B-36 never saw combat.
This is true because during the Korean war when it could have been used it was our main nuclar deturent. I am not sugesting to give it nucular cabablity for the game just simply give it the ablity to cary 82,000lbs of convenchal bombs. Would it be able to kill multipal bases in one fail swoop maybe but not likly given its truning radous and the lay out of bases. Up aginst peroud fighters even with its full gun armament it woud be tough to defend unless the pilot started from very far away and atacked from very high.
The B-36 was intened to be used in WWII it started its desine back in 1941 when we though Grate Briten was going to sercom to the germans. Its development was sped up and slowed down depending on what the need was threw out the war. It's proto type was finished befor the end of the war but company strikes delayed its maden flight untill 1946. What made the B-36 early modles truly awsum was the gunpackage they had. It had a twin 20mm gun turit sitting over the nose, two turets behind the cockpit each with a pare of 20mm guns. Just infront of the rear persanell compartment it had 4 such turets 2 on top 2 on the bottom pluss the 2 guns sticking out of the tail. All the formenchioned items made the B-36 the most heavly armed bomber in history. It also gos down as the bigest.
Also of note during the korean war the B-29 was the primary bomber used during the main of that war even though other bombers were availabe. They were credited with shooting down a few mig 15s.
The main reason I want this arean is because I realy wan't to fly the B-36 and beable to drop bombs with it. I would also love to do some dog fighting with the F-86 and the Mig15 and later if others jump on theband wagon add other fighters from the 1950's like my screen name sake the F-89. The F-89 was not fast but it could cary a larg load of wepons. My 2 faveret verants were the C modle and the H model. The C because it had 6 20mm guns and could cary 16 rockets and a pair of 1000lb bombs all at the same time. The H model because it had 6 guided missels pluss rockets.
