Well, there's B-29 on the front page...
« on: February 15, 2011, 03:01:13 PM »
Good looking model.

"Here are some development screenshots of the upcoming B-29 Superfortress bomber.  This long awaited addition recently won a players poll as the most wanted new aircraft.  Besides adding another needed perk bomber to Aces High it also marks the introduction of a player flyable B-29 to the online combat flight sim universe.  With a defensive armament of 12 .50 caliber machine guns and 1 20mm cannon and a bomb load of up to 20,000 lbs per plane, a formation of B-29's will be a formidable opponent.

Thanks to Greebo for providing the ultra high resolution skin.  The paint scheme on this aircraft is Earthquake McGoon, a B-29 assigned to the 6th Bomb Group operating out of Tinian."

I hate to say it, but am looking forward to the B29 in the area as much as I would a colonoscopy; both are going to be a pain in the ass.

Appears to have the 20mm in the tail along with the 2 50s.  I hope the bomber guys enjoy it.

Hopefully this will be a solo perked buff.  I would hate to see two drone B-29s tag-along for a total bomb load of 60,000lbs.  :O
