Might want to add another category AvA and SEA.

^^^^

And Yossarian as much as I'd love an A26 for personal reasons I think the Beau or the 111 is a better choice for the group as a whole.  I just don't see the B29 as being useful at this stage of the games development.  But I don't run the show and I only get one vote.

I won't see the B29 in my chosen arena (coughAVAcough)* unless I'm assigned it in a FSO or a scheduled event.  All of that babbling said whatever gets in is and addition.  

*if we ever saw it in the AVA will the dot be twice the normal size?  :devil

He-111 all the way. Need more German. Always need more German.

oh hush you sauerkraut snarfing b-hole ;)

MA has enough super planes.

What we need is some real hole fillers like the Ki43.

I think it will really suck if it's another American plane, especially the B-29.

We got the Brewster, P-39, B-25 and now the "Betty" all 4 are imo "gap" planes.

I don't really consider the 47-m a "new" plane, as it was merely a variation of an existing airplane.

Enough "gap" planes for a bit please.

The 29 will be an awesome addition to the game, unfortunately they will perk the hell out of it.

I think the 29 deserves a perk as much as the 51d does.

Then the P-51 sticks will run out of perks.

what will make it so awesome?
what will it do differently than all the other buffs we already have? carry 6 more bombs than a lanc and go faster and higher?

i'm guessing it will be almost as hard to intercept as the mossie 16, but it will be able to defend itself.. (which means it should be perked AT LEAST 4x as much as the mossie 16)

which means nobody will bother intercepting it.

which means nobody will ever see one, except as a small dot(s) overhead.

I think they should make people choose what they want........fuel, armament, an bombs.


A b29 could not be filled to the max with fuel, then take off with a maximum bomb load.

Quit confusing people with facts.  Hand wringing over possible outcomes is serious business.  :D

And A-26 after that, yes?

NO B-29. I personally think it's ridiculous for any arena here for all reasons previously stated. My personal Fav ME-410. If not then B-26.  :airplane:

B-29 has a distinctly phallic look.


Just throwing that out there.
