FW200 is fine
B29 NEVER!

FW200 YES!
B29 YES!!

The perk system is a way for HTC to introduce some interesting but otherwise unbalancing planes on a limited basis but the benefits go deeper than that.  Perk planes (and vehicles) would be things like Me 262s, Ta 152s, Tempests, B-29s, Ar 234s, Tiger IIs, etc.  These are interesting rides but would be very unbalancing if they were available on an unlimited basis.  So there won't be unlimited availability but they'll be available as bonuses or perks every so often.

Sir's, Pilots, Old Timers and Newbies....
Along with bigger bomber hangers, I believe that we need B29's.(dont dismiss me yet please)

It's been 8 years since I started playing, and I believe its time(Finaly) to include this plane' and i'd personaly be completly willing to wait 12 months for this upgrade.

I realise though that the gunner positions would be tough but, with tab, or another command we could set convergence with the guns on this bomber solving one inherent problem with this design....

Believe me I realise the time/pain it would take to bring this bomber to the game, the gunner positions alone would be an enormouse accomplishment, but unlike any other sim I believe that this one has the player base, (full of unused bomber perks) to support the development of this war-winning design.


We neeed this plane, and its an addition that MUST be eventualy be included if this game is to survive..

That said, with the B-29 included I wouldnt be surprised if the entire fleet of fighters in the game wouldnt be given a higher eny,(i.e. the eny of each fighter plane in the game could raise a point or two making a curently expensive fighters a little bit cheaper), because the bomber game has become so much better,

This is that kind of bold addition we need to continue the mark of tradition, and historical game play that makes this such a great game.
forgive the misspells and the repeat of so many requests, but there is a reason we cry for this plane, though it might be devoid of a nuke!!.

Another vote here :aok

Definately no nukes.  Unless you were all alone, you would killshoot yourself anyway :D.

Given it's historic significance and the fact that it is likely the most requested addition to AH, I'm all for it.

One main gripe I hear is it's enormous bomb load is too much.  Well, that could be fixed by not allowing formations (just a suggestion).

A heavey mission of Lancasters could carry more than the B-29. B-29 could only carry 20k bombs, max load on a Lancaster was 22k IIRC.  :aok

It is time we get the B-29. Perk it out somewhere in the 500 point range. No NUKE. NO Formation. :salute

I wouldn't mind seeing the B-29 in AH2, but well after all other important missing planes are added.

That could be about 8-9 years from now. :rofl
