B-29 Super Fortress

     I have no idea how you can say this without blushing.  Score padding isn't something I would brag about.

Not score padding, I ususally do preliminary bomb drops on bases we want to take. I usually try to take a squadie with me in a goon incase I drop the whole town, that way I can strafe any guns I miss (fly 600' AGL and use the gun turrets), and do a quick take.

I just figure that if I can get some perks for bombing the crap out of an undefended base we want to take, spikes can do it to a base he's scouted out and actually take his time in dropping bombs.

Yes.   Yes it is.

OK, its how you score pad, but for me it isn't score padding, its a tactical bomb drop in wich I get rewarded for destroying 80% of the town in a B-25C and then putting it down on a turning carrier without damage.


If you're saying I'm score padding, then by your logic, I'm score padding everytime I take up a P-51B or an FM2 (despite the fact that I'm doing so to push myself).

The only area I have an even halfway decent score in is GV'ing, and is probably the only reason I have a rank below 1000 instead of above 2000. Its damn hard to score pad in a GV since the perks you earn for buildings destroyed without landing is small, and most enemy town aren't within driving distance.

How about milkrunning?

We should have every little gun be maned on are planes every little gun able to be maned.

[uptown]

  there's a whole list of bombers that need to be in the game before the B29

There's reasons this feature is not available. Utilize the secret weapon.

Honestly, if I see "mission heading to A35 up, join rooks", then I up bombers and go plaster the hangers or the town. If someone asks me to leave the hangers up, the I do, if not, then the go down 5mins before mission rolls in to take the base.

If I actually sough out bases with little to no defenders at them, then I would be milkrunning. Its not my fault if the knits or bish don't have guys at a base with a 5k alt advantage, thats their fault. Same as if they don't respond to a CV attack on the edge of the map, giving us 5 bases in their rear to work out of.

I think your giving me a bad time because I'm me, and because I gave honestly gained knowledge of how you COULD score pad to spikes. Next you're going to be ragging on me for shooting down a squadie if switches sides to mess up my bombing run.

OK. New term. Pointpadding.

There ya go. So I can own you in the MA with my 234.

Well the B29 is a perfect plane to destroy the strat 81st loves these strat runs but no plane would work better then probably the B29.Also is there a better plane for escorting bombers that has speed,good handling,ammo, and how long it can stay up in the air.

[Nemisis]

IMO, the P-51D or P-51B are the best at escorting. IDK the exact lenght of time it can stay in the air, but it can escort a bomber to the strats on any map where you could hit them in a reasonable ammount of time.

add the P47 D40 and up to this list

[Nemisis]

Doesn't really have the range to be a great strat escort IMO. Only toward the end when we have bases closer to the strats. And the 47M makes a much better escort than the D40.

So can the P-38 with 100% fuel and 2 DTs and still have some left after landing.  It's also true of quite a lot of other planes in AH, not just something the P-51B/D can do.

Rubber ducky still! bet ya 50 bucks i get some warning for bumping this for no reason
