This is a complete fabrication and has no basis in reality.

1) Skuzzy is the hardware tech guy, not the game designer.  Those decisions are made by HiTech and Pyro.
2) There is no payload limit set in AH.  The only limits for bombs that have ever been stated are a) no nukes and b) no single bomb over 4,000lbs.
True, my apologies, I remember reading that somewhere, so sorry it's not true.

But my position doesn't change. B-29 has no place in the game, 20,000 lbs of ordy standard loadout... And adding drones to the mix? No thank you.

Yea but it'd be worth it, plus in my opinion we already have enough fighters.
Uhh, enough fighters? No, we only have a fraction of those that were operational in WWII, I'd love to see more holes patched with the fighter set up before bombers go into ''overdrive.'' The B-29 would throw off balance, and with the tards we have already, you really wanna trust them with 20,000 lbs of bombs?

  Would give interceptors plenty of time to up and catch them.. even if only a few planes could do so.

For the last time, PERK IT EXTREMELY HIGH AND PERK THE ORDANCE IF ITS THAT MUCH OF A PROBLEM, maybe perk it so a single B29 would be 100 perks, then a formation would be 300. Pretty makes it impossible for noobs to get it.

I was thinking more like 200-300 for a single B-29A and 600-900 for a formation.

Even with the perk being absurdly high, it would still be disruptful. A single b-29 could drop an airfield and then some...

But how could that ever be a problem?

Then limit its capabilities, or make it so when it flys into dar a big sign appears over it so every person can come in their spits and 262's to shoot it down.

See Rule # 15    :D

http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,268135.0/topicseen.html
we should leave the moderating to the moderators even if this is a clear breach of rule 15 as it so certainly seems to be.

Because Skuzz put a cap on how much ordy would be allowed per aircraft... b-29 is WAY over that...
Let's put this into perspective.
B-17: (Short range missions, max bomb load ) 8,000 lb (3,600 kg).
B-29: 20,000 lb (9,000 kg) standard loadout.

It would throw game balance out the window, and would be abused. It's max altitude and speed at that alititude would be disrupting, almost invincible at alt. And 20mm tail gun... well... self-explanitory.

  Boy, I tell ya.  I haven't seen so many skirts since my girlfriend dragged me into a hot topic for her birthday.


Look, if it ever does show up its gonna be like the bomber counterpart to the 262.  Yes it'll be hard to kill, yes it'll dish out some serious hurt if you don't keep it in check but it will be far from invincible and expensive as hell!!!!.  There are planes in the game now that can catch it and the only thing that would stop someone from doing that is just pure laziness to climb that high and fly for that long.

So, you're gonna climb to 30k in a TA-152 and just hang out up there, waiting to hopefully catch a b-29 only to get whacked by 1 20mm tater to the prop?

And a price of 200-300 per plane puts it right in that same category as the Me262.
