The better fort.
« on: June 24, 2000, 02:07:00 AM »
I like the way the bombers are now and all (even more so now that the Lanc and Ju-88 are coming)   But how about a change. I'd like to see one of 2 planes coming soon. The B-25 Mitchel, and the B-29 Superfortress. The B-25 could have the same load as the one in WB. As for the Superfort, here's my idea. This plane was built in 1944(?) and was used some in the war (and we all know the Enola Gay) It could have the historical load, and a added feature, an atomic bomb. Each country gets one every 2 hours or so. This bomb would decrease the climb speed (due to the weight) and need a special base to fly from. The weapon would be able to destroy everything within 30 miles  (or 3 sectors if needbe) of ground zeron and damage others within 50 miles (or 5 sectors) of ground zero. The pilot would get credit for everything destroyed or killed. I know this would start fights over who would take the bomb (not to mention the FR drop from the bright flash and mushroom cloud)   Even if that's not possible, I still want to see the Superfort in AH.

Problem with the Superfort is that it flies so damn high... I mean, sounds good and all, and personally I love the plane, but it'd be just so danger free!

I'd much rather see the Arado (sp) low level jet bomber... now THERE's a unique craft that fills another hole in the bomber set (We now have high-alt heavy, medium and light bombers, but no low-level fast bombers).. only problem with it would be that you'd always find yourself tailsitting against it.

The B-29 is going to be one of those "Perk Planes" that you may only have when you score well.

Remember Pyro's news post about v1.04 having super planes, but on a restricted basis?

So you would be able to take out the City and HQ with one bomb?

I don't think I like that.
