B-29 Super Fortress

[glock89]

nope actually it was kinda faster then the german ME-262 and the jap ME-163 was used for kamakaze.

Problem never use in combat so why do we need a plan that was never in WW2? 

[Ack-Ack]

The jap version of the Me-262 didn't have any guns and had the same top speed as the P-51 i think.

The Nakajima J9Y Kikka and the Nakajima Ki-201 Karyu were both armed.  The interceptor version of the Kikka was faster than the P-51D though the IJN "special attack" (Kamikaze) version had a top speed of 420mph at altitude (6,000m).

nope actually it was kinda faster then the german ME-262 and the jap ME-163 was used for kamakaze.

The J8M Shūsui was intended to defend the Japanese homeland against the B-29 raids and not designed as a "special attack" plane, though I am sure the Japanese pilots would have been encouraged to fly their J8M's into the bombers if all else failed but it was not intended to be used solely as a kamikaze platform.

I think the n00k issue has been put to bed ITT.  The B-29 will probably be added, although I hope much, much later, after the huge gaping holes in the plane set are filled.  It will rightly be perked heavily, and after the initial rush of use (and getting shot down left and right as Chalenge states), it will likely be relegated as a hangar queen.  Seen infrequently, as other bombers are as capable, and don't cost any perkies.

The only ones clamoring for the B-29, fall into two camps IMHO: the, "It was the iconic bomber of the Pacific theater" camp, and the "OMG! the amount of perkies I will get for shooting them down in my PEE-fifyone," camp.

Will it get added...Yes.  Should it be added next...NO, the gaps in the early war plane set, the VVS, Italian, and Japanese plane sets, should take precedence over another American bomber.

thank you for proving my point B-29 later on EW and MW planes are needed now along with some new GV's.

I defenitely agree with the B29-n00k being binned, for good

Here's what I mean, only 15 B29's were refitted to handle a nook payload, codenamed "Silverplate" B-29's. They featured a dramatic reduction in armor, removal of all gun turrets except the tail gun, different propellers, and modifications to the bomb bay.

In short terms, adding the n00k would require more [whatever game programmers do] to replicate the two different aircraft, including the addition of a brand-new bomb rather than the "general purpose" bombs we have been using this far.

Additionally, unless HTC thinks of some way of making n00ks not look like overkill on the "small" bases/towns/whatnot, we at least won't get the "silverplate" b-29

Or I say... "It will arrive in 1,209,600,000 Milliseconds"

You all crack me up really. Pyro said it isnt going to happen. I described how it COULD BE brought in.

Did someone that I ignore wish for it?

HMMM!!!  Your posting in the WISHLIST forum on how a plane could be brought into the game.  That sounds to me like your wishing it was added.  Teach me your logic, it sounds much more advanced than our Earth logic.

You are also right that Pyro is going to have to work out the remote turrets thing, and it looks to be to complicated to deal with on his end of things at the moment.  One has to wonder why did you post this thread if you knew there was not a remote chance that the B-29 would be integrated into AHII for the foreseeable future?

Because it's written somewhere you can't be a dweeb until you post a B-29 thread.

Well that sure explains a lot of things then.   

I vote that this thread gets locked, who's with me?

It is a wish list & the B29 has a much better chance than say F16's & other assorted nonsense of that type that people ask for.

well i say screw EW and MW planes becuase they will just not really be used if someone in the arena has a ME-262 nobody is gonna use the early war planes the mid war planes yes but the early war planes they are underpowered and are slow compared to most of the aircraft that you have now. i mean the P-51 was the best fighter of WW2 german ace pilots were getting shot down by rookie pilots in P-51s and the aces were using ME-109 and FW-190s and they were seen as better then any american and british and russian plan at that time. but its always said its not the airplanes its the pilot inside the airplane that makes a diferance.

Fine we take out all the LW planes and put in all the EW and MW planes that fair.

fmb,

Punctuation is your friend. 

[caldera]

His posts are a veritable treasure trove of linguistic anomalies.

[Iron_Cross]

  I am stupefied, by the lack of any semblance of proper grammatical form, and punctuation, in that post FMB.  I weep for the youth of the world.
