New Ultra Heavy Bombers - Wishlist
« on: February 06, 2015, 02:35:45 PM »
Hey, hows it goin. Its Allie... :t

Been having quite a few ideas about new vehicles and the such that HTC could put into AH.
And, seeing as only the B-29 is really the ONLY extreme long range, insane bomb load aircraft we have at the moment, I turned my creative thinking to that  :D
So I thought "We, the bombing community, need a NEW long range, extreme payload bomber for our cause"  :headscratch:

2 aircraft came to mind. Both are my favorite of WW2.
The Pe-8 (Petylakov) Russian bomber. (im sure some of you fellow knights out there have seen me ask for this in chat. lol, sry)
And the Me 264 (Messerschmitt) German bomber.

A lot of you knights have told me the Pe-8 sucks, but I'd still fly it... probably just me lol. Its really just because we really have NO long range russian bombers like the germans and the americans have. Hell, even the Japs have some long range bombers in the game  :confused:

My second choice was the Me 264. It was basically Germany's attempt to make something equivalent to the B-29.
Im not sure if you guys at HTC would put in an experimental plane. As far as I know the 262 is probably the only one...
But the Germans DID test the plane and it worked fine. They only made 3 of them tho...

Both of these planes can give us bomber pilots some more variety than just rolling a 29 automatically for extra long ops. Even if it is good, Im the kind of person who likes to have more than one choice...

The me 262 was not an experimental plane, it was fully operational with more than 1400 built.
The me 264 never went past unarmed prototype status
