Sounds quite different to me. But thanks for mentioning EF2000. It was way ahead of its time and I love it. Maybe will make a video of it one day. I liked the feeling that it conveyed: that it's not just soulless machine, it's a man inside a machine pushing himself to the limits in tense high-G dogfights. Modern sims fail in this area,
While this particular mission is just for entertaining and doesn't depict any particular encounter of WW2, if you're into history, then some info on that. Fighter escorts were not present in all and every missions, and even when they did, there usually were stretches of flight without continuous escorts even after 1944, so the scenario shown in the video could have happened. Just one of many examples from 461st BG, 767th Squadron: "Mission No. 14 Vienna,Austria. Ship #69. 22 August 1944 Bomb Load: Four 1,000 lbs. Fuel: 2700 gallons Target: Lobavoil Refinery. We were supposed to have P-38 escort, but they never showed up. We were the second group to go over the target. Col. Applegate led the group. Approximately 10 minutes before the IP about thirty-five FW-190s and three ME-109s hit us knocking down seven B-24s in the group in front of us. We went over the target and received a hit in our #4 engine, which we had to feather. Busbee our nose gunner shot down a FW190 which exploded almost immediately. The German pilot ejected safely.The tail gunner, D Moore, was wounded in the foot with flak over the target. Time: 6 hours, 55 minutes. Bombing Altitude: 21,000 feet."

Bombers without escorts???
