I feel the same way when you start typing.
What? Your gonna criticize me about everything because I'm not PC?
It is not the end, it is not even the beginning of the end, but it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.

Enough already. We know you don't want the B-29.

Why not HTC put a rough copy of the B-29 in a Titanic Tuesday when ever they get it ready, and leave the normal arenas up for whoever doesn't want to play. The rough copy would be simply a B-29 that flys correctly, has a B-29's bombload, speed, and armament. Not all the animation has to be right. It could look like a B-24 for all I care, I just want to see if the B-29 will be as apocalyptic as many say. As for all of you who say we should have a propper B-29 for the test model, then I say "design it yourself". I bet HTC wouldn't want to waste the work required to build a B-29.

As for the problem arising from the B-29's remote controlled turrets, why not just put a regular turret in for the test model to make thing easier and not to waste work should the B-29 not work out. If it is decided the B-29 won't end the world, then I propose we have it so see it through a gun camera. I would bet that's how they had it in WW2. Just simply have it from a gun camera our sight on the screen. I can't think of a simpler way to do it. Remember, this will only be a test. If HTC get a large ammount of complaints regarding the negative impact of the "B-29" to the game, then all they have to do is remove it, and all that would be wasted be some changes to a B-24 or B-17.

I know spikes. At least it's not the flat out rejection I half expected.


This WOULD involve some work, but not nearly so much as if HTC were to design a B-29, add it into the game, and fix the bugs, and THEN see how people feel about it.

Way too many birds out there that should come first.  Putting the time into a 'test' model 29 would take away from that.

It's still about blowing more stuff up fast and doing less in a hurry.

Not having the B-29 on AH is like not having P-51s or 109s.

I agree, this was just a way to solve the argument. I was suggesting this for when we fill out some of the weak spots in our plane set.

If you ever wanted to keep my annoying ideas out of the wishlist forum, posting more of these B-29 threads is the way to do it.  I'm about to vomit.

Why does everyone freak out about a THREAD involving the B-29 :huh. Next AKP is gona post that "No B-29 for you" picture up. Its a DISCUSSION people. Weather on not we get a B-29 won't be decided by these threads, and by whoever screams loudest. If this were the 'whatever you post in here, were putting in the game' forum, then I could see a point to the slugging matches that stem from someone even talking about the B-29 :furious. But it's not.
