When people bring up the "We need the B-29" thread, I wait to see how fast someone posts the N00K.gif.

Generally the B-29 threads are hit with the nook gif, thus implying anyone insane enough to want the best bomber of the war, and one widely used, would automatically also demand the nook.

Same thing with the "shoot-a-cat" gif. As in anyone mad enough to want such a widely used heavy bomber is lowlife enough to murder helpless little kittens. Actually the B-29 was used to murder helpless little Japanese. Not kittens.

Other anti-29 weaponry? Implications it wasn't used much in the war. Implications anyone insane enough to use them in AH would automatically climb to 30,000' and be bullet proof.

And if we ever got the B-29 could you imagine the unwashed hordes of hairless teenagers climbing into their ME-163 "Summers Eve" rocket ships zooming skywards by the hundreds to intercept me in my B-29? This in a experimental airplane that killed more of its own pilots then it did enemy bomber crews.

Yet here they come at 600 mph to ram my 250 perk bomber they think I killed kittens to get in the first place.

The kitten isn't being murdered, it's just despondent and suicidal.

I'm all for a Luft'46 arena, but I want no part of the B29. Good sized Me-110 raids are already almost impossible to stop without a very determined group of defenders, but the same number of people flying 29s would be invincible. Then again, we'd also end up getting things like the Meteor, MiG-9, Yak-15, Ta-183, Enzian SAM, P-80, and other things that might negate the advantages of the B-29. However, that is only if the regular players can stand the wait to get to 25k alt.

It was also used to kill helpless little Japanese kittens. Still though, the B-29 would be an interesting bomber to have, just so long as the player had to sign a contract that stated that they would NOT Bomb-n-bail or make low level lanc-esque runs.

Well, b-29 without nuke has comparable ord. to the lancaster, so, the only other real advantage it'd give is guns, which really isn't much with anyone who knows how to use the ones they're givin.

Ummm....
Well, first of all, the B29 carries 20,000 lbs of ordinance. The Lancaster carries 14,000 lbs. That's a B17's bomb load difference between the two.
Second of all, the only guns that the Lancaster has outside of the tail guns are .30 cals, which are almost useless- which is why Lancasters are meat unless you get behind them.
The fact that the Lancaster has only 30 cals that can fire any direction but back is probably the only thing that keeps it from being perked.

Eventually, a B-29 should probably be added as part of the normal progression of adding planes to the game.  However, many other things should come first in my opinion.

If they add a B29 I will find a way to shoot them down without getting shot in return. If I can do it so can you (and every nine year old online isnt that scarey?).

[Saxman]

Just don't get in the tail gunner's line of fire. Twin .50cal and a 20mm cannon.
