I do have to say that the screen shot of the B-26 has to be one of the best rendered WWII aircraft in a sim I've ever seen - imho!

Very, very, VERY well done.

I can't think of any other time in an online sim I've been so eager to try out a buff.
The WB's Dauntless comes close but the AH B-26 has given me a fresh shot of juice.

Thanks.

I hope that 26 is ready PDQ, I can't wait to get me hands on the controls =)

(course, I'm hoping for changable gunsights in it too =)

Please folks! The B-26 is NOT a BUFF.
BUFF refers mostly to the superfortress and alot to the B-29 but the B-26's proper nickname is the Baltimore potato. It's short wings provided no visible means of substenace (sp??) Leave the term "buff" for the Big Ugly Fat F*ckers that deserved it.

I think it was "no visible means of support"...

That was it, thanks Raxx, I forgot the exact phrase.

Not familiar with that bird, but it seems not to have ball gunner.

Can it defend itself from attack from below ?

Can't wait to put some 30mm in it

heheh no lower defense means they are going to fly LOW

Hah HAH MUHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA

The B29 was sometimes called "the Big A**ed Bird", not the "Buff".

The B29 was officially named the Superfortress by Boeing.(Shortened to "Superfort" by those who flew her.)

The Buff is the B52.(ONLY)

Goombah - "BUFF" was a termed used by the USAAF before the B-52 existed.
