Didn’t see a thread going for this, so thought I should start it. Aeroplane Heaven have hinted at developing a B-17F for several months, and now they have confirmed it. We all know AH has their issues, but the B-17 is on a different level for me. Plus Microprose is struggling to finish off their G model. I, for one, can’t wait for this to release!
From their FB page:
INSIDE “THE BELLE”
As work progresses slowly on “Memphis Belle” - our tribute to the iconic B-17F bomber, we thought we would share some work-in-progress screens. Whilst modeling the interior we discovered just how cramped the B-17 actually is once you install a crew. The waist gunners, for example, often got in the way of each other in the heat of combat. The crews used to call this “dancing cheek to cheek”!Of course in the later G models, the waist gun windows were staggered to improve the space for the gunners. Another area that can look palatial when unoccupied is the nose. Once a bombardier and navigator are installed, however, things get a little cosier.
Each of the stations including the ball turret will be fully modeled and detailed out. You will be able to enter through the crew hatch and travel right through the ship to the tail gun position.
