I cant play it - no invert Y axis when tagging makes fast reaction to fighters near impossible. Such a sweet game but boils my brain. I'm just not wired that way. Refunding. Will buy again if/when they patch in invert Y axis.
This caught my eye and made me giggle so thought I give it a go. It's a cuteness might make you overlook it, but managing everything and keeping your plane in the air is a real balancing act. It's grower and deffo worth a look. Best game for dipping in and out of I've seen in ages. It's fun
The first update for this is out, patch notes below:
Here’s what’s new:
‘Slow Time’ - Hold Ctrl
We think this is a good compromise for the players who like their action a little less intense at times, while retaining the urgency of the situations crews found themselves in.
By holding ‘Ctrl’, time will slow, allowing more breathing space for quick decisions. A small bar in the top left of the screen will show how much longer time can be slowed for. Once the bar runs out, it will fill again over a short period. The Slow Time feature can be used even when the bar is not fully filled.
For those of you who are hardcore #nopause advocates, a bonus is rewarded at the end of each mission if you do not use the Slow Time ability. And if you really dislike it, it can be switched off entirely in the options menu.
‘Quick Peek’ - Hold Shift
Quickly move the camera to view inside the bomber! This was in the previous release, but somewhat hidden. Especially powerful when used along with ‘Slow Time’!
Camera control keys - ‘W, S, A & D’
The camera can now be zoomed in/out with the W/S keys, and moved left and right with A/D.
This is especially useful in ‘Quick Peek’ mode!
Hot Keys!
We’ve added a few hotkeys to make some trickier actions a little more straightforward in the heat of battle!
Hot Key: Reload Ammo - ‘R’
Select a crewmember and hit the ‘R’ key - they will immediately head to the ammo box and grab a fresh belt. If they were manning a turret when the command was issued, they will return to it and reload!
Hot Key: Heal at Rest Bed - ‘F’
Select a crewmember and hit the ‘F’ key - they will head to the Rest Bed to regain some health.
Hot Key: Go to Pilot Station - ‘P’
Ever get that sinking feeling during a sortie? It’s probably because your pilot has wandered off!
Now you can simply select a crewmember and hit the ‘P’ key - they will go straight to the pilot’s station and grab the steering yoke!
Difficulty Balancing
We have made some changes to difficulty based on your feedback.
Later in the game, you’ll now receive higher level recruits and replacement bombers featuring better upgrades.
Improved Options
Volume for music and effects can be independently adjusted.
You can now flip the camera’s Y axis in the options menu.
The controls options have now been moved to the pause menu’s ‘Options’ page.
Happy Halloween!
We’ve included a few free special livery items for you to celebrate!
Various bug fixes and improvements
We’ve chased down many bugs, fixed a bunch and *think* we’ve fixed a few more.
We’ll try to address specific issues in the forums. Please do keep reporting anything you happen to find, we very much appreciate it!
We’ve also made various improvements, such as speeding up the crew survival wheel at the end of the missions.
That’s all in this first update! Please keep the feedback and suggestions coming, we are listening!
Found myself stuck on the Berlin Flak Tower mission for quite a while, completed it first try after the update.
They have also added the flip camera Y axis option as mentioned in this thread. Not had to make use of the "Slow Time" feature yet, but I do like the quick reload button.
Cheers for the heads-up. Not spent much time playing it yet but I suspect I'm going to need a larger memorial wall for all the ex-cartoon characters I'm piling up.
Was submarine hunting and the waypoint kept repeating (glitch?). Used up loads of fuel and when the final sub target was revealed i didn't have enough fuel to get there. 6 KIA and 1 MIA.
Hectic stuff though, no pause button like FTL to think about things, just the 'slow time' button

I love this game, the harshness of incoming attacks and trying to manage ammo/manoeuvres, piloting around flak batteries and accidentally forgetting you have a crew member on the wing repairing when you initiate a dive and they fall off. pure brilliance.
