Historically, the B-17 was equipped with a secondary flight system. When the pilot neared the target, he would flip a switch and control of the bomber would pass to the bombardier would could guide the aircraft over the target with a series of minute adjustments.
Frantic you should do a video with a bunch of people in this b17 and somebody in a fighter trying to shoot you down and the b17 has to fight back with the machine guns
Frantic: "I cant shoot my own plane or engines, What the heck!" Me: But, In so many games you accidently shoot your own plane, And then people are angry about it... And shooting your own plane is a war crime, But to be honest you have done many war crimes...
Loved the video @Frantic! I have a Mission that just might be perfect for the B-17E Flying Fortress! To whoever made this, try building the B-17G, which has the Chin mounted Twin 50 caliber machine guns, the B-24D Liberator and the B-25H and B-25J Mitchell Medium Bombers (The "H" model has the M3 75 millimeter gun that's also used on the M4 Sherman Tanks and the preceding M3 Lee's (M3 Grant's in British service) which is a 3 inch 40 Caliber gun. In plain English, the Barrel is going to be 120 inches long, which is just over 3 meters or 12 Blocks in Stormworks, so if you get to that part just use 2 Barrel extensions and you should be good. The "H" model also had 8 50 Caliber Machine guns in the nose as well as another 4 in cheek mounts, 2 on each side, and then a Dorsal/Top turret with Twin 50's, Left and Right Waist Gunners each with one 50 Caliber Machine gun and the Tail Gunner with another Twin 50's; *BUT WAIT… THERE'S MORE!* The "H" model also had up to 8 5-inch High Velocity Aircraft Rockets and, just like the rest of the Mitchell lineage, could carry up to 2,000 lbs of Bombs! The "J" Model, on the other hand, was just a simple Bomber variant. Basically, it's the "H" model but with a Bomber Nose with the Bombsight and a Nose Gunner Position instead. The Cheek guns and everything else stayed the same though.) *I AM SO SORRY FOR NERDING OUT LIKE THIS* On with the Mission Briefing! "You are about to embark on a great crusade. One that will light the torch of liberty and freedom from a ruthless adversary." - General Dwight D. Eisenhower (SHAEF, Supreme Headquarters, Allied Expeditionary Forces) addressing troops of the 101st Airborne division prior to commencing Operation Overlord (Operation Neptune by the British), the Invasion of Nazi-Occupied France at Normandy, June 5th, 1944. This is a big one Frantic! You, @Camodo Gaming, @Spycakes, @ Beautiful O.B., @Spanner_u and @Miss Charlottie are to each take a B-17 Bomber and Bomb the Chemical Factory. You will each take off, one at a time from Harrison Airbase, circle around at about 1,000 ft (307 meters) while forming up at 50-65% power. Once you've all formed up, increase throttle to full and climb to 16,000 Feet (4,923 meters) on heading 340 degrees. Once you're at Altitude, level out and maintain course and speed for about 5-10 Minutes (Because Stormworks, and the Creations speed) and then turn onto a heading of 270 degrees. Again, maintain Course and Speed until you see the Chemical Factory island in the distance off your Left Wing. You will then turn towards the target onto a heading of 225 degrees and proceed with the Bomb run. This will be the most crucial moment as you do not have any Fighter Escorts (Again, Stormworks, but this time Multiplayer) and you all will be the most vulnerable because you must remain on course until you drop your Bombs. You'll need to rely on your Combat Box Formation to help protect you against the Enemy AI Eurofighter Typhoons (Courtesy of Fellow Stormworks RUclipsr @MrNJersey) as well as any other Aircraft that they might be using. Below will be the Combat Box Formation you all will be using to ensure a mutual defense against enemy Aircraft, as well as everyone's position in it. You will be in the Lead, the Others will form up on you and will drop their Bombs when you drop your Bombs. Camodo Gaming will be Above and Behind you. Spycakes will be Below and to the Left of Camodo, below and Behind you. Spanner will be Below and to the Right of You. Miss Charlottie will be Above and to the Right of You, above and in front of Camodo. And O.B. will be Below and to the Right of Camodo, near the very back of the formation, "Tail End Charlie" as the Bomber crews called it. On the whole, you all should be in and area of 246 meters (800 feet) across, 51 meters (166 feet) deep, and 61 meters (200 feet) high, because it's only a third of what an actual Combat Box Formation has. Hopefully this will work out reasonably well for you all, as I'm sure Spanner, Miss Charlottie, Spycakes and even Camodo probably haven't flown this creation before ever, and O.B. will probably end up getting shot down at some point, so yeah, Good luck and Godspeed to you all!
Axis: We have shot down a B17 Bomber I repeat We have shot down a B17 Bomber Allies: How dare you, we will now throw a nuke at Nagasaki and Hiroshima Imperial Japan: Oh fuu The End
in ww2 they’re plenty of b-17 stories where they’re severely damaged and barely make it back home, for example The All American III had its rear fuselage nearly cut off by a collision with a bf-109
Hey frantic I don’t think the guns fired because they were in the water. On D-day marines couldn’t fire due to the water preventing flint and steel to spark. On the other part, good video!
Man, another video on my B-17!? Thanks a lot man! Yeas someone already said it, but infinite ammo is required because I wanted the guns to look good and shoot more than 50 rounds lol
I wish they gave the machine guns flexible belts that way you can hold more ammo and use them on aircraft because right now they take up too much space and are useless on planes because they only hold 50 rounds and can’t be reloaded on fighter planes where the guns are embedded into the wings I hope they fix or add that later or add more ammo to the existing boxes because those little cans of .50 should really hold 100 rounds
I tried flying this bomber across sawyer Island and somehow got shot down from ai while not being near there zone Helper note: use photo mode and no clip to get into moving/flying vehicles just note of it launching you you a little back
My idea came true. I once made a fake story about a game just like sbr called stormworks build and destroy where I nuked a nuke and set a nuclear war it was insane but when I found out it came out I bursted in to tears of joy and happiness. I hope it’s good I can’t play it cause I’m on Xbox not pc 😢🤬
You are saying omg . Look you are a great content creator you are my idol but please I do not appreciate the Omg . Bye the way YOUR AWESOME Keep up the good work man

