I would like the B-29 Super Fortress to BOMB!
...in the style of the Stuka, no doubt.  |

I shall quote The Holy Grail...
"You're a loony."
"I fart in your general direction. Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries. Now go away or I shall insult you a second time."
 I really dont have an opinion on this but it makes me wonder, with all the ppl asking for it and how much of a role it played in WWII, why hasn't it been added? There's got to be a reason, so of it hasn't been added yet, it might not be added for a very long time. |

There's got to be a reason, so of it hasn't been added yet, it might not be added for a very long time. Because Skuzz put a cap on how much ordy would be allowed per aircraft... b-29 is WAY over that... Let's put this into perspective. B-17: (Short range missions, max bomb load ) 8,000 lb (3,600 kg). B-29: 20,000 lb (9,000 kg) standard loadout. It would throw game balance out the window, and would be abused. It's max altitude and speed at that alititude would be disrupting, almost invincible at alt. And 20mm tail gun... well... self-explanitory. |

Sometimes, we just need to remember what the rules of life really are: You only
need two tools: WD-40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should, use the
WD-40. If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.

So put limits on it, make it so its only available to fly on certain days or from certain airfeilds. That simple really.  |

I would actually be ok with the B29, if it was only available at the rear airfield, like the 163. 29 would have the range to fly to and bomb the front from there... but would take a while to climb to alt and get there. Would give interceptors plenty of time to up and catch them.. even if only a few planes could do so.

This is a complete fabrication and has no basis in reality. 1) Skuzzy is the hardware tech guy, not the game designer. Those decisions are made by HiTech and Pyro. 2) There is no payload limit set in AH. The only limits for bombs that have ever been stated are a) no nukes and b) no single bomb over 4,000lbs. Other than those all WWII equipment is fair game, but there are lots of considerations. For example, a B-29 would take as much developer time as 4-6 fighters. |

Yea but it'd be worth it, plus in my opinion we already have enough fighters. |

All of this talk about the B29 has inspired me to make a little movie. The text wasnt big enough to see it on YouTube... but its a really fast download. http://home.comcast.net/~princeak/BomberMovie.wmvEnjoy! |

I disagree. There are many gaps that need plugging before we get the B-29A, even other bombers. The next perk bomber is likely to be the A-26 or Mosquito B.Mk XVI simply due to practicallity. Also keep in mind that if/when the B-29A is added it will be a very pricey perk plane. |

The B29?
What a great idea! I wonder why no one has asked for it before? Probably should have Nukes as an option too! New map to reset in 10 seconds!

When I said "simple" I meant about the retrictions not the coding. If it's easier to just perk the plane extremely high (which it is) then just do it, and if we add an A bomb with, (like asking to own the world) then perk that in the tens of thousands. |
