Kinda funny how after all of those years with only the Ar234 as a perk bomber, two new perk bombers will have been added in relatively short succession.


See? That proves how far downhill the game has gone!

I can see the bombers being flown* a lot more so people* get the perk points to fly the B-29.  Looks great.  

Fixed :D :P

Love the plane.

Love the "ruin the game" hysteria just as much.

Spawn camp will be full of WW just to try to shot it down. 

Bet a T-34 would work better.

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.

Agreed.
This game needed this plane like Custer needed more Indians at the the Little Big Horn.

I am however interested in seeing how they are planning on implementing the remote gunnery and improving the gunnery over the remote gunnery we already have.

So, you're saying it won't make much difference?  After all, more Sioux at Little Big Horn wouldn't have made much difference to Custer.  :p

See? That proves how far downhill the game has gone! ;)
Golly but it is a beautiful thing to behold.  Did you see how they modeled the bombardiers front gunsite on the pivot arm.  Just frigging gorgeous :)

For me just being inside a virtual B29 will be worth the twelve years wait  :rock

You mentioned spawn camping before.  At alt, I would recommend taking an hour or two to get a Stuka to 20k and then dropping the MOAB on the lead buff.   :)
