Sorry JB88, if you're going to one retarded extreme, I'm going to the other.

He said till 46, so I think it does meet that.  Not totally sure... Bearcat was the fastest prop stock warbird ever made... Would be just as bad as a B29 though.

the nukes would be a historically accurate bonus.

yeah, thats the thing everyone forgets about the B29... It is not just a bigger bomber...

The ME163, and the ME262 were SPECIFICALLY designed to counter the B29... (when the Germans believed it was going to be deployed in Europe)The B29 was such a GIANT leap forward that it was largely untouchable by any conventional fighter.  It was faster than many of the fighters of the time and flew much higher.

It would walk in ranks across the AH maps and there would be no other fight than to try to stop the B29... Thats not fun gaming.  Thats just poo.

Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

For the first few months, sure, while the bomber guys finally have something to waste their 20,000 perks on.  Once that phase is over it will be no more annoying then 262's already are.

No, the reason you don't have an arena full of 262's is that they suck.  If the Spit14 cost the same as a 262 I would take a spit14 every day and twice on sunday.

You wanna know how to defeat a 262... Easy... TURN.  I teach this complex tactic to my squad and not one has ever been killed by a 262.  (excluding when flying a goon... 262's are efficient goon killers) Heck, I shot down a 262 with a zeke... All the 262 brings to the party is fear.  Learn that the fear is stupid and suddenly they are not a threat.
