Excuse this shameless Look-At-Me! but
« on: February 27, 2013, 08:06:38 PM »
... almost to the day two years after the B-29 was introduced to this game I finally killed my 100th B-29, the most elusive yet dangerous game in the skies of Aces High  :banana:



WWhiskey, excuse my extreme dweebery, but immense greed and noble conduct are mutually exclusive  :uhoh



The 'special' thing about it: I might be the first player to reach that magic number. Maybe I should retire now  :old:





And don't worry, I won't open a new "kill club", the probably next 'notable event' should be my 100,000th total MA kill, which is still about 18,000 kills away. We will have to celebrate Dr7's 300,000th kill long before thatl ;)

It's worse than you think.  :o

First I attacked that 29 raid in my Ta-152 at 30k, but an oil leak sent me home without any kills. Greedy for that 'historic' kill as I was, I upped a Me 262 20 minutes later to catch them at lower altitude near their suspected landing airfield...  :devil


There's a reason why I always take some extra fuel in 29s myself and avoid landing at front bases. They tried to do the same to me a few times before  :D

Not an easy quest, WTG.  Only killed 45 so far, myself.  I was however, the first to get 100 kills in the B-29.  <look at me too>   :banana:  :bolt:

Not in one tour.  It was 103 kills over several tours in 2011*.  Haven't flown it since.  :lol  Check your end of 2011 stats to confirm.

How many deaths did you have vs the B-29, btw?


*edit:

Tour 137 - 20
Tour 138 - 2
Tour 141 - 15
Tour 142 - 47  :)
Tour 143 - 19

I've seen less than 10 B29s since they were introduced.

I know, I just was curious when you did reach 100. But found it myself, tour 143. You even managed to get 47 kills in it in tour 142!  :rock

By far my worst K/D against any bomber in AH. Hunting 29's is so much fun because they are so incredibly powerful  :airplane:

Impressive success rate.  :aok   By the looks of that, the TigerII needs a bigger perk.  :D

I was happily pinging a set of 29's doing a NOE town run with my pintle gun   :D


Regarding my success rate, I find one thing quite odd. As you can see I did much better against in the 163 as in the 152H.
On the other hand, when I'm in the B-29 myself, I'm much, much more 'afraid' of the Ta 152H - I'm doing much worse against it then against Me 163, which is almost a piece of cake to shoot down in the Superfortress. But a Ta appearing really makes me nervous...

 :headscratch:

Probably because most people fly the 163 right up the low six, miss with almost every round and then run out of gas, right before you drill them.  :ahand

I wish I knew how to alter video's in your accomplishment for 100 b-29's killed but this was the Closest I could come to and not meant as a mockery but as a tribute for all the intel you provide player's with stat's and Graph's and all

I would renames the Song mr Bomber killer instead of baggage handler
