I don't remember a lot about the game, other than:

1. It has to be at least 10-15 years old, minimum
2. It was on PC
3. You could be in a large number of vehicles, including being a gunner/pilot/bombardier on a B-52.

Anyone remember a game like this?

There was/is a Russian Small 2 man fighter bomber where you can pilot or be rear gunner called IL2-Sturmovik. Can ply various other nations select aircraft.

I bought original CD back in like 1997 or so but they keep adding and remodeling and keeping it up to date I hear.

It's a flight sim with guns/bombs, and strafing runs, ground attack, air combat.

I downloaded this yesterday and went through the training. Maybe I'm looking at the wrong thing but it didn't look like anyone was online at all.

I'm here... just not sure I'll be able to figure it out. I even went through the Wikipedia list of PC games set in WWII, and no luck. Checked the ones listed here, and none of them look like what I remember.

Fly aces high?

It’s a large multiplayer game that you have to pay like $15 a month for. You get the free trial for a week.

They have literally just about every plane that flew during WW2 in that game. Tanks too. I’m not sure about a b-52 because that’s definitely not WW2 haha. But they have every bomber from every nation during that period. And you can switch from the pilot/gunners/bombardier. This game would be my guess

I'm aware lol. But you'd think that they'd take down the servers if literally no one played it.

I remember the days when AOL had a military game called Air Warrior. You could fly, drive, and run around in a large scale open-world battle. Graphics were awful but it was a lot of fun.

Aces Over Europe/Aces of the Pacific, maybe? Or, going back even further, Their Finest Hour?

I think this is it.

Apparently they have Aces High III, which is still getting updates.

I played it last month. It seems to be going downhill. Graphics/skins on the planes aren’t any better in my opinion then 10 years ago. I remember when the lobby would be close to full with 300-400 people. Now it barely gets to a hundred. I love the events they throw sometimes that recreate massive b-17 bombing missions.
