B-29 question for HiTech or anyone from HTC that can answer...

[Ack-Ack]

Which version of the B-29 is in the voting, is it the A or B model?  I know it's probably too late at this point but knowing which model is proposed could be a major influence on those wishing for the B-29 and even sway some that were on the fence to vote for the B-29.

Will people be more likely to vote for the B-29A, or would more be likely to vote for the B-29B because it was lighter, faster and carried more bombs but lacked the armor and defensive fire power of the A?

Good point, Ack-Ack!  I was wondering the same thing on which version they where going to give us.

[Beefcake]

I really REALLY hope that if the B29 wins we don't end up with a 3rd perked bomber that flys fast and has little or no defensive weaponry. Otherwise a B29 with only a tail gun will just be an overpriced Lancaster.

It would be so much faster and easier from a coding perspective to code the B though.  I believe that would mean they wouldn't have to create the remote controlled turrets IIRC.

[Tupac]

They could just do both?

It would just be adding another variant if they decided to do the B model aswell

Please....not the B29

We already have 4 heavy American bombers and desperately need to flesh out some axis abilities.

I voted for the HE111, but if that is out now then I cast for the 410.

Please don't mistake this for a "Pro B-29" thread because it isn't.  It would be helpful though to know which variant of the B-29 we are voting for as this could potentially influence someone's vote either for or against the B-29.

We already have 6 Axis heavy attack aircraft and we desperately need to flesh out some fun in the main arena.

you make a good point there Ack-Ack but its to late i voted for the 410, way to many allied bombers need some more axis bombers, but it is a good question and im sure itll influence the people. for now its either the me410 or b29 no question amout the model.

Gotcha.

Give them the Nuke.

Give them the Nuke. 

Nuke...Duke Nukem and he's all out of bubble gum.

To be honest I really wish HTC would've put the Condor in place of the B29. It would've given us bomber guys a tough bomber and filled a hole in the axis plane set.

funk that, it'll just be another hangar queen that nobody wants to use...except for in scenarios.

also hoping for the b-29 variant which can defend itself, As is i would much rather use the candlestick b-24 or the less ord carrying b-17 rather than the lancaster. Doesn't matter if a plane can carry 50,000lbs of ord if it won't ever make it to the target.

Also another thing whats with lancaster tail gunners dieing soo easily, it sux so much being at 25k in perfectly good lancs with dead tail gunners. getting bb'd to death because all other positions are useless. Can't count how many times I've  had all tail gunners destroyed on a single pass, great nothing left to do but sit here an "take it" while the 109f takes its sweet time killing all my undefendable bombers. Hek wouldn't some other crew member be able to shimmy there way to that gun position to man the .50cal
