Guess the B29 damage model was revised. Will have to try it out in offline.

Changes from previous release
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Reverted to previous version of our sound API due to some systems getting lockups, most notably those systems running in Win 98 compatibility mode.

Fixed a bug that could occasionally cause a crash when quitting out of an arena.

Fixed a couple of memory leaks.

Revised B-29 damage modeling.  Beefed up some things and fires should occur less frequently.

Fixed a bug that would cause some planes to get put into a frozen state if they were operating above their normal ceiling in a lightened condition.

Fixed the compass on the Fokker DVII.

Changed the engine listings for the A6M5 in the E6B to +mm Hg.

A6M5 can now use custom gunsights.

B-29 airspeed indicator in the bombadier's position was out of calibration.

B-29 nosewheel was not displaying correctly when turning on the ground.

Fixed an issue with the Dr1 losing parts from the opposite side when colliding with the ground.

Fixed some issues with the B-29 gun interruptors allowing some firing through certain parts of the plane.

Fixed a texture problem with the G4M and A6M5 that could cause the gauges to show up in a low resolution.

Fixed an issue with troops looking weird if using low detail graphics mode.

Fixed a bug that caused drones not to be able to keep up with the lead bomber when using WEP.

what are "memory leaks?"   I know you mean the ram right?  but in what way does it leak?  I'm tech savvy, just ignorant to some facts.

They forgot to delete some data pointed by pointers pointing toward a vector of pointers correctly...

I used to know, but I forgot.

I think it is sad that when people cry enough about a glamorized plane such as the B29, HTC changes it to their favor.  HTC set the "fire" parameters to what they thought was accurate according to whatever standard they used, hopefully on historical data.  The fact is the B29 was known to flame up due to a number of issues.  This latest patch sounds as if they toned it down.  Chalk one up for the whiners.

Funny how the G4M still lights up at the drop of a hat.  No change there.  That bomber is worthless because all it takes is a single ping anywhere between the engines and the fuselage and up in flames it goes.

The difference with the Betty vs the B29 fires is the B29 had self-sealing fuel tanks and the Betty did not. Non-sealing tanks=flame up, note the zero.

Yes the B29 may have had problems that may have caused fires but the only fires that are modeled in AH is fuel tank fires and the self sealing tanks would reduce the number of times they would get a fuel tank fire.

HTC would not make changes to the model to "satisfy  the whiners."  The HTC crew decided the model wasn't correct and it had to be fixed.

You know what else, The G4M and the B-29 are still... different planes! ahhh

Tell me, how do you know it's because of someone whining, and not because HTC noticed something possibly not being right?

And if this little "whining" we seen the last few days is sufficient for HiTech to clack his heels and obey... why didn't he nerf the Spit 16 after literally years of whining und a myriad of threads?

If this artical is anything to go by, the B-29 could still use more "beefing up".
