I know... if I'm above them, they can't train the .50's on me. Which is why I said they're meat as long as you don't get behind them.

The vast majority don't even have the patience to use the current bombers right. No B29.

What I was envisioning was a mission where every friendly knows who has the nuke and so dozens of other single 29s setup a formation with escorts to whatever target they want (lets say HQ)and if they succeed there wont be dar from dawn-to-dawn (or whatever time the bomb falls) and if they dont make it then they still had one heck of a time! You might think it would be easy to jump arenas but on those rare occasions it will happen on Titanic Tuesday...  I think DWHBG and a lot of other people would jump on that!

TT might get one guy a lot of kills but big missions usually give more people more kills. Just saying...

Just remember that the nukes were dropped from close to the B-29's max service altitude. And the delivery planes STILL had to haul-ass and maneuver wildly to escape the blast radius as soon as the bomb was released.

The whines when a 29 driver gets his 2500-perk bomb to target, drops it, and then LOSES those 2500 perks when he waporizes himself with his own blast radius would be priceless. :D

We seriously need to have the B-29 threads condensed and stickied.

This is one of the things bomber pilots dont do that they should and the B29 would be no different. If you fly a B24 to 32k as I do quite often (see thndreggs response in the other B29 thread) you have the option of getting the heck out of Dodge City very fast and leaving any climbing cons far behind. Every airplane has a published Vne and you can push AHII bombers right up to the Vne by using the '.speed ###' command. Most times a 109 (for instance) will load 50 fuel thinking he is going to intercept and be home for dinner. WRONG! Leave him in the dust! Same goes for the B29 after dropping the load.

Having said that if they whine now you know what to tell them!  NOOBS dont belong in perk rides! :aok

As I said tho, in the case of the nukes this was just to avoid getting caught in your own blast radius AT 40,000ft. :D The nuke dweebs would probably think they can NOE a B-29 in to do the job.

As for the running out of dodge in the manner you describe, if the drone leash was tightened that might take care of that silly problem. ;)

Read the first post... my idea was no drones for a couple of reasons. 1| no extra eggs (nukes) and 2| dead giveaway theres a nuke on board. Besides the war time nuke missions were solo werent they?

If I remember right it was a three formation setup one with the bomb and two camera planes to record the results. Another thing is that IF the B29 is ever put in the game it will not have a nuke. Why not? Because pyro has already said that it would never be put in the game.

One had the NUKE one had cameras and one had scientists doing experiments  :noid

1+1+1=3 sounds like a formation...

Well Chalenge, here is my reply to your original post, since you didn't like the appropriate pictures that spell out how I really think of your request to add the N00K.

The B-29 has been asked for numerous times, and the general consensus is that it would be to unbalancing.  The SEARCH button will help you in that respect, I suggest you try to use it in the future.  As to your N00K!!!1!!!1 request, again to unbalancing.  Also, only two sorties, out of hundreds of thousands of regular sorties, means it was an insignificant contribution, despite having spectacular results. 

B-29 threads in general-----------------------------FAIL
The OMG add teh N00K! it was used u must add it?---EPIC FAIL
