For some reason, I feel we have gotten off topic. Is there any REAL reason besides "we need others first" for not adding the B-29?

Again, it may be so, but only if I'm unable to use advantages I have. I'm not going to turnfight you, thats for certian, and if you can't get within firing range, thats your problem.

Even if you use the 'advantages' you have, the fight will be very short.  The only way the fight would last more than 30 seconds is if you would run away and not engage.

In virtually all the B-29 wish list threads, players have repeatedly stated reasons why other planes should receive priority ahead of the B-29.  That you choose to ignore them because they don't mesh with what you want is an entirely different matter and speaks volumes about your thought process than anything else.

I said "besides 'we need others first'" indicating I was acknowledging that was a valid reason.

Engaging doesn't mean turn fighting. It includes BnZ'ing and anything else relating to combat.

You said stay on topic... ;)


And Ack-Ack's right on all counts here (about the B-29 and him being able to beat you [and almost certainly me as well] in any plane with functional guns)...but I still want the A-26 first  :P
Afk for a year or so.  The name of a gun turret in game.  Falanx, huh? :banana:

I was origionaly going to fight Ack Ack with my P-51. But that outclimbs me, I'll have to look for a new plane. Maybe the spixteen, or maybe the hellkitty.


And Yossarian, I'll fight both you and ack-ack when I get back on. I just have to get method of mayment working.

I'm quite certain that I could beat you in a Bf 109E-4 with you flying a P51D.
Also the P51 climbs better than the F6F, both in sustained in zoom climb I believe.

Yes, but I was concidering abandoning the BnZ tactic for this fight.

It doesn't matter how you fight or with what style or plane, the simple fact of the matter is that you need experience and practical know how to do anything.

Again, the only way you'd last more than 30 seconds is if you'd run and not engage.  It's not an idle boast, I'm merely stating a fact.
