Can't have the B29 because we as a community can't be trusted not to abuse it.

yeah, and we also need a n00k, badly, lol.

there are very good reasons the B-29 isnt in the game. but hell, i wish it was.


And what are those?

As it stands we have nothing to spend our bomber perks on. Other then a pretty much irrelevant jet bomber.

I was thinking about that today as I stared at all those worthless bomber perks and have been reading all these "thank you AH for allowing me to play your game" accolade threads.

One perked bomber. And that be'ith a Queen.

I think we don't have the B-29 for same reason we don't have the He 111.

Here is the problem, aside from the stability issue the B-29 had. It has the same/better armor than the already super uber B-17. Has TWO, not one, but two 20mm cannons. It is grossly faster than many bombers and can climb so high every fighter that would try and risk it would die.

It requires extra long, and strengthened runways to get up in the air; it can carry enough ordinance to knock 1 1/2 bases off the face of AH. The fireball alone of the Fat Man bomb was 218.72 yards. That is 0.12 of a mile. Can you imagine the blast force and radiation?

Trigger2, I said it in the first post...


SCREW THE KITTENS!!!     I hope they DIE!

No, my other thread had a different title.

Guys I am not supporting the Nuke. I say it should go the way of the kittens in fact.

I want something to spend perkies on that offers something other than speed, almost pointless bombload, and no defensive armament.

And for all you who whine that it will slaughter fighters, answer me this... Have you ever survived fighting a 190A-8? If so then you should be fine ATTACKING, as long as you are not stupid enough to stay still and attack in the cannon armed areas.

I couldn't care less about the 20mm tailgun, although that is a factor that leads me to say "NO!" What's the main other one? BOMBLOAD! 20,000lbs of ord is enough to make the game a one man show, WHICH it is NOT supposed to be, this game is designed to require teamwork, not 1 buff to drop 3 bases and then grab a goon. So, I would like to point you to the picture I posted that had the title of "Futility."
