B-29 Super Fortress

Hell, you don't see people complaining about the 262, and that think is damn near untouchable. When one is near a base, people avoid it untill it RTB's.

Yea, and now it is being used to the point that some ppl are flying it like a temps or spit. 

[gyrene81]

how do you know i do not fly them?  How do you know ppl are waiting for the b-29 so they can milk run on bases and town?  What eals are you to used the B-29 for, in a furbal.

Just guessing by your stats over the last 6 months...and why else would anyone want a super late war bomber for besides milk runs? We gots to win deh warz...    There are plenty of bombers that can do that now.



If the B-29 were added 5 years from now, that would be a good time line...maybe by then some of the gaps would be filled and it would make sense.

I don't avoid the 262...and it can be touched, even with a lowly 190A8...and yes people do complain about, i.e. "if we have the 262 why not have the B29?" line of thinking.



Caldera, there weren't that many produced in comparison to some planes in AH...something like 2800...there were just a lot of sorties flown by the ones that were online from 44 to 45.

My squaddie got whacked by an i16 in his 262. It can be touched.

Super late?  I would not say it is a super late but late bomber.  And what eals is the bomber suppose to do?  get into dogfights?  We only have three bomber that can "milk runs".  bases.

OK, to spikes and greyene81:

Damn near, when flown properly, asside from lucky hits. If they're flown properly, they won't make turn except to line up on a target, and to come around for another pass. Pretty hard to catch them when they're coming in from a dive and have 550mph.

Lets face it, if we're getting a WW1 arena when the main focus has been WW2 aircraft, then eventually we WILL get a B-29, and theres nothing you can do to stop it. The only thing that will stop it is the demise of Aces High, and i'm SURE none of you want that.

We might not get it for 5 years, but we WILL get it.

and thats why AW used to have a WWI arena before the group separated to make this wonderful game and its evilll counterpart with its evilllly better graphics but pooooor game quality   banana   but what plane can climb to 35k with full load and have a max speed of 350 mph at alt to counter the B29 in game? and btw its 40k limit was when it was stripped bare with only a nuke strapped to its belly

Can you please claify? I don't follow you.

Well duh, that is what they were designed to do...I love people who complain about "picking 262s". I mean, does someone really want a 262 to turn fight with them?

[321BAR]

I meant that its not the first time that we have had WWI just not in this game yet... AW had WWI before they split up so i understand that we're getting it before other WWII craft

To be honest, I'm quite excited to see them working on WWI fighters.  I still remember the Red Baron days (DOS game for those who don't know).  I had a blast with that game.  There were a few other WWI games after that, but my DOS machine couldn't handle it and the next computer I got, was far too powerful to run them.  I think the first plane I will take up will either be the Fokker Dr.1 or the Fokker D.VII.

As Nemisis said, "We might not get it for 5 years, but we WILL get it.".  I agree.  The HTC staff will eventually add B-29.

I respect the fact that some are excited for WWI, but I came to AH for WWII, and truely wish they would have at least updated the rest of the current planes before branching off onto to WWI. I mean look at the P-40s FM2, A6Ms ect ect that have not recieved an update, yet very popular throughout the game.

You actually looked up his stats???

You just can't accept that some people have a different outlook than you do on the subject.

If its not your way, its no way.

I guess you have not yet went 1 v 1 with grizz or kappa.  Last night i (p-51) fought grizz (262) in a mid speed scissor fight.  I really can not figure how he turns that 262 like a spit, accelerated it like a spit and clime so well at low speed.  It was a good 5 min fight but he got me with some BS uber move.  

[Spikes]

I turn fought with Grizz when I caught him going home in my 234. We duked it out going further and further to his base for about 5 minutes. Got hits on him and hurt him but he got me in the end, low n slow 234 vs a helluva shot with a tater...who did you think was gunna win?

234 VS 262?  hummm.  I would pick the 262.

IDK, whenever your in a 262, those things are made of paper. But then again, so is anything.
