Ball Turret Gunner
Ball Turret Gunner drops you into the cramped lower turret of a B-17. Track enemy fighters by clock bearing, swing the twin guns into position, and keep the bomber alive under relentless attacks.
Built for quick, tense missions, this WWII combat simulation combines touch aiming, ammunition pressure, radio callouts, campaign survival, and the claustrophobic view from inside the B17 turret.
Designed and developed by Jeff Hendrickson of Jeff Hendrickson Software.
Overview
Defend the B-17 bomber from waves of attacking aircraft in this WWII action shooter and combat simulation. Manage limited ammunition, fast bearings, and the pressure of surviving long enough to reach bombs away. Every mission asks you to read the callouts, rotate quickly, choose your shots, and decide when the situation is bad enough to bail out. If you are looking for a WWII shooter built around the real experience of a B17 ball turret gunner, this is it.
