B-29 Super Fortress

It's time to pull the plug on this topic and let it die.

Heres an idea,


Lets try it, 2 weeks, B29 in game no perks or nothing.


After 2 weeks pull the plane out and have a poll of wether or not to keep it.


We could argue all day and night, lets just try it..it wouldn't hurt anything to try it out for 2 weeks, if its a bad idea then no harm done.

No.

If they're gonna go to the trouble of including the b29 it might as well leave it there.  so basically give it up, concentrate on the a26 better .  I'll never understand this high altutue buff flights u guys talk about, I usually dont fly higher than 5.5k for cv or 8k for base in b26.  I hardly miss either target and make it home 7 out of 10 times unless i run out of fuel.  seems i only carry 25%  I am not willing to spend more time that that in a buff .

I dont think any of us have trouble finding bombers that fly that high.

Fortunately the effect of overworked engines doesnt effect planes in AH or you would never make it period. B-29s had a really bad problem with engine fires when the engines got overheated and there isnt a bomber pilot in the game that uses engines realistically (and why should they?). But in the real B-29 the engine fires would ignite an accessory housing made of magnesium and this would burn so intensely that the spars would burn through and the wings would fail (crewmen had fifty seconds to get the flames out or bailout within ninety seconds).

What the HELL! Really, the didn't know magnisum is flamible?

this is why you just wont understand

there's hardly a target in most maps that u cannot reach there and back with only 25% fuel.  and u are right I dont understand why  u wanna make a simple flight into an allnighter, but then again its your time.  only target where u will need lots of fuel is the hq raid, which its considered a waste of time by most people but then again, its your time u invest.

Hitech has said he is changing the zones and hopefully the 'STRAT'egy as well. I believe those long bomber runs will have more effect. By the way... I fly bombers long range usually while Im eating breakfast or lunch  and usually its a one hour sortie. I dont think its possible for it to take 'all day.'

BRING ON THE B-29!

[Thepiratecaptainmorgan]

It is nice to see so many intimidated by one plane, Historicaly its a good bomber, but it leads to the a bomb? Only in the end my friends, Sounds like fighter jocks, don't want competition for scores. or perhaps they fear the reaper?

do you play the game,....I'll just call you pirate, or did you just see a comercial or something and come here?

theres one word i need to say... but i forget what it is... Oh YEAH!!! its the word NO! nonononononononono no no no... B29's too...well its just too good. and when i cant 262 a plane i kinda get annoyed        dance banana dance

[Nemisis]

Way I see it, B-29 is the 262 of bombers. If we get an uber fighter for 200 perks, why not an uber bomber? Really, the 262 has more than enough firepower to deal with a B-29. You can't really say too many people have too many bomber perks to make perking effective, when a lot of those people also have comprable numbers of fighter perks.

[321BAR]

the B29 can fly higher than the 262, which would let it outrun it too. itd be unstoppable
