Thanx motherland, I'm a little stupid when it comes to computer stuff so if you don't mind, how do I go about doing that.

Go to mediafire.com and click on the button that says 'Upload Files to MediaFire'. From there you can either create an account or upload without an account. Once it's finished uploading you just take the link it gives you and post it where ever.

I never seen a A/C take so many hits like that.  I engage a bomber raid on our HQ by B-24 and P-47N escort.  They range 32 to 36k and was surprise how well the P-47 handle that high.

I'm surprised the poor sucker never even got a shot on me!  I mean if your gonna take all that time to climb up there at least try to make it worth the trip.

   But yeah, as I keep saying there are quite a few aircraft that are still very combat effective even at "untouchable" altitudes.  I've already posted earlier on this site the stats for the B-29 including its altitude which depending on the source ranges from 33k to 36k and I hope that this film proves that even ABOVE that claimed altitude, intercepting a bomber is still very possible with proper planning and teamwork.  But I'm pretty sure someones gonna be chiming in within ten minutes to say otherwise.

oh, and oleg, I've got about 20 other films of me flying well above 20k.  Would you like me to post all of them or are you satisfied with this one?

Ok, I propose a trade.  No one is to ask for the B-29 ever again! and in exchange, we get one of these.....

Dude, I mean you flying fighter not bomber, you intercepting bombers above 20k not somebody else intercepting your bombers.  :rolleyes:
Thought it was quite obvious, sorry if not.

Just to make sure everyone understands, that last one was a joke.  I just wanted everyone to see a REAL untouchable bomber (470mph at 50k with a range of 6,000 miles holding 18 20mm cannons for turrets and 80,000lbs of bombs!)

I honestly don't think it even has anything to do with the B-29s stats anymore.  I think most of the people opposed to it are just fighter jocks and furballers who are used to picking off low and slow lancs and just want bombers in general to stay easy kills for them.  Anybody who is any good at intercepting a bomber (although I've only had one person ever manage to shoot me down above 34k) would have almost no problem with adding more buffs to the game but it seems that anytime someone mentions another heavy (B-29, He-177, Pe-8) all you get is static for it.

Remember, the Enola Gay and sister plane needed some massive modifications in order to carry their fateful loads, so the "BUT N00K WILL UNB@L@NZ GAEM" argument is moot.

I do agree with the NO NUKES stance.  They have absolutly no place in this game and would just turn AH into a nuclear war zone.
