Best Bombing Scenarios?

[bbenham]

I am not much for air to air combat being rather old.  It just doesn't appeal to me.  However, I VERY much enjoy the slower bombing scenarios.

I tried Havoc over the Kuban and loved it immensely.  Awesome visuals and terrain.  This was perfect.

 

Can you recommend another scripted Campaigns?  where bombing is the primary activity? (regardless of aircraft type).

It looks like if I want to play a bomber in Battle of Stalingrad, that I have to do it as a pilot career and that there isn't any scripted campaigns.  Not sure.

 

Thank you.

PWCG is what you’re looking for.

Icering flying Il 2 was pretty fun.

Yup, I love that one, just finishing it. There's also Sea Dragons, haven't gotten around to that one yet.

 

Ice Ring does involve some air combat, though. Mostly against Ju-52s, but I did bag a few Bf-110 in one of earlier missions.  Pretty sure the fighters were supposed to keep those busy (and I guess they did, as I had the drop on the Messers), but given that they catch fire from a short burst from rifle-caliber MGs, they're not exactly difficult to kill. I don't know if the historical Bf-110 was made of kindling and magnesium, but it sure feels that way in Il-2.

You know, now when I think about it. Maybe the biggest problem of this game is that bombs dont really do damage as in RL. Yes, there are some other stuff like funny FMs of hurricane, P51b etc but the bombs are really super funny.

The Pilot Career is also a good option, currently playing a Mosquito career in BoN which has a lot of night bombing missions.
