B-29 Super Fortress

Ok, lets asked the staff of AH what there opinion of the B-29 being on AH.

What do you think Hitech?

I have a good fire suit you can wear....

[Skuzzy]

There, that's better.

Can't see whay there needs to be 5 or 6 separate discussions for one plane model.

Well, what is HQ opinion on it?

[Skuzzy]

I have nothing to do with plane selection.

Then its war..... .   But seriously, I think we should get the B-29 for a 1 week period, just to see if it really is apocalyptic.

Ok... lets just say that they DO give us the B-29.  It isnt going to be a 1 week trial of a plane that is just "kinda" like it.  I would bet that it would be included in a major update, and would have a beta trial... so the true in game capabilities of the 29 could be determined.  They will also need to fix any bugs (oh yes... there will be bugs), and see what we who love to break the toys they give us to play with will do to it, and what ridiculous tactics we will employ with it.

Trust me on this... they are not going to to take the time to model a plane, and toss it in amongst us for 1 week to see if it works.  Nope, IF we ever get one, its a long way off, is going to take a LOT of work by HTC, and will take some serious time in a Beta arena to test.  Until then...



War you shall have...

I agree, lets change this thread mood to "lets make fun of the B29 geeks cause they'll never have it"

AKP, while I may sympathize with some of you sentiments not present in your post, I must disagree, I think it would be easier to give a B24 a B29's preformance, bomb load, armament, and range, and change the shape so it looks like a B29, and, as long as there are no major bugs (such as flaps not moving, rudder disapearing, etc.), base their decision of weather or not we should get this plane, on the results of the test, and lack of mayhem. I doubt HTC wants to take time to designe a B-29's shape, dementions, armament, preformance, etc, only to decide the B29 is a bad idea and waste months of work.

Well we will just have to agree to disagree then.  I cant see them making an "ad-hoc" version of it, and see what it does and how it works.  What I do see, is that if we ever get it, they will model and test it as completely as they can in house, release a beta including the b-29, and let the beta testers find the bugs and issues they may have missed.  At that point it would not be a question of if we were getting it... it would be a reality.  The only issues remaining would be smoothing it out.

I also dont see them adding the b-29 with as many things as they want and need to do before that could and would ever happen... oh, and its not on his list either

I will give the soup guy a break on the rest of this thread, he's been working overtime.  Have to get him rested up for the next B-29 thread that I am sure will appear in the next week or so.  

EDIT: Oh... and I still think you should just ask HiTech and see what his thoughts are.  Can't hurt.

What is worse?

Asking for the 29........... Or asking for the Ar 234C-3 or the Ar 234P-5?

It really comes down to the overall game doesn't it?  Plenty of gv's and fighters to spend perks on.  But the bomber category is laughable.  And nobody wants to be laughing at HTC.

Just give us another perked bomber for crying out loud.  How about the Ju 287....... Oh wait, only 2 of those.

Here's my thoughts on the B-29s.

I honestly wouldnt mind seeing the 29 added to AH.  But as AKP said, the strat objects need to be larger and have some sort of meaning.  If it was my choice the 29 would be added, perked around 200 per plane, be launchable from 3 bases per side (the uncapturable bases)with only a runway launch and have an ENY value of 3.  So while killing things in it will be effective, but not worth many perkies.

Just my thoughts.
