You can catch 234 with La7 , they often fly low trusting in their speed

We do not NEEED the b29.

In fact it would be better to avoid adding the B29.

There isnt targets big enough for the b29 to bomb.

From nation ballance wise the US is the last that needs heavy bombers added.

We only have 1 UK and 1 German hevy bomber.

In fact we only have 1 UK bomber, period, and 1 German bomber plus 1 dive bomber.

US has 3 level bombers plus TBM and SBD.

Japan has 1 level bomber and 2 dive bombers.

You saying that we NEEEED a US bomber only makes you look rediculously biased towards the US plane set. This will always make anyone not biased towards US plane set jump at you.

A tip. Wording your self better and perhaps saying "Ive always loved the B29s and I would really love to fly them in AH" would be better for your argument.

But since your not saying that...

WE DONT NEED THE B29!!

I agree with Tex.....surely we don't need B-29A Superfortress yet.

We needed more bombers for other countries like UK, Japan, Italy, Germany, and Russia.

The B-29 would quickly become the LaLa of the buff world in about 2 seconds after it was released.  And this message board would soon follow with tales of the the buff-weenies ruining life for the rest of us..

Don't get me wrong... I love heavy bombers, but come on guys... that thing is overkill x 10!  If it would only be fun in the game if it was flown like it was used in the war (super high alt)... but lets face it, too many people would use it from low alt's just to pork fields.

Although, I just had a thought... mayby if it could only be flown without the formation option.  1 plane per person.  That might be ok.  But even then, I think there are other planes that could add more to the game play than the B-29.

The P-39 would add a fun jabo plane to the mix as well as give us another option for Soviet skins...

The G4M Betty would make a nice addition to the Japaniese plane set.

And let's not forget the JU-52... Boring as sin to fly, but it would add to the realism of the game...

Just my $.02  :aok

7,000ft is super high alt?

The jet stream scattered the bombs too much so LeMay switched to night bombing from low altitude on area targets (cities).  The B-29 was used from a range of altitudes.

You're absolutly right Karnak... The B-29 was used from a variety of alts, my bad.

I made an assumption based on info I have from my Grandfather's experience as a bombardier in the pacific...  He flew in B-24's and said that they usually did their runs between 15 and 17K... I just assumed the B-29 was used at higher alts.    

It was also my impression that the jet-stream doesn't really come into play until around 27K (Depending of course on the time of year and geographic location)... am I wrong about this?  

Anyway, all that lead to the wrong assumption ;)

But that doesn't change my fear that in the game most people wouldn't get much higher than 2k and use it just to pork a field. Ya know what I mean?
