Bomber Crew Secret Weapons DLC – Biggles In A Bomber

The first DLC for Bomber Crew has arrived in the form of Bomber Crew Secret Weapons. Time to strap on a pair of flying goggles and a warm coat and get out there. Chocks away! What's new? Well what's new I hear you asking. Well there are a couple of new weapons and a new campaign. There is also some new livery and outfits for the crew that are quite cool. The new campaign is set in a very cold wintery Europe, there is snow everywhere, and as such the enemy planes are a little harder to see. There is also a new experimental enemy aircraft just to keep you on your toes. The premise of the game is still fairly simple, bomb this, drop that and don't get blown away. The game hasn't become any easier, and the new mission isn't really designed for the new player, so build up your aircraft, ge...
