B-29 Super Fortress

Yeah but you've gotta figure most of that wave would be below 10k and so far I haven't seen too many people having trouble intercepting buffs at that alt.  I'm thinking it'd be a picnic for fighter pilots too.

[Castle51]

OK, not that this'l help or hurt my case at all but seeing as how high alt interception is one of the topics here, I couldn't help but throw this one in for a little comic relief.  Hopefully I don't get thrown off the forum for it.

You must understand the I am all for the B29. But anyway we are likely not to get it because it will have even better defense than the B17's or B24's AND on top of that it has even more bombs than the lanc, heck it probably has enough bombs to level a small country like that Luxembourg place. But the fact remains that it would be an uber-bomber and as such would have be perked higher than the 262, I would even say that it should perked up in the 400 or maby in the 500 range. If one got past the forward bases during a large attack then it would level several of the best bases to counterattack from once the forward bases are captured. It would probably throw off the entire bomber v.s. fighter aspect of the game. And if YOU want to design the plane AND the interior of the plane be my guest

If we're so likely to get it, how come HTC hasn't added it in the 10 years they've been modeling planes, and terrain, and the game?

But its not impossible, right?

Sure, its possible Shooting down Me262 with A6M2 is possible too 

[Castle51]

thats another thing I dont get about all of you.  You look at the B-29 with so much hate for being an "untouchable plane" and nobody ever  mentions the 262.  Why is that, oh yeah, cause all of you use em'.

I don't hate the B-29, it simply represents the beginning of the new Era of atomic weaponry and the death of the last one.  It only served in one theatre and as an American aircraft you'd like to have seen it in both theatres.

Model it, sure, but only after the other planesets are fleshed out.  I don't mind seeing it as like one of the last 5 planes modeled, maybe sooner, but I think the German Iron guys need a few planes first, the Russkis and Itais and Japanese do, and the Wellington's a bare minimum for the Brits. 

I'd also like to see some floatplanes first.

Ground pounders might want a few as well before we model the beast.

So make it, it is killable, but make it later.  Also, accuracy of drops sucked up high, so that has to be modeled in as well.  Far more killable down low.  I think I'd model the Jap interceptors first, at least.

Sour grapes.

I honestly think we should start a thread to have an unofficial vote on who wants what plane.  I mean I understand where your comming from and totally agree with it, but I also think it would be mesed up to give the majority of the game aircraft they didnt want in the first place.  So what do you all think, wanna ask the people?

Lead the charge, I'll be the one drinking beer and eating popcorn.

Sure, it's been done in the past, that's why the Buffalo is there.  But it's still HiTech's call and historicity and overall gameplay being affected will weight any decision as well.

Consequently, if 30% say B-29, 28% say Ki-44, and 22% say He-111, don't be surprised if a Heinkel shows up in a screen shot.

I don't use the 262.

[Motherland]

But its not impossible, right?

Of course it's possible, anything's possible. I've shot down an Me 262 in a Bf 109E before.

[Beefcake]

Heh I shot down an over zealous 262 pilot using my lowly B25C turret.

 Oh you better belive it. that is one of the reasons I don't really care in stead of leaning toward not wanting it, we would all get so many kill we would be set with the 262 for life as the points you get from it should be one of if not the highest number of all vehicles in the game. Wait...what was that SHHHhh. I think the bomber pilots that will fly that wave are listening they might know enough to fly it above 10K or maby even 20K . Hey just saying, the guys we are talking about might pick up on this, not likely but possible.
