It has more than twice the ordnance loadout of the 24 (20,000 lbs vs. 8,000 lbs), its super fast at altitude, its got an insane armament (2x ,50s and a 20mm in the tail!), and is heavily armored. Its essentially invincible unless you catch someone sleeping in it. Plus, it served a comparitively small part in the war vs. the He-111, Pe-2, Ju-52 etc...

                         A small part? About 4,000 were made and they flew combat missions for about 15 months of the last stage of the war. They flew 34,000 sorties and dropped 160,000 tons of bombs on Japan single handily destroying or damaging almost all their cities and industrial production. Of course all of it ending with the atomic bomb attacks. The B-29 basically destroyed Japanese capability to conduct modern war.

                       A "comparatively small part"? Boy I dont know where you got that idea from.

ok i dont want the nuke, i dont know why you guys keep saying the nuke, the 29 is NOT invincible ok. Just because it cruises a little bit and goes a little faster doesnt mean its the end of the war ok. AND PLEASE QUIT WITH THE NUKE! ty.

No to b29. I'll say it 81 times. End of story.  It would make the rest of the BUFFS hangar queens.  One B29 would carry as much as an entire set of B24's.  The current set of bombers is quite enough... notice how all the veteran players are against it.  One plane should not change the entire game.

I get the feeling those that want the B29 are the same ones that fly at 38K on HQ missions at 330 in the morning... All words and afraid of the fight.  You already have laser bombsights and gunnery positions... now you want 3x the bombs too?   In WW2 it took 300 bombers to put three 500lb bombs  within blast radius of a target.... you can hit a single building with a single bomb consistently without any real practice at all, in AH2.

The B29 has not been modelled for good reason.

It was funny because I didn't mean the A6M zero. I meant the number 0. as in the B29 is fine if its 30000 perks.

since i have become a member of aces high i have been visiting the website,frequently, and i have noticed that the designers have been putting out only fighter and tanks,so far. i have been talking with other member on aces high about "would it be a good idea for hitechcreations to develop and put out the B-29" out of 100 members that i asked 82% said "yes" and 18% said "no". since your the designers it is up to you about what aircraft goes on the game, but as my opinion as a fellow gamer i think it would be a very good idea.

alright, look here is the thing, I'm atleast not going to be a sweetheart about it like nearly EVERYONE else about this (there are the few nice exeptions). There is a few things that everyone wants that HTC is not going to give them. 1. Is the B-29 2. Is night. 3. Kamakizis. 4. Perked La-7 5. Battleship.

Since I'm sure that half of these dweebs that will end up making fun of you had posted this before, I'm just preparing you for the "forum beating" to come. There is always this group of players that scan for this just to put "you are a dweeb" or "N00B!."

Since I'm trying to be as nice as I can, and before this thread is locked, you gonna get alot of hell. 


p.s. I've posted dweebish stuff like this when I started the forums  :D

LOL, um, in case you didn't notice, he wasn't directly asking for the B-29.  He was just pointing out how it had a larger contribution to the war effort then some have made it out to seem.
