Might find one or two Ta152s up there, but not likely. More likely than not you'd just find 262s, p51s, p38s, p47s (Ns mainly, I bet), and maybe a masochistic 109k-4 or two...

Frankly, 30k means nobody is going to stop you, especially if you're going 350 AT 30k.

You'd get 1 shot on the HO, but that's it

I'd like to see B29s as well, never flown one in any game and always wanted one.

Finding bombers at 30K in anything but an HQ raid is as unlikely now as it would be with B-29's. There are posts here indicating how much runway this thing needs to even get off the ground. I should imagine that it's climb performance is lower than that of the Lancaster. Who would want to put that much time into bombing a town, city, hangers or whatever aside from an HQ. Even if you could find people to do it, they'd be sidelined simply by the amount of time they took to get into position. 30K B-29's just wouldn't be that frequent a problem. Look as how few even go to 20K right now with faster climbing bombers.

Bye the way, last time I did an HQ run we were at 25K and somehow a 110 was up there to meet us. We suspect a tip-off, but it goes to show what can get up there and play with you if the effort is worthwhile enough for them. If it were me going up that high, I'd take the 152 or a 262. Better high altitude performance. The Ta152 in particular was designed for high altitude interception.

as much as it has been denied, it would be worth the bomber perks.

and because we have a b29 doesnt mean we have to have nooks for it.

we do have daytime without nighttime

I think nukes shouldn't be added at all. Just because it CAN carry one, doesn't mean they always did...
I mean, how many nukes were trown anyway? (by B-29's)

You got enough fighter perks for a 262? The TA152 would play hell trying to catch a B-29 going 300mph I would think, plus trying to climb above it at the same time. It's also a perk plane.

Mehhh take a free p47n 433 mph at 30k with no wep, 470 with wep.

frank3 · « **Reply #40 on:** March 16, 2006, 03:22:06 PM »

Or take the Me-163, 600mph at 30k

That's teh uber shades. Total trollzorz. What guy with 2 posts puts 3 exclamation marks after requesting the B29 except a troollll???!!!? SON OF A ....

No, I don't have enough perk points for a 262. I don't fly fighters often enough to have accumulated them, but I'm sure a lot of the fighter guys have.

You'd be the better judge of the 152's capabilities, I suppose. Like I said, I don't fly fighters that often. In fact my experience with the 152 is limited and is from way back in AH1. I had understood them to be specifically designed for high altitude work. Using a perk plane to shoot down what will certainly be a perk plane seems fair.

Bronk seems to feel the P47N would be a good choice. If his statistics are correct, I'd have to say he's right and like he said, that's a perk free plane.
