, and the community at large which has the collective attention span of a ferret on speed will go back to doing what they do every day and sniping at each other.
Very good point.
Remember when the P-47M was introduced. Suddenly there was not only a staggering number of them everywhere, but they were
high. For some time, the combat altitudes on the MA significantly increased (an avid alt monkey myself I was surprised how often I find myself coalt with or even *gasp*
lower than my enemies). Along that came a very high K/D. It seemed like the M was going to be the dominant fighter of the LWMA.
And then? Everything went back to normal. Not because people hadn't had success with that new style, but obviously because they got kinda bored with climbing so high. The altitudes went down again and so did the P-47M's K/D and finally they went back to other planes better suited to the old routine.
First, there may be a huge number of B-29's. But in the long run how many people will keep using them "smart", protecting their perks by climbing to very high altitudes? Who will continue to spend 30 - 45 minutes to get to altitude and over their target? One part will simply get bored, the other will learn that there are much quicker, cheaper and more efficient ways to kill hangars and grab a field
Of course, I do not know how it will end up exactly. So far, we are assuming lot of things, and a lot will depend up not only in the actual performance but also on the size of the associated perk tag.
I for one am very curious and exited to see what kind of changes in gameplay will happen
