B-29 Super Fortress

[vonKrimm]

For those who don not want to B-29 on AH.  Give me (and other who would like it on AH) reasons why it doesn’t need to be on AH.

Because it would replace the Lanc as the prefered dive-bomber.  Poor Lancs, relegated to Hanger Queen status!  Oh the ignominity of it all!

Yeah, only if people want to blow alot of perks to use it like that.

Well atleast we will have something to spend our perks on that might die.  Everytime I up a set of 234s, I come home with more perks; thus I will never run-out until we have something silly-yet-fun like the B-29.

And there will be ppl that won't care if they blow perks using it that way.  Give us toy for the game & we will toy with the game.

This is true vonKrimm, I have this uncanny ability 234s as an NOE anti shipping role and somehow survive the fleet ack to make it home. And yes I also will admit I'll be one of the first to up a B29 and dive bomb a lone panzer just for the heck of it.

Yup, bring in the B29. Perk it heavy. Let's see, ~6600ft runways, ~8000ft take off run needed to lift that puppy off the ground with a load any heavier than a pilot in his nicks with a baloney sandwitch tucked in them for later. Yup, that'll work.

more like load her up and take off from any runway having a cliff at the end, if thats even necesarry at all.

Overlord you NEED to learn some restraint untill you have made AT LEAST 75 posts that are well thought out, constructive, positive, non offensive, and commented positively on by respected members (not sure if I count probably I don't, you should probably go with nickle at least, maby silver).

[LLogann]

Kid will learn soon enough.... But looking through posts thus far, I'd say it's a young kid done with highschool, perhaps grammar school, almost done with their 2 weeks.  Then again, forgive me if I have insulted you overlord!

And why don't we just sticky this?

[Castle51]

Or could be some dude in his mid 40s going through his mid-life crisis.  Though I'm not gonna rag on him too much cause he kind of had a point although I would have put it another way. 

[Nemisis]

I agree with his point, just not the manner in which he conveyed it.

wow, ornery little bastard aint he?

 Anyway, I'm sure the B-29 would be modled to use the runways already in the game.  As it is, even with a fully loaded lanc you can still get off the ground using a little under 2/3 of the runway through the use of flaps.  I don't really know all the details about the terrain update coming up but they may even have thought of this issue and encorperated it into the new maps.  So if we get a bunch of maps with longer than usual runways, It could be a sign....

Central most or closest to edge of map base in center for each nation could be a massive bomber base upping 29s, Lancs, etc., how about that?

[Castle51]

Sounds good to me.  That or just remodel the three 163 bases with 10,000 foot runways if like I said, its even necessary.  That way you could at least predict where the bombers would be coming from.
