By the way, I think hot-air balloons would be more appropriate. Think of all the excitement!

Do you know where that cigar has been, sir?

Someone suggested a fine lady was playing with it.

Why not just add the TIE fighter?

"And with punctuation his request shall be COMPLETE!"

"Try spinning. That's a good Trick"

"DO A BARREL ROLL!"

That's all I could think of in 30 seconds DAMN YOU TOSH.0!

IMMA CHARGING MA LANCOSTORS!

What about having a big bomb bomber that are available when the war are about to end?
A last chance to hit back.

Thief.

Thief.

I only wanted to borrow it, here let me give it back.

BTW, very clever Denholm, it should become as staple of B-29 threads, like the furball's gif has.

There won't be the "big bomb".

I don't see why not! Just so long as we follow after this here picture.

A nudge to the shoulder.... I actually found it on the boards and am using it myself.

I love the SEARCH FEATURE (you know, that thing you don't use?).

B-17
-----
13 × .50 in (12.7 mm) M2 Browning machine guns
Maximum speed: 287 mph (249 kn, 462 km/h)
Short range missions (<400 mi): 8,000 lb (3,600 kg)
Range: 2,000 mi
Rate of climb: 900 ft/min (4.6 m/s)

B-29
-----
Maximum speed: 357 mph (310 knots, 574 km/h)
10× .50 in (12.7 mm) caliber Browning M2/ANs in remote controlled turrets
2 x .50 in and 1× 20 mm M2 cannon in tail position
Combat range: 3,250 mi (2,820 nm, 5,230 km)
Bombs: 20,000 lb (9,000 kg) standard loadout, could be modified to
externally carry two 22,000 lb (10,000 kg) T-14 "Earthquake" bombs
Rate of climb: 900 ft/min (4.6 m/s)

Difference
---------
12,000 lbs of ord (not counting the T-14 "Earthquake"). - B-29
70 mph faster - B-29
Guns - B-29 (Same number of guns, but 20mm tailgun packs a punch).
1,250mi Range difference - B-29


Why I don't want to see it.
--------------------------
A plane at ~35k going 357 mph with our planeset is going to be INCREDIBLY difficult to catch.(the lala has a max speed of 423 on the deck...)
Bombload. 20,000 lbs of bombs? That's MORE than enough to level a field, with or without t3h n00k.

Three reasons why it would unbalance the game:

1) 60,000 lb of bombs for one formation.

2) 33,000+ feet altitude capability, combined with speeds of up to 355 mph. 

3) One 20mm cannon and two .50 cal MGs in the tail. That means having to tail chase and close on a very fast bomber formation with double the firepower of a formation of B-24s.

Great for the Buffers, very bad for everyone else... Don't expect to see the B-29.
