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."

From what I hear, it will be perked around the same amount as the 262...

Or the perk"ing", the way they perk it, will be decided the same way they decided the perk"ing" for the 262...


Well unless you've been sitting in Dales office having coffee with him ad Pyro, all you've heard about "perking" is just hear-say  :D

Yes it looks pretty, and as usual HTC and staff have done a great job, but I hope it's perked out the wazoo!

So who is going to tell me how to kill a base in a single pass.  Seriously, I'd LOVE to know.  No matter how many times I try to do it in a Lancaster, I always seem to miss a few hangers and actually have to go back around and hit the base again.... :noid


1st thing I'm gonna hit is a Capital, and I know I won't be alone when I do it. :devil


As for the milk running in EW and MW, I'd expect they will hit towns on two fronts till they run out then switch sides and hit their own side kind of thing. :lol  The Capital's will probably look something like 2% Center, 1% Fuel, 3% Troops, 5% Ack, 3% Ords, 6% Dar... :rofl

only if the perks catch on fire as well, but hopefully your blowing them all on that pretty new plane so you wouldn't have that many left. My hemorrhoids burn more than that!  :aok

I wouldn't think you'd see them in EW or MW as the B29 is late war bird.
