Bomber Waves

In Bomber Waves, every human player is on one side, against formations of AI bombers and their fighter escorts. It uses WW2’s aircraft, in a smaller arena, and it is the mode best suited to playing alone.

How to play

• Three of every four AI aircraft are bombers. They fly in formation, and the whole formation turns onto a new heading together every so often.
• Every kill pays a fixed bounty: 50 points for a bomber and 25 for a fighter.
• The bombers belong to the AI alone. Players fly fighters, and unlock better ones with the points they earn.
• There are no U-boats, barrage balloons or aircraft carriers. The bombers are the whole objective.

Tips

• Bombers defend themselves with gun turrets. Attack from a direction their turrets cannot cover, and do not linger behind one.
• Cannon bring a bomber down far faster than machine guns.
• Watch for the escort fighters. They will come after you while you are busy with a bomber.
