B-29 Super Fortress

mark you down as an A since you failed to follow instructions.

                  No I dont want to see a dent in the voting card chad thingy. Its a no vote of instructions werent followed.

There are sooooo many reasons the B29 should not be in the game, yet at least, among all the other bombers Aces High is missing. You should use the search bar in the top portion of the screen.

I think maybe you should be a little less condenscending. That being said there are so many ways to offset the added abilities of the B29 (perks, limited bases, more bases for the 163's and so on), and it only has 25% more ord than the lancaster.

                         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.

                     

All that the B29 did could have been done with the B24 and the B17. By the time it showed up, Japan was already in its death throes. The B29 far from ended the war, it just quickened the process.

On the other hand, the He111 and Pe2 (among others) were the workhorse bombers of their respective countries. The Ju52 (not specifically a bomber, but another example of what I think we need) was a REAL workhorse in every sense of the word, being the Luftwaffe's main transport, a bomber during the Spanish Civil War (as well as the 111 was), and a very important civilian transport as well. Did it play a larger part in the war than the B29, in my opinion? Most certainly! A much larger part.

BTW, the atom bombs were 8k lbs weren't they? Couldnt they have been dropped by B24's had the B29 not been available?

I was MUCH less condescending than the other first 5-6 replies on this thread.

The Ar234 has a formation option, by the way. But...

No B-29s until bombers are FORCED to fly at historic cruise speeds.

B-24s in this game already break 300mph regularly.

Krusty, 5.0 asked you to respond with your answers to the poll, not a statement as to why you do or do not want the B-29.

[whiteman]

1)Would you like to see the B-29 added to the LW Arenas?
  c:I really don't care, either way

2)If the B-29 was added to the MA, should it be in a single bomber form? (Like the Ar234)
  c:Yes but each plane will cost ya

3)If ENY equals 0 what should the average perk value be per bomber?
  c:300-400

4)If the B-29 were to be added, should it be limited to one base for launch (Like the 163s)
  a:Launch only from an uncapturable field.

Yeah yeah. Follow my instructions. Answer my questions the way I want. This isn't a dead horse. Giddyup.

D. We all waste our time differently.

[Strip]

I think its fair to say that the B-29 belongs in the game for historical and gameplay reasons.

Should dozen planes come before it? Sure

Should it make it in a some point? Absolutly

No, the B-24 did not have adequate range.  To lift the atomic bombs would have also required modifications like the Lancaster had for the 22,000lb bomb, e.g. removal of the bomb bay doors and allowing the atomic bombs to be hung half in and half under the belly.

Eventually the B-29A should be added, but it will be a huge task for HTC and there is no immediate need for it.

Krusty, 5.0 asked you to respond with your answers to the poll, not a statement as to why you do or do not want the B-29.

He's asking nonsense questions.

First he asks if you would like it. Then he assumes you do, asking "if it's included" but then gives options that make no sense
The Ar234 has formations. He says "no formations, like the Ar234" then he gives another option "no, give them formations" then he gives another option "yes, formations, but you have to pay for each"

Well, 1) the Ar234 has drones already in this game. He's giving a false comparison. 2) obviously the B24 would have formations, so why would you vote to have formations? and 3) you pay additional perks for each drone as-is, that's how it works already for the Ar234.

I figured with such scattered and inaccurate thoughts that he wasn't being serious or COULDN'T be taken seriously, and voiced an opinion relevant to the topic at hand and on-subject.

So my response was valid.
