B-29 Super Fortress

And 3000 perks to fly it, another 3000 perks for the Nuke.

No, 350 for formation and 280 alone; full bomb load out included.
1200 perks for 3 mile radius blast nuke.
Can only span at bases where 163 can span, so not all airfields have to get enlarged runways.

Nooks were never deployed in squadron strenght during the was and therefore do not meet the requirements as set by HTC for inclusion into the game.

 

And furthermore, at your 280 perks for a single bomber, why would there be a sale on formations.  No discounts.  If you want all three you have to pay the full 840.

So in all seriousness it IS true then that the re-write of the program code would be prohibitive on the B29?  Serious question now. 

And if that is so, could someone put it in laymans terms, I'm curious. 

Finally, as others have posted what about just making the red box airfields the only fields you could lift from.  Meaning, you wanted the damn thing...  Here it is, now shut up and fly it already!     Making it a time consideration big time.  Also perk the crap out of it.   and THAT said then also allow it to do mega damage.  BUT NO NUKE. 

I think this would be a pretty good compromise what about y'all?

The only people who know the answer to the first question aren't talking.

As for "personally", I personally think they should put it in, with a "perk" cost of $5 per aircraft, charged to your CC when you start the sortie.  Full (conventional) bomb load, and good luck taking off without crashing.

The problem with that is too many AH players use mommy's credit card, and too many of those players will be grounded when mommy gets the $1,500 bill for all those crashed B29s.  Us old folks have no sense of adventure.

and youwould need to have lots of alt!

Well, the B-29 should be added.  Why do we have Ar 234 when only 200 or so where develop where the B-29 had what, 3000, 4000 of them developed.  Why is it such a threat to some ppl. 
Not having the B-29 is like not having a 190 or P-38

No B-29

No B-29

Why not? Its got a perfect place in AH and it should only spawn from bases around HQ where it can gain altitude.
Nuke would be nice, but i'd rather consider that to be around 2500 perks...

There are ppl who fear them for some reason.  I guess they are afread of loosing their perk points plane if they get shot down by one ofthe B-29.

1) Disrupt game balance.
2) Only if we get the landing gear failures on takeoff/landing and random engine explosions on startup.
3) Only if I get a f-117 Nighthawk to intercept your 1337 b-29z0r...

[Kazaa]

Copy my sig if you want the B-29/Nook!

[Bronk]

3) Only if I get a f-117 Nighthawk to intercept your 1337 b-29z0r...

I believe the F117 has no gun making intercept moot.

[TheZohan]

it has no offensive guns your right

I cannot see any particular gameplay reasons why the B-29 ought not to be added, under certain conditions.  As has been suggested, it should be perked, and I really like the idea that it should only take off from the untakable bases surrounding an HQ.  Bombload is fine, etc.  If someone wants to up a set of B-29s, risking 400-600 perkies, and fly a couple hundred miles to bomb some base, taking a good hour or two for the sortie, then more power to them.  There's no really good gameplay reason why they ought not to be able to do so.

But the nuke is out.  Sure, would be cool, give it a perk price of 3000 bomber perks so it doesn't get used that often, but it will almost certainly never happen, and is really a different topic altogether.  The B-29 was used to drop nukes in WWII two times, but it was used in thousands of sorties to bomb cities and strats and whatnot.

And the God/Kitten joke was funny the first time.  That ship has long since sailed.  So give it up, please, for all our sakes.

The B-29, without nuke, is a perfectly reasonable request to make for the game, and I cannot see any reasonable gameplay reason it ought not to be there, with suitable perk price and perhaps base restrictions.
