btw, only two nukes were used in the war. along with the fact that with the destruction we created using conventional warfare in WWII these two nukes only created (what was it?) 1:100th of the destruction throughout the war by the allies in europe alone?

Yes, but we weren't event talking about nukes......

Prior to the decision to use the B-29 serious consideration had been given to using the British Avro Lancaster to deliver the weapon, which would have required much less modification, but the idea was vetoed by General Groves who thought it "beyond comprehension to use a British plane to deliver an American A-bomb".

So. If the Lancaster had dropped the A bomb. Would we have the B29 instead of it?

IDK the exact odds, but I'm guessing its around 5-1. But concidering I don't usually make it back to a base, I figure if I knock half its wing off, he can't bomb with that plane, so he has to bail, lessening the damage he can do.

Well, if it works, congratulations.  If it doesn't, at least you try.  Try to go for the pilot wounded shot.

What we need in the game is something more to bomb.They have the big city but you half to wait a couple days for a base to get close if it even happens,also you gotta fly like 10 sectors to get there.We need like some neat things to bomb like damns or little ships in port make a train station.The little things like that.Plus they gotta have purpose damns blowing up with some how shut off water supply ships wont be able to make it to ports to re-sup them and so on.B29 is a great plane but it needs more then just 2 cities and a couple factories to bomb.

No.

Have a question. What is the best way to rack up buff perks? I used to use the strats in Ju88s (NOT FOR SCORE) but since they are gone, the only ways I could do it is bombing CV's in 88s. Used to get 20+ perks a run if the sides were unbalanced.  Any tips? I have 2 bomber perks to my name and miss out flying 234s with Glasher.

the lanc could drop the 22000 lb grand slam bomb. Thats not too far off from the b17 I believe

     Bet it would be interesting watching Lancs try to take that Grand Slam from Saipan to Hiroshima
though.  Hope the Brits are good swimmers, that's alot of water to cross

By ordnance weight limitations I'm referring to HTC's limitations. The last statement limited ordnance to 4,000 pounds maximum.

Go to an undefended base or to the MW arena, and destroy a town, land, and repeat. I've gotten around 5 perks per run at times. Slower than your way (as far as perks per run), but you don't have to hunt down a CV, or waste time flying to the strats in a B-25C.

Also, try GV boming in the boston, I've gotten 3 perks for 2 kills I didn't land. Strafe what you can't bomb, so you still get the assists.

A few I have done in the past...all work well. Another I like to do is fly into the biggest red dar bar in an IL2 with 23mms and take as many as I can down with me.

     I have no idea how you can say this without blushing.  Score padding isn't something I would brag about.

This is how to score pad but I don't use it in that sort of way. As an Ar234 dweeb I am constantly low on perks after putting my sexy airplane in harms way just to blow guys up with my rear guns.
