Bomber Crew Review (ArmsForPeace84)

Inexcusably fiddly hand-holding of the brainless AI crew of one un-escorted bomber,, that rather ironically, feels like one long escort mission. None of the crew do anything unless you specifically tell them to. It's like trying to keep a bunch of extras from Idiocracy alive doing one of the most dangerous jobs of WWII. And then having to buy all the basic gear, like flight suits and oxygen masks, for their replacements.
"My machine gun is out of ammo, I guess I'll sit here watching the pretty airplanes fly past shooting at us, since I haven't been ordered to go get a new ammo belt."
"My buddy's bleeding out. Huh, what's that? Okay, I'll go help him. But I won't grab a first aid kit on the way, you have to tell me to do that first."
"Well, I guess I'll just leave the gear down, or the bomb bay doors open. Maybe the captain wants ventilation."
"What should we do about these German airplanes attacking us? I mean, I've got these machineguns. But I haven't been told to shoot at anything."
"Well, I sure am glad I got to that guy and treated his injuries before he bled out. I guess I'll just stand here until I'm ordered to get back to my station."
"Fire. There's a fire going on. Ah, you know it's fine. I'm the closest one to the fire extinguisher, AND the fire, but someone else is gonna be right on top of that, I'm sure."
"Anyone else think it's weird that we're the only Allied bomber in the air? Nope? Just me? Okay, then."
"Why does command want so many recon photos? We saved some bombs... we could just, you know, blow this stuff up."
Verdict - 10 missions out of 25. This one missed the target and then didn't stick the landing.
