B29 Superfortress and a thought from a squaddie
« on: September 24, 2007, 10:08:35 AM »
What about the bomber that brought Japan to her knees... The B-29! This airplane could be the second perk bomber in AH2. It seems strange that the Luftwaffe's AR 234 is represented and not the Superfortress. This could make high altitude bombing VERY interesting.

Also...
One of my squad mates was talking yesterday about "Luftwaffe '46" aircraft I don't know how practical it would be from a modeling perspective but it could be fun... Also the Japanese had several interesting aircraft late in the war like the manned "Buzz Bomb" Kamakazie CV killer and the Japanese version of the ME-262 for example (this aircraft had slightly better performance that its German "parent").

I agree with Denholm (but not with the agressive no part :lol  ) Get other country bombers in first, then get the B-29....262 perk value maybe??
