B-29 Super Fortress

[allaire]

Yeah the G4M and a perk loadout choice of the Yokosuka MXY-7.

I would sincerely like to see the B-29 in game without a nuke.  However there are glaring holes in the plane/gv set that would be higher priority to fill first.

simple. take the nuke away an give a norm. bomb load, or use the nuke for a scemario event, just an idea

You're still creating a VERY VERY difficult bomber to kill, seeing as we lack the high-altitude variants of our aircraft which would have been tasked with it's destruction.

b17s abd b24s in AH now fly at full throttle as fast and as high as B29s ever did operationally, so what's the point?  Until the bomber system in this game is remodeled, the B-29 has no place, being 100% uncatchable at full speed and at 35k.

262 or 163 anyone..... the DA bombers would take this for runways so i say yes { i am a DA bomb newb }

The 262 IIRC doesn't have the climb rate to be competitive in catching it. The 163 is severely restricted in operating bases.

The 262's service ceiling would not allow it to catch a smart B-29 pilot. The Superfortress can simply fly higher.

You guys keep yapping about altitude. How many people do you know would get 300 perkies, go 35k and bomb? It takes about 2:30 just to get at 35k and then by god, its hard enough to bomb with a B-17G, 20 - 25k with the clouds, wind, and etc. Besides, B-29's were loaded with the Norden Bombsight, which was being rushed out into the new b-29's and were not tested properly, this made accuracy horrible.

So whats to be scared off? It can't do a daing thing with its 20mm, unless someone came up there and yet again it could outclimb any A/C. It be a great bomber to add, but i would say it should be put in scenarios where they will use it.

It'll see little action in the MA sense it will take so long to get up to 35k and with the Norden, clouds, winds, and etc. you might as well randomly drop if you wish to hit something.

The people who WILL go to those altitudes, myself included, are the biggest danger to the MAs, because we're the ones who will do it right, and WON'T miss. We will make the B-29 invincible in the MAs.

You can hit the head of a pin from 35k in Aces High. The air is perfectly still and the bombsight is laser accurate. And then of course at 35k the 262 is non-operational (I think it's ceiling is somewhere around 30?), and only very few aircraft become effective... the only effective interceptors would really be the P47N (climbrate lol), Ta 152 (glass nose), Spitfire MkXIV maybe (?) (glass wings) and Me 163.

Sorry, didn't take post-bombing pics, but Ill make another strato-run this weekend and get some.

Look at the sky, lol. I thought you took a picture of the B17 from inside the cockpit in the skin viewer before I realized the purpose of the picture

Just add the damn thing, so we can move on.
