¿ can flight with heavy bombers ?

The bombers are flyable, but not from cockpit view. They should be in a DLC soon after release hopefully, as it was never originally planned to have 40+ planes.

I'll have to search for the thread, but Anton has said that bomber cockpits are not gonna happen for either faction, as it was too messy, too many camera views. brb with quote

I think you're confusing that with first person turret view(which I can live without).

But I hope to pilot a B-17 from the cockpit view eventually.

The authentitic feel, in my personal opinion,not paying out here.
So, no, at least until we'll invent something completely new (like another MP mode).

ahh ok good, I too can live without first person gunning (though I wouldn't object to it). The cockpit is the real essential add on.

sorry nike our posts crossed, i think you're right, i hope so

i also want to fly b-17 in cockpit

I wasn't aware the B-17 was in the game? I must have missed it on the website. It'll be fun to put the "flying fortress" through it's paces.

I was thinking it was strange that I couldn't find any of the big 4 engine bombers in the game, I excepted there would be at least one (lancaster was the first thing in my head).

I wish they would add the B-25 at some point though (with the added cockpit of course). One of my WWII favorites. The B-25J model would be preferable for max firepower.

Sadly I don't think they'll do it.

Thanks for the request.

but finally ¿ can rotate in First person for all machinguns of the allied heavy bombers ?

Thanks

No, the bombers have third person view points only. All the guns are controlled with a single target reticle.
