B-29 Super Fortress

So can the P-38 with 100% fuel and 2 DTs and still have some left after landing.  It's also true of quite a lot of other planes in AH, not just something the P-51B/D can do.

Yes, I said "best at", not "the only planes capable of". I also said in my oppinion. IMO, the P-51 offers the best compromise of manuverability, speed, firepower, climb rate, and it comes with all that range  .

WOW, this is the longest thread for B-29.

You like it.

The B-29 was a great plane just put it in here give it any modifications that don't go well with the game like the nook and such.

In the scenario DGS, in each frame, the bombers that our (SAPP)'s P38s escorted had the least losses.

+1 for the b29

Did you have a higher ratio of expierenced pilots, or were you better suited to dealing with the enemies you encountered? And if so, do you still take the lower rate of losses to mean that the P-38 is superior?


I could stack an expert Il-2 pilot aginst a newb P-38 pilot, but the resulting loss of a P-38 doesn't indicate wich plane is better, only that the P-38 driver was new.

Here's another one:

P-51 driver against Ack-Ack in his 38. Ack-Ack's kill on the P-51 doesn't say that the P-51 is inferior, only that Ack-Ack was flying his P-38 against a new or average P-51 driver.

The nuke was not a stander bomb that it carry.  so no need to even bring it up.

perk the spits!!!!!

semp

k makes as much sense as this thread

[Plazus]

add the P47 D40 and up to this list

Dont forget the D11s and D25s. They are just as capable. 

[Nemisis]

Why is the D25 so rare? Is there some trade off you get for a minimal gain?

[321BAR]

I love it! i revived this thread just by spouting out rubber ducky!!!

[RTHolmes]

Why is the D25 so rare? Is there some trade off you get for a minimal gain?

cons: WEP isnt quite as strong as the D40, 4.5" rkts less bang and retain the launch tubes for more drag

pros: slightly better for perk farming, Greebo's wonderful RAF skin

[stealth]

OK,I'm sure everybody wants the B29 in this game,but what plane would kill it?
