Perked Bomber - I am at a loss...
« on: July 01, 2009, 08:48:45 AM »
Ok... this isnt going in the Wishlist section, because it isnt a wish... yet. 

As you all know, the only perked bomber we currently have is the Ar234... which is only available in the LW arenas.  I have scoured the web and all my aircraft books looking for a bomber that is better than any of the ones we have now (leaving out the obvious "bomber that shall not be named lest little kitties and puppies be put to death" ) that would deserve being perked.

Everything I have seen is either what we already have, equivalent to what we already have, wasnt produced in enough numbers, or wasnt as good as what we have now... with the exception of ONE.  And even as an "in game" bomber pilot, I wouldn't want to see that one introduced.

So my question is this:  Is there a bomber out there.... SOMEWHERE.... that I have missed somehow.... that meets the criteria for inclusion in AH2... as a perked bomber... for ANY arena?    If there is, I havent found it.

Anyone, Anyone?.... Bueller?  Bueller?

Forgot who said this while trying to take a base, but the quote goes like this. "I cant help you with ack, Im not in attack mode" This is with only 2 ack up in the town while troops were there, waiting. The rest of the town was down.

As you said "any arena" ... I could imagine the Do 217 being perked in EW arena, if it ever gets introduced to AH, just like the Lancaster is.

I don't understand why the A26 should be perked for any reason other than that we "need" another perked bomber?

That's why I've always advocated a very highly perked B1 Lancaster with the Grand Slam and/or Tallboy as a perk option although it would have to also not be available in formation mode.

Examples of bombers that could be added that would be perked would the A-26, B-29 and Mosquito B.Mk XVI.

I guess the B7A2 'Grace', Il-10 and He177A-5 Grief might be potential perk bombers as well.

A-26 is an "attack" aircraft.

And if added wouldn't need to be perked.

That really wouldn't surprise me.

The A-26 would really tear up the arenas.

That is before it was taken down by any number of planes or gvs.

Yup it would really upset the balance of gameplay.

Lmao!!

You can send your bomber perks to my account so I can fly my 234s more often. :)

I think you are significantly under estimating the A-26.

Is it going to be at a disadvantage in a 1v1 fight with a Spit XVI?  Yes, but it will also be significantly capable of evading said Spitfire.  In addition, flown with a bit of panache, it will easily down most fighters.

Think of it as an A-20G on steroids.
