I think I will respond later... and maybe better in a separate thread, I think this is far to interesting to be buried in a "WHOA AWESEOME VIDEO" thread  :devil


But one thing thing I wanted to comment on.
I don't think this firepower advantage would hold in a swarm scenario like TT bombing missions.. But then again if you've got the benefit of an attacking swarm, you can probably get a few kills before being outrun.

In fact I think such huge TT missions are the better place for a 410 to try for an interception.

I don't know when you played last time, but since we got the new towns, a lot has changed in regard to single, high bomber sorties. It's no longer the factories they are going for but simply town centers. Yes, we had that before, but not that much as it happens now. That means the bomber's flight path is much less predictable, and the bomber pilot can simply switch to a different set of targets if he sees an enemy darbar in the general direction (Mossie pilot's depend on that, and they are usually very successful at it). Now a (assumed) 350 mph bomber at 30k can surely frustrate any would-be interceptor that way.

Was gonna suggest separate thread. Maybe the latest 410 thread in AC/GV forum?  Your call.  I'll reply there.

Maybe a new "B-29 and the interception problem" thread? Dunno... way too tired now. Stayed awake the whole night working out some stuff for a possible "AH Stats 2010 part II" thread  :banana:

Me163=no intercept problem. but only near HQ.
maybe HTC should enable it near strats too.

I think I might actually need the Mosquito NF.30 just for its high blown engines.  420-430mph at 27,000ft seems more what is called for than whatever slow speed the FB.Mk VI will do up there...

A b29 will swat that 163 like a rag doll if I tried to get near it...

I already stated why it was removed and it was not due to the reliability of the 20mm cannon.

Yeah? So?


It's a quote from Return of the Jedi. Doesn't mean we get lightsabers or anything. It's a quote and a reference to AW days.

Uuum Krusty? If that was to Outbreak, I think maybe you missed the point a wee touch.

Armed and Operational?

Does that mean she's ready to be deployed? Might not be too long till we have havoc being caused in the MA  :uhoh
