the 29 should only be available at Red command bases only & the 163 should be de-perked & available at more bases to deal with the increased threat. :banana: :neener:

De-perk the 163 to kill 29's and put it at more bases. :banana: :neener:


Now that would kill the game as we know it  :lol

The last thing I want to see is guys doing the Lanka Stuka thing in B-29's...maybe your right the perk thing will prevent that...I hope so


Drop altitude restrictions won't fix this.

Disabling the ability to drop from the cockpit in 4-engine bombers and forcing them to bomb from the bombardier's position WILL.

the 29 should only be available at Red command bases only & the 163 should be de-perked & available at more bases to deal with the increased threat. :banana: :neener:


I don't even stick around in areas where 262s are operating, and already don't fly near the 163 base. Nothing ruins a good furball faster than the damn jets and rockets.
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

Done? Not completely (as you can see ;) ). I'm still lurking around, ready to resub immediatley when a solution for the caps problem has been found.  :x
Meanwhile I'm preparing my AH stats evaluation for 2010 (had to program a few new tools for that) and I'm contemplating to write a new plane comparison tool.. maybe a new player stats application...  if my ADD lets me  :lol

Something  having nothing to do with the topic of this thread... I don't want to turn this into another "caps sucks!" -"No it doesn't!" -"Yes, it does!" thread  ;)

We should stay focused on the B-29 and how it will destroy the game!  :noid

I agree completely.  Apply it to any multi crewed bomber that had a bombsight in a seperate position.

Seems like a do-able fix to me.  Send it to the wish list!

Problem is aircraft like the B-25C gunship, B-26 and JU-88. Heck, even the TBM has a bombsight in a separate position.

compromise is the spice of life!  or something like that.

Agreed I guess.  The TBM actually did some shallow dive bombing.  I guess apply to the heavies only.
Still a damned good idea.

Thankfully Hitech has hinted that AH will never have an artificial system limiting bomb drop angles.

I thought I might as well post some of the biggest B29 threads.
bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,158975,1785.html

Skuzzy combined most of the big B29 threads into one. You can see where I start off my B29 thread at page 120.

This is to all you guys saying there will never be a B29 in the game.

Wow.

Not that I'm surprised (not surprised in the least), but as has been said previously, there had better be some serious handicapping so that it doesn't totally break the game. I'm sure HTC will do it just fine, but I'm just throwing in my two cents.
