Is the b-29 good for the gameplay?

[kvuo75]

see thats the thing. your never gonna fly it. with this new system you will see more and more perk bombers. if more and more people hate it just becuase its not worth the perks either lower the perk cost or cange the system of earning perks.

oh it earns perks just as it should, as is. it's just a bore.

I already have 8200+ bomber perks. I don't need more. 

I might fly the 29 again, just as I flew the mossie 16 several times when it first came out.. then ya realize it really does nothing any other bomber cant do, except avoid contact if used properly. Other than the relatively interesting performance at high alts, snooze.

might have it's place in special events, but in the MA's, it's as fun as the mossie16, IMO.

Perhaps 1 guy could take down a HQ, I'm still not sure about it. Might be the only thing left worth testing.

If I'm correct, I've heard a few say the 29 is flown at very high altitudes in a range most don't want to climb in a fighter. funny thing is just today i simply took up a B-29 with a fuel load of 50% and flew at an alt of at least 6 to 7k, AA fire hit my 29s that's how low i was.

point is i think i did at least over 500 bits worth of damage and got 4 kills with no problems at all with a landed success all done on my very first B-29 run in the Main arena.

[Note 500 damage is not alot but i was rushing on this run so the aim was quick and simple]
Perk price may be high but its well worth it in the end, just to get that bird in the air once is worth the perk cost.

OK here's my idea for reworking the perk system for bombers.  1 perk for every 1000 damage. it would be great for perk planes because the way it is now. if you take a perk bomber up especially a B-29 your putting 300+ perks on the line, not worth it if your only getting .79 perks for 16k damage, bonus perks for hitting strats and the HQ, lets say between .50 and 2 perks bonus added to the 1 perk for every 1000 damage. also take away losing perks for losing a drone or your plane. also 2 or 3 perks for shooting one perk bomber down, and plus 1 perk for every plane you shoot down in a bomber. i believe with this system in play you would see more and more perk bombers up and and more emphasis on intercepting bombers, and still make it worth losing a perk bomber in the process.

I like this idea.
Makes it worth it

The point of perks is to keep everyone from upping the best plane and using it all the time, it makes things horribly unbalanced. This system would just add to the gap between good and bad planes being flown.

Perk system is fine, leave it the way it is.

no keep the price of the plane the same but make it a bit less costly to up a perk bomber. becuase your losing perks as you lose a perk plane. but if they gave a high number of perks for landing them after you fly them and hit targets then it wouldnt be so bad to lose one.

[Chalenge]

OP: Ask yourself if its good for game play to make more... or less... subscribers happy?

Its not just about making weed hoppers happy you see?

Carry on.

You're not supposed to be losing your perk planes.

You're not doing it right.

 

Apparently your main concern is about losing your planes. If the price is too high or the risk is too great for you, don't fly them.

If you're not worried about perks (doubt it) fly at 10k through furballs.

sorry a 6 pack and a fatty will do that to me lol. anyways. i see the B-29 used for HQ raids and strat raids. they just need to give more perkies for strat targets.

wtf,over?

People have been howling for years about getting the B-29 in game, then this... gotta love it.

im not worried myself. i mean ill fly it a hell of alot, but if you lose one well then it costs so much, granted that flying it at 30k increases its survivability, but to lose perks for even crashing or losing a drone on take off kinda is BS, if anything they should give you the perks you paid for one back if you crash it or lose it by accidental means. such as pilot error on take off. now so far i been flying the B-29 in offline practice, getting it to 30K hitting a few targets then landing it safely at home. im doing this so i dont make the mistake of losing one on take off or landing.

Well, B-29 AND P-61.  My promise still stands, if Pyro ever gets the P-61 in game, I have a bottle of good stuff and Pizza for the office OTW! 11 years and still waiting.

We'll get the P-61 when the Seahawks win the Superbowl.
