B-29

[ACE]

Do you guys think this really should have won the vote to be in the game?

I never see it in game so maybe I'm delirious.

[Nathan60]

nope.

[IrishOne]

this is what the children wanted.   this is what we got.

I thought everyone was done whining about the b29.

Guess not.

The B-29 is a flash-bang, fireworks. It can only be used as the B29 and can not be substituted for anything else.

imo, the He111, Pe-2, Tu-2, D520, etc etc etc would  have better choices. But....

Agreed.  They've wanted it for years.  Maybe decades.

I think they never anticipated that WWII America's second-most-expensive-weapon would be expensive in AH.

I like flying the B29 and I don't really mind losing one or all of my formation to interceptors.  The only exception to that is when a con follows me for 10 sectors and deep into my friendly territory with absolutly no intention to rtb; all they want is at least one B29 kill and then they don't care if they make it back or are killed or captured. The perks are worth it to them. It is kind of the opposite of bomb and bailing but still just as lame in my book.

No whine here bud.  Just pointing out what I saw.

I suspect that the only way an American unit would not win a vote is if it were something that would utterly suck in the MA such as a TBD Devastator or F2A3 Buffalo.

In a nutshell: I never voted for it, not once.  Knew it would be perked, knew it would rarely see use in the MA and when it did it rarely would be below 30k and over enemy territories.  That isn't to say I object to its intorduction or HTC's efforts invested into it, rather it be here than not.

The only thing I enjoy about the B29 is getting three of them and dropping 240 bombs on a city. Approx 24,000 Lbs of bombs, which is 12 tons, in a vastly spread salvo of .5, very nice for taking out A LOT. However, it's not really needed, it's more of a bomb wh*re.

[skorpion]

nobody uses the b29 because "itz got an insanez p3rks nomb3r!!!!"


now do all the people that wanted the b29 think its cool because of its price? (costs around 400+ perks for a formation )

Lame?  Maybe he doesn't mind losing his interceptor to your B-29.  Why shouldn't he risk it all for a B-29 kill?  It is the biggest, baddest and most perked bomber in the game.  Killing a rare, high-value target like that is far better than a kill on any other bomber.  It is quite a challenge to defeat such a fast and heavily defended bomber - one that the enemy pilot will do anything in his power to stop you.

Should have won?  That's a weird question.  It got the most votes so I guess, sure, it should have won.
