Want a B29 in Aces High?
« Reply #15 on: September 06, 2002, 01:22:13 AM »
An B-29 would be great, but a HE-111 would be better, and I feel we need the HE-111 more than we need B-29 :)

So how about a release with: HE-111, JU-87 (Stuka),T-34 (russian tank), sherman tank and a battleship(perked and player controllable like a PT boat.(should have a high perk kost thoug...)
We also should have the JU-52, slower than the C-47 but with the possibility to defend her self.



I guess that was my wantohavesoon list ;)

You smell that? Do you smell that?
Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that.
I love the smell of napalm in the morning.
The smell, you know that gasoline smell, smelled like victory.

BTW, the reason so many ground vehicles is I like WWII online,but the flight model stunk. The ground vehicles would bring us closer to a full battlefield and more historical events could be created. Right up to the counter offensive in the ardennes with the king tiger. 88's could be created (non mobile) They could be spawned defensively around vehicle hangers(multiple spawn points around hanger).Alot of mudmovers out there who find the flight model difficult, this might get more bussiness? Just a thought.

Doesn't matter how many ground vehicles they introduce, all we will see are Flakpansies anyway.

lol, right, that's why I say make it a 10 perk:)

And I know this is a flight sim, but it would be cool to see more tanks and a ground vehicle event.

We're getting the Tiger tank in the next revision of AH (1.11).  I think HiTech has some good things in mind without falling into the pitfalls the Rat's did.

I believe that in the wargamer interview with HT, he mentioned something along the lines of perking the ostwind.

The ostie and panzer were to be perked if the next tank was the sherman.  The next tank (HT interview) will be the tiger.  Therefore, the ostie won't be perked. :)

FYI Fargo North Dakota is playing host to both a B29 & a B24 on loan to our Air Museum.

I believe both flew over from Duluth Mn Sunday, next sunday they fly to Bismarck.

Both these bombers are needed in the game IMO.
Along with the b25.

The B29 is "Fifi" and the B24 is "Diamond Lil".

b-29 would be great but it would have to come without a nuke (if the lanc cant have the bouncing bombs and the grand slam why should the b-29 be able to carry the most deadly bomb of all)

Hi Vorticon,

I don't know how to break it to you, but the B-29s were not actually built with an atomic bomb as part of the construction.

Well gosh, if you took my comment personally/seriously, then I suggest you have answered your own question.

Also, please note the use of Ferdy the Inoffensive Smile:  :p