Can you make a army truck with one big missile on the back
Leopard 2 or Abrams tank
@@connorsmith-jenkins4219 yes that will be interesting
Hi Frantic, i'd like to see an artillery tank, probably Paladin Howitzer, with build video (it's okay if its fast-forwarded) Nevertheless, great job!
I made a t-72 tank with a artillery cannon , just like in real life for the 125mm gun it look so imposing

What about the koalitsiya russian artillery tank

The description of this plane says that infinite ammo is required
My bad
B-17 is one of my favorite bombers im so glad that you did this video
Never thought I'd hear frantic go "kept shooting me" then "let's bomb them"
Frantic: “ MY ENGINES ARE OUT I GOT ONE ENGINE LEFT AND BOMBS WHAT DO I DO!?” ( ME AND MY BUDDIES) “ FOR THE EMPEROR!!!! BANZAI!!
Germans: How many guns do you have!?
B-17: *Yes.*
My great grandfather flew that during ww2
Also love your vids don't stop making them :)
Cool! :D
Wow you replied
:D
Very risky of him flying one of these, very dangerous.
frantic: are the guns logicafied
me: oh no it's stuck in my head
When you just binge watch all of his videos, and a new video comes up,
frantic im SO happy ive been waiting for this to update also the creator changed the guns and some things as of this time
Frantic, there's an option in the custom menu for infinite ammo, it will make the MGs work even without ammo attached
Imagine if the enemy AI were in BF 109s that would be sick
Hey frantic your videos are the greatest man keep it up and i hope you'll reach 100k sub's!! :D

Same with ye old pub I love that story
Yoooooooo frantic simple planes 1.11.103 is releasing tomorrow 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💀🔥🔥🔥🔥
You need to have a P-51 Mustang escort and BF-109's attacking you. This needs to be done in multiplayer.
That sounds really cool
“There are too many guns on the B-17”
No such thing.
Ha ha
Hey frantic! Your videos are so cool. Keep making em and you'll get 1 mil subs in no time....hopefully lol!
Frantic is an under rated youtuber tbh
Hey frantic I don’t think the guns fired because they were in the water. On D-day marines couldn’t fire due to the water preventing flint and steel to spark. On the other part, good video!
B-2: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
B-17 for some reason: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Man, another video on my B-17!? Thanks a lot man! Yeas someone already said it, but infinite ammo is required because I wanted the guns to look good and shoot more than 50 rounds lol
Im afraid of any fighters and flak if frantic got a hit in the ball gun or the tail gun
Why dont you turn infinity munition on? Just press it in the weather menu
I wish they gave the machine guns flexible belts that way you can hold more ammo and use them on aircraft because right now they take up too much space and are useless on planes because they only hold 50 rounds and can’t be reloaded on fighter planes where the guns are embedded into the wings

Do some more ww2 content frantic
So there IS a B-17!!!
Do this with Comodo, Spy and OB
Frantic you could do an attack on a B17
Now thid really made me try and do a ww2 challenge using a b29 in simple planes

You can turn on infinite ammo in the settings
