B-29 makes no sense from a "gameplay" perspective. would add absolutely nothing to the game.

Pyro was making a joke based on a Defiant joke posted in a prior thread by a player.  Pyro even went so far as to say something to the effect of "I thought everyone knew the new fighter was a Defiant" in the thread he made his joke.  This was a day or so before the Ki-84 screenies were posted.

The fact is that no clues have been given as to what the bomber is.

Nice pic Westy - is that IL2 or CFS3? :rolleyes:

If I were to put money on a bet, I would guess a late war model of the He-111 or Do-17.

The worst bomber they could do would be B29 or B24.

We need:

Late war LW bomber: Ju188 or He177

Early war brit light or medium: Blenheim

Mid war russian medium: Pe2

The only US bomber of use might be an early B25.

Surely you meant "Wellington Mk III", but you accidentally typed "Blenheim" GRUNHERZ.

Bleinheim would be pointless for both scenarios and the MA.  Might as well suggest the Battle.  The Wellington brings a usable war load and some defensive guns while still being slow enough to be intercepted with ease by the Bf109E-4 and Bf110C-4b.

I'll put all my perks on the He-111

Makes about as much sense as having an La-7 for the masses but charging perkies for a Spit 14...

So when do we get this B-29? :D

No I meant Blenheim. Fairy Battle is another great choice though.
