I meant in AH2.

That might be why we dont have the B29 in the game. Besides they wouldnt have to come in formations and even if they did there is nothing that says the B29 would be any safer to fly then what we already have. The 'immunity attack' that I posted about is the same attack the Japanese used against the B29s in order to defeat the radar directed guns and it worked for them! 

I fly above 30k now in B24s.  Well except I stopped doing that.

I like the B29 too but it has some really bad tendencies and I think it would be a hard bomber to stop which might make it a good thing for AH. Then again...

This will be the LAST plane that's added.  Besides, it's a very slow climber.

Press Release, breaking news

Ben Stiller has decided to suspend making anymore movies, scrapping the new " BEN STILLER IS A CARROT IN DERP DE DOO DIPITY BURP DE DO"

"They just keep making B29 threads, I can't keep up" the over strained actor commented, sweating bullets.

" My acting days may be over "

I dont think 900 ft/sec is slow for a bomber that carries a standard load of 24 1k bombs with the range to go 3250 miles.

The real worry is that the guns should have twice the effective range of manually aimed guns (actually 500 yards should be max for 17s/24s/26s) which in AH would mean 2000 yds?

This is actually an old thread.

Up to 20,000 lb of bombs in two internal weapons bays rated at 10,000 lb each.

Typical load was:
4 × 4,000 lb bombs, or
8 × 2,000 lb bombs, or
12 × 1,000 lb bombs, or
40 × 500 lb bombs, or
50 × 300 lb bombs, or
80 × 100 lb bombs.

Well that's a lot.  Especially the 500 and 300 lbers.  The 1st three load outs don't look out of line compared to the Lancaster.

...80 × 100 lb bombs...

does the b29 have an excact date of when its going to be released?

[Noir]

IN

Nice bait.

IF that wasn't bait remember that they never said the B29 would be added, and even less gave dates. HTC NEVER give dates.

My hint is 20160 minutes.

In 2 weeks

[fullmetalbullet]

just add it so ppl would stop asking for it!!!

Nice first post. Obviously a shade.
