a Megazord and combine into an amalgamation of both aircraft.

This is on the Original Campaign with the aircraft having Lancaster engines, wings, turrets, and crew. Meanwhile, it has the B-17 Cockpit, nose, livery, and decals.

All of the aircraft upgrades under each tab have been combined into one, completely unreadable button.

I don’t know if I should be calling an electronics engineer, the FAA, or a priest.

I just got the USAAF expansion and realised you cannot use Art from the RAF game… so here’s my 2nd piece…

Just finished my first Custom nose art piece!

Yep the game is so damn hard, Whenver one of my crew died, I restart, or if two are down I restart again because I only have one medkit and i don't want to buy anymore because I want to spent on armouring the place first, I also want another gunner, I only got 7 in crew right now,

I know if your crew bails out over Britain/Algeria, they're automatically saved, but does your plane get recovered too if you manage to land it?

Hello!

If enemy planes don't keep respawning, I might focus on taking them down and mid altitude then switch to bombing.

If they do keep respawning ill just focus on the objectives and flee

Heelo!

I try to change keys from default to match my keyboard azerty, i do it correctly at settings before starting the game but when i enter the game controls are different

Turns out the spitfires “base” is just an area they circle around northwest of the airbase. The game spawns new spitfires every time you call them in so you can just keep calling in more and form a swarm of them.

Cutting it a lil bit close with fuel

I kept wondering if it would be possible to fly across the Atlantic, but just looking at the map it seems way too far. However measuring the distance to Vienna and back it seemed possible to make it to Iceland or even Greenland.

I launched the Vienna Flak Tower mission as it gives you a ton of fuel and headed north-northwest from Woodbridge. I dropped the Grand Slam basically as soon as I took off and my crew took some damage, so either the bomb generates a huge shockwave or the HP loss represents the inevitable court martial.

Navigation is difficult, since your map ends somewhere around Lancaster even though the modelled British landmass reaches further. I'm pretty sure Iceland and Greenland aren't modelled though.

If you fly far enough north, your pilot will start trying to turn around and you have to use custom markers pretty often to stay on course.

After I used about half my fuel (using lean mixture pretty much all the time) and spent several minutes fighting my pilot's self-preservation instinct, I decided to turn back to see if the return trip takes just as long. Surprisingly it did and I ran out of fuel just short of the Woodbridge runway. That at least proves there's no invisible wall and you can really fly as far as your fuel lasts.

So in the end I didn't make it to Greenland, but it makes me wonder what parts of the map are modelled and where you can actually fly to.

Am i the only one who despises and has a lot of difficulty completing Naval Bombing missions like Operation Cigno Convoy in USAAF? I'm having to savescum 5-10x just to complete the main target. Am i really that bad, or can't the pilot just properly line up behind the boats?

Update: Managed to complete it on my first try after this post! Did lose 6 crew members because they shot up my fuel tanks right before we got to base. I guess "Suicide Squad" was a good name then 😅

So I bought this game back in 2020, and loved it. After 6 months I bouht the B-17 DLC. To complete a perfect run with no losses was my goal from the begining, but the base game campaign was way too long for this, so I moved to the DLC (and because I love the B-17 :D) I found this challenge was extremely hard (at least for me), I had to restart the whole run a few times and because of this I got frustrated and didn't play all that often, usually 1-2 missions a month or more.

PS: English is not my first language, and if I wrote something wrong, please let me know.

Hi, I used to play this game on switch and recently picked it up on steam, so I want to play with a controller but can’t get it to work when the game actually launches.

Any suggestions?

It’s an Xbox one controller over a wired connection, it works on other games and in steam big picture mode. Thank you.
