Big woops on the spit 22 & 24, BTW if this is meant too be a WW2 Sim then you got too have all of the WW2 planes & bombs etc, you cannot just pick a choose here !

BTW B29 should never in a million years be perked at 100-200 points - nuke, I was thinking 50 at the most, could you imagine the ammount of time that would take to get them many perkies. Also you would be picked on by gangs of planes too so if you did have them many points you would be too scared to take it up.

BTW whats the bomb load on one of them puppys ?

Dornier Do-335: fastest piston engine plane EVER.

Powerplant: Two Daimler-Benz DB603E-1 12-cylinder inverted-vee liquid cooled engines in push-pull arrangement - each rated at 1,800 hp for take-off.

Armament: One 30 mm MK103 cannon with 70 rounds, firing through the front propeller hub, and two 15 mm MG151/15 cannon with 200 r.p.g. above the nose, plus one 1,102 lb (500 kg) bomb or two 551 lb (250 kg) bombs internally and 551 lb (250 kg) bombs on underwing racks.

Performance: Max speed 474 mph (763 km/h) at 21, 325 ft (6,500 m); Max cruising speed 426 mph (685 km/h) at 23,360 ft (7,100 m); Economical cruising speed 281 mph (552 km/h) at 19,685 ft (6000 m); Range on internal fuel at max continuous power 867 miles (1400 km), at economical cruise power 1,280 miles (2050 km); Time to 3,280 ft (1000 m) 55 sec, to 26,245 ft (8000 m) 14.5 min; Service ceiling 37,400 ft (11,400 m).

PS
nukes would only be able to be used on strat targets because killshooter would murder you.

Kazaa,

The Spitfire F.21 was the lat mark used in WWII, but it saw practically no combat. Why do we need things like the Spitfire F.21 and Do335 that practically missed the war when there are fighters and bombers that saw heavy combat and have yet to be added? When there are massive holes in plane versions, see my Spitfire thread for example.

The B-29A is the best bomber that they could add to AH. It would be far more potent than the Ar234B which costs 60 perk points. Look at the price of the Me262 and Tempest Mk V to get an idea of where it would have to be. My guess would be right around the 100 point mark, +/- 25 points.

This was one of the Spit 21s flown by 91 Squadron near the end of the war. Two lost to flak, one midget sub sunk.

Your talking bull about the B29 - nuke, the 234 is impossable to catch unless you want too break out an me262, 163. so the B29 should be less then the 234.

The Ar234 carries a 1500kg maximum warload externally and, with bombs, tops out at about 370mph. Hard to catch, yes, impossible, not remotely. The B-29A would be able to carry 20,000lbs of bombs, 60,000 in a formation, and still do well over 325mph. Couple that with good defensive firepower and you can see why the B-29A would be perked heavily.

The Mosquito B.Mk XVI carries a 4,000lb 'cookie' and can do over 400mph with it. It too would need to be perked.

The Ta152H-1 and Spitfire Mk XIV can't out run a great many free fighters at AH combat altitudes and yet they are both perked higher than you suggest for the B-29A.

Ju87s.

The ones that were equipped with phaser cannons that time traveling aliens installed.

I saw it on an episode of star trek so it has to be true.

Yeah i guess your right B-29 should be 75-150 no way 200.

The last kid talking about the lazers is a F**king riot lol.

Dornier Do 335

A very unconventional aircraft, the Dornier Do 335 Pheil (Arrow) featured an engine in the nose and one in the tail. The basic design of such an aircraft was patented in 1937 by Dr Dornier, but the 335 never flew until 1943. It is notable that the Do 335 was the first production aircraft to feature an ejection seat! The aircraft pictured below is the Do 335A-6 two seat night fighter although this particular example is not fitted with the radar antennae.

Work on the Do 335 progressed slowley through the latter years of the war, and by VE Day, only 60 had been built, and only 20 had seen any combat. They were very heavily armed, and ammuniton was carried in large numbers in proportion to the guns used.

Type: Single Seat day fighter and Twin Seat night fighter

Engines: Two Daimler Benz 1,900hp inlines

Armament: One 30-mm and two 15-mm cannon

The AR 234 is not that hard to catch, I lost my first one last night.

HiSpd got me, he was in a typh and dived on me.

I dropped my load and dived away. in a hard turn (should not have done that turn me thinks)

Thought I had gotten away from him when he nailed me from about 800 I think.

If I had had the 20's maybe I could have intimidated him (first time I flew without the rear guns to dam it )

So the 234 isn't as uncatchable as some think. (sure as hell learnt my lesson)

As for its load don't forget that 1500 KG's is 3300lbs

Later All

mussie · « **Reply #57 on:** June 30, 2005, 09:52:43 AM »

Mind you I have great fun in the 234

Wait for someone to get on your tail, let them hit D2500 and then punch the RATO's and dive.

I had a p38 and LA chasing me at D2000 for about 5 minutes before they gave up.

The 234 can take 500 easy and will hold that speed for ages when you level out.

Pity the drones cant keep up with my manuvers or I would take with me and do some real damage

Later

Karnak · « **Reply #58 on:** June 30, 2005, 11:04:13 AM »

In about 30 or 40 Ar234 sorties I never lost one of them.

However I have bagged a couple in the Mosquito Mk VI.

mussie · « **Reply #59 on:** June 30, 2005, 11:30:32 AM »

Yeah I got sloppy and should have kept diving till I was right on the deck. I looked at the film and I leveled out at about 300-500 ft (I think)

He kept going and that gave him enough speed to get me
