I don't see how this would work out. Bombers spend all day flying to a target to be met by waves of MiGs? No thanks. If you get a MiG, I get a B-47

You get a B-29, which is fast if used right and has good armament.

I dont think it would have much chance against a set of 29s... as even a 163 dont have so much.

The B-29s were chewed up in Korea, pretty much rendered obsolete by the MiG 15.  The fire control system on the B-29 wasn't intended to track fast moving planes like jets and had difficulty in tracking the MiG when the bombers were bounced.  The B-29s were beaten up so badly that the bombers were forced to do night bombing missions as a defense against the MiG.

We had the same thing happen to B-17s in WWII before they got escorts. So it's really nothing special.

No one is using WWI arena because we have only 4 airplanes there, non of which are bombers. The only thing you can do there is furball. For the Korean War we already have the B-29, F4U, and P-47; now if we'll get four new airplanes (like WWI) we'll have a good set of aircraft which will allow us to do the same stuff as we do in MA (not just furball).
I don't know this for a fact but I think we'll also be able to use late war Russian and US GVs in the Korean war arena. Perhaps a GV expect could clarify which tanks were used.

So we have the M4 and T-34/85, think we can make a good GV battle this way. Maybe we'll even get Bar's favorite M-18.

what are the chances of the korean arena opening with 20 or 30 airplanes/gvs?  even if it opens with that many it still wont have more than a few players except for the first month or two.  we should just finish the ww2 plane set.  perhaps a trail would be to have a user arena with 262's and 163's.  see how well it is received.

B17s/B24s were chewed up in WW2 aswell when unsupported.

 you are still ignoring the fact that The WWI arena is nothing but furball with 4 planes and has no point to it. If it was just like the WWII arena except with the correct plane set, i expect it to be just as popular as the LW arena is.

Also Hitech didnt really advertise for the WWI arena. The commercials i see are still all based on WWII... I wonder why that is?

I really just want to fly the skyraider. The 47 also saw Korean service.

here is a really good aircraft list...

Skyraider would be a cool aircraft to fly around but so would the NK Po-2 or Yak-18.
