Runway length?

[fullmetalbullet]

Now im sure everyone knows this already, but will HTC be increasing the field sizes and runway lengths for the B-29 in the next update? i hope they do. i been planning to take more B-29 runs up. i normaly up them from bases with 0.0k alt and no trees around for miles and let her roll right off.

that means fixing the terrains around every base at every map etc... lot of work to do...

would still be nice. i do like the whines off people crashing their expecive B-29s into a tree and AKAKs sheep but when your the one that does its not as funny. lol even though i had it happen once. but curious if HTC or their map editors are working on more B-29 accesable maps and fields.

Maybe we need an Extra-Large base now! 

Kind of joking.  I mean, you take the risk when you up a B-29, it takes planning to successfully take up a flight.  However, having certain fields designed to handle these heavy bombers isn't unthinkable.  Just a few bases at the rear of a country.

Is there a way to tell which rnwy's are the longest now? Anyone have that info printed anywhere?

I got no problem taking a B-29 off a small runway with full ord and 100% fuel. Given that all you need is 25% fuel I can not understand why you can't take off.

The "corner" runways were always the longest.
NW, NE, SE, SW.

I think it would be interesting, but generally speaking runways later in the war were LONG... Bombers, jets, those top-end speed demons all had longer runs (in general) than the earlier props that took off from grass fields.

I've almost run out of gas with 75% before and taken off with 100%.

I don't know how long late war runways were, and I wouldn't know where to start.  Anyone know where to find that information?

i believe the runways on tinian were 8000ft. we we could do with at least 8500ft runways.

Airbase objects occupy 1 square mile on the terrain.

Use a notch or two of flaps?
Any 5k airbases on the edge of a cliff?

75% gives you 125 min of fuel at max mower in MA. 
How long are your flights?

Depends where I'm going, but I've done plenty of flights over 125 minutes.

i normaly take 100% fuel with the B-29. last night i was being chased by a fighter from 111 all the way to 208 in sector 5.10 lol and if he has just kept following me i would have ran out of fuel i had like 18 mins of fuel before he bailed and left. anyways back on subject. i know its not a priorty for HTC but i really think they should increase the longer runways to 8500ft.

Just wondering here, as a band-aid type of fix for the map makers is it possible to connect 2 small airfields corner to corner to create a runway that is double the length of the typical runways now? Yes it would be two bases right next to each other but you could still just do a few like this towards the back of a country, similar to the placement of the Me163 bases.
