B-29 Super Fortress

[Nemisis]

Here's my thoughts on the B-29s.

I honestly wouldnt mind seeing the 29 added to AH.  But as AKP said, the strat objects need to be larger and have some sort of meaning.  If it was my choice the 29 would be added, perked around 200 per plane, be launchable from 3 bases per side (the uncapturable bases)with only a runway launch and have an ENY value of 3.  So while killing things in it will be effective, but not worth many perkies.

Just my thoughts.

I say we just do away with the formation for this plane. There is no option for a formation for the B25H, or the TBM, both of which are bombers. As for the strat issue, I say we have it so bombing a factory directly affects bases. If you bomb, say, a fule refinery, then as trucks come to the bases, and when the base ups, then if you destroyed 75% of the refineries, then only 25% fule would be avalable for bases being supplied by that factory. And we should have bridges you can destroy for 5 mins, causing the convoys coming to that base, from that factory, to wait 5 minutes everytime the bridge is blown.

That is the silliest thing you have ever said brother Bish.

Your comparrison does not hold water, the 25H is an attacker really, no bombsite, no glass nose, and the TBM is a carrier based aircraft.  The 29 should be treated like a Ar234.  Perhaps the perks per plane should be closer to 300.

But then it becomes an aircraft limited to expirenced bomber pilots who WILL wipe a base off the face of the earth. Some will lancstuka with it, salvoing for 20 1000lb bombs, to drop ONE hanger. Others will use it properly, but not calibrate correctly, wiping a gun emplacment and a decent stretch of grass off the face of the earth. Some will attack cities to ensure they can KEEP using it. I think 250 is good.

As was just pointed out, there are valid reasons why the 25H and the TBM are not available in formation.  And what you are saying about changing the way strat targets effect the game, and adding bridges that mean something is just the kind of thing I have been trying to say...  Those things need to happen (and several others) before we even think about getting the 29.

If it were ever brought in, it should be available in formations just like the other heavies are... and just like the 234 is.  I like what 5PointOh said about limiting where they can fly out of, and giving them an ENY of 3. 

But as for getting it anytime soon?  I just dont think we, or the game, is there yet.

+1 for B-29!

HTC has been flying the B29 for about 2 years now.  They just don't let us fly it.

I will let the Stratowishers draw their own conclusions about where this might go... but it's a step in the right direction, and would be the perfect mission for the 29.

Ok, I will accept that. I just don't think using "its just to powerfull" as an excuse for not getting it, as there are ways to get arround that. I, personally, just want the B-29 so I can fly it. I don't want an uber base destroyer, My squad and I wiped a base off the face of the earth last week. BTW, it was 3 sectors away from the nearest base, so so our mission had practicly NO stratigic pouropus. One of our members was leaving so we felt like destroying something.

Agreed.

Thats like adding bailed pilots bazookas with 2 rds that can knock out a tiger at .3k and saying it would be too powerfull, and saying you can only use it for 100 perks, only when you have 10 bases left, and can only be used when taking off from the front bases.

Considering you could never fit a bazooka in a fighter aircraft in a place accessible during bailing, and that that's more that twice the effective range of a WWII bazooka, which had to be operated by a crew of two, I would say that those would be at very least fair restrictions...

I belive vehicles were operated by a crew of more than one, so we can operate a bazooka with only one person.  so how about if when ther hangars are down or the field is being capped by gv's we actually walk out of the tower with a bazooka and start blasting away.  wont that be fun.  or maybe just walk up to a tank and drop a granade or two in the hatch.
