B-29 Super Fortress

Pfft, that B-29 is so unrealistic.  My animated pic is much better.

Hello all , this is my first time using aces high forums so I thought id give it a try. I was wondering why Aces High didn't have the b29. I started to ask around in the game and everyone poked fun. I thought since we have planes like the 163 , which were rarely even used , and the plane that ended the war , which was often used , we should have it. When I was reading the forums , I saw a post by Kappa , talking about perked load outs. Well , people in the gamr say that we wont get the b29 because then everyone will ask for the atom bomb. That could be an extra perked option of the b29. B29 could be a High perked bomber and have a perked load for the atom bomb. X 3 drones. Then we would have the incredable plane of the b29 and it wouldnt be cheap to take out. Anyways , the b29 is my wishlist and i hope soon we can get this sweet sweet bomber.

i say if we get a b 29 with any type of nuke or a bomb that there should be a cool down of at least 1 day before u can equip another nuke.

Didn't I already comment on this?  Oh wait, that was one of the other 3000 threads....

Hey, at least he searched.

Well thats dumb , because this game is about world war 2 simulation and we had 22,000 pound lanc bombs and we had the atom bomb.

Pop quiz.  Someone identify the incorrect assertion in the above quote.

"that's dumb" ?

[Cthulhu]

The game is not about World War 2 simulation, but about HTC making money?

My assumtion is you belive the game should be a WWII simulator. I do not belive that Aces High should be a WWII simulator,and it shows up in our description of what aces high is on our home page. Aces High primary purpose is an ACM simulator that uses WWII aircraft. At times AH will be used as a WWII simulator but this will be in senario base functions and other events.

Simply put Aces high is a game. If you ask what type of game is it. Its an air combat sim.

I do believe Murdr speaks of the payload.  No, no, that isn't an assertion, it's a fact.  22k bomb?  Well, yes, there was the "Grand Slam" but that bomb has no practical application in the game.  Only 41 were dropped in the war.  Even wiki would tell you the standard payload is 14k. 

Pop quiz.  Someone identify the incorrect assertion in the above quote.

So maybe even two wrongs righted?

Grand Slam:

The bomb was used three times. Once to test its abilities, Once to bomb Nagasaki, and once to bomb Hiroshima. You think something used three times should be in this game?

i agree. the 163, though not used much, struck fear in the bombers/ escorts hearts, same with the 262, when they saw the contrails of the jet engines. no offense, but even though the b29 was used a lot, youd hear the same thing, "WHEN WE GETTING THE NOOK!!!!!". I personally dont think we need a b29, you want to drop mass amounts of ord use the Lancaster. a B24 can flatten the FH's, VH, and BH's all at a field, if you are accurate with your bombs. lancs carry much more than the 24, think of what lancs can do on their own?

[JETBLST]

As much as I'd LOVE to see the B29, and yes my official vote is Yes to the B29, you can do alot with Lancasters.

When I first started with Aces High, that was the only plane, vehicle, what have you, that I would not die in.  Why?  Because I was, and still am, the dweeb that learned how to take out ords, troops, guns even, from above 20k.  If you want mass destruction take up the Lancs with the 500/4000 pound package.  Learn how to calibrate.  How to hold calibration.  Set your graphics all the way up, and learn how to zoom in your bombsight.

If anyone would like help with High Altitude drops, calibration, multi targets in one pass etc, I would be more than happy to help, just ask me if you see me in the MAs  We can go to the TA, they have excellent facilities there.

Hint...  It's all in the configuration and power settings.

Once you get all of that down pat, you can be extremely devistating with Lancs.  If your high enough they dont even know your there. 

Oh.  Taking out the Radar first helps the bombing go so much better too.

Oh the irony.

AH2 could use b-29 with just like 30bombs but no A-bomb beacuse then it would be over in ten seconds. Well  to all.
