Oh the B-29 would be useful alright.

 Imagine the sheer dweebery a formation of 3x B-29s at 1000ft deck run without calibration. Heck, why up jabos at all?

Yes it is stupid. It adds nothing to the game. There are huge wholes in the plane set that need to be filled for events and ToD. Even a Pac-setup where the B-29 could be used is lacking so many IJAAF/IJN aircraft that a set up including a B-29 couldn’t be run.

Outside of 2k suicide bomb runs in the main it’s useless.

I am tempted to say you are stupid as well but it must be just ignorance. Maybe you should do a little research on that "post-war 3 cannon La-7".

You may want to do some research on the eastern front. The battles both in the air and on the ground were epic in proportion and it’s a shame that in most mmpg flight games it is overlooked

Then research the Pe-2; it’s certainly not a late-war or even post-war.

A Pe-2 variant and a (provided it is easy enough to modify the Pe-2) Pe-3 (fighter variant) would go a long way to fill gaps in the Ostfront theater. An Yak-9m could easily be converted from the 9t with minimal effort. While a '44 plane it’s basically a Yak-9 and can fill the gaps there.

If you think about it the best way to get the La-7 perked is to develop a large VVS-RKKA plane set.

Then you have to consider the amount of labor that would need to go into a stupid plane like a B-29. I would hope that HTC has other priorities.

Well said! I agree! ;) We do need to fill out the plane sets. A B-29 would be one of my last choices.

Hades55...

I love flying at high altitudes because of the experience. When there's a nice, big furball that seems like it's going to last for a while, I take off from a distant runway in a KI-61 or a P-51D, complete with drop tanks. I climb to around 20k, and when I'm near an airfield/furball, I dive. I know about the people of which you speak --- I am not one of them.

I never run from combat, and I've died many times because of it. In a scramble, I'll take an A6M2 over any other fighter, even if there is a greater risk of explosion.

Get to know somebody before you make these wild assumptions.

B-29 without perking would seriously disrupt play balance -- too much speed, firepower for most AH interceptors. If use limited by perking, not worth choosing as our only new bomber craft.

The B29 will no doubt be introduced (eventually!) so there is actually something besides the Ar234 that we can use the bomber perkies on.  I would like to see the B29 but not at the expense of more important fighters/bombers etc., that would help develop the planeset.  Japan, Germany, Soviets, Italians could all do with more aircraft, especially bombers.

Grabage indeed :rofl

A bomber, a fighter, and a tank
« Reply #147 on: July 06, 2004, 04:55:05 AM »
Bomber: SM79 or Z.1007 (one can hope, no?)

Fighter: Ki84 (I dont know why, but my instinct suggest this one)

Tank: T34 or Sherman (Prob. Firefly version).

Placed my bet :)
