Actually B29 is used quite often - the catch is they're always 30K+ :D

And especially in my case I tend to be floating around 45-48K with my B29's - but thats usually known when I lite up Channel 200 telling my position daring anyone to come get me   :devil

By the last round of voting I decided to vote for whatever was running against the B29. Me410 still lost...


I went in voting for the A26

For those who like to fly the B29 or anybody who just wants to try it out. The AvA setup is going to use B29s this week, so free B29s for anybody who wants them. No need to protect your perks with high alt, and one of the bases with the B29 enabled will have air starts so no long boring climb either.  The message of the day for the arena should detail which airbases have the B29 for use, plus there is no wait for side switching so fly'em, kill'em or both.

The real problem is anyone should feel like they can come to this forum and make a wish without being treated in a derogatory manner.  The only discussion should be centered around whether it would work, or how it would work and so on always in a respectful manner.

The Kanonenvogel had 6 rounds per pod, this is not even close to being open for debate.

"I remember some people whine that the B-29 will ruin the game and people will milk-run the bases consistently. That does not appear to be true now."

I remember that some people said it will be perked so high it will rarely be seen and if it is seen it is seen so high and fast you will not catch it. That appears to be true now.

"I wanted the B29.  I voted for it.  I flew it once.  Its there if I ever want to fly it again.  WIN/WIN"

I rest my case. Clearly something HTC did well to spend lots of time to implement.  :bhead

I don't see what the problem is. HTC spent time on a bomber that can be used if wanted to. Rather than other hangar queens that noone else dare flies.

It's only because the B-25c's have no tail gun is the only reason I don't fly them.

I remember the drama whenever the B-29 was brought up and the Biblical predictions of doom that would follow. Horror stories of nuked bases, no HQ ever being safe, shrieks of "im quitting if", and mostly by those you couldnt get out of LW fighter rides if you bribed them. Who never flew bombers anyway.

So finnaly it came and had almost no impact. Less even then the perked fighter rides. Had it been brought in sooner maybe some of those bomber squads would still be around and the ones still left would have more then 3 members.

Those discussions implicitly assumed that the B-29 would be easily available.  If you could grab a B-29 formation today, without risking perks, those predictions might well have come true.

Possibly, but it was just as silly to assume the B-29 would not be moderately or highly perked.
