Given the reduced blast effects of conventional bombs in AH, a WWII era A-bomb model could be done so it would have just enough punch to level a strat target, HQ or large airfield if dropped dead center.

Should it be perked? Yes

Should it have kill shooter effects? Yes

Should it only be allowed from a B-29? Yes

Should the B-29 be perked? Yes

If we did get a perked B29 and perked A-bomb, the kill shooter effects alone would deter the bomb being over used in high traffic areas.

I know if I paid 200 perks for a B29 and another 100 or so for the bomb, I certainly wouldn't want a KS death from it, so I would go DEEP into enemy territory to drop that sucker.

Considering the high asset value of the B29, every enemy fighter that knew you were there would be coming after you. This would mean you would want some dedicated escorts to get you to target.

The B29 with A-bomb option could bring a whole new level to organized missions.

what if the blast hits your escorts?

Well, nothing is fool proof, but if the blast hits the escorts, it means they were not escorting very well. Escorts for that type of mission should be close and above the minimum safe altitude to avoid the blast.

we also need the B-24

As historically accurate as we like to see games/sims ... we must never forget the essential element of game balance. Will the Japanese get their own perked B-29s and atom bombs? Will the Germans, for that matter? This has traditionally been where the line has been drawn when discussing online player vs player WWII air combat sim development. While I'm all for challenging conventional wisdom and looking for "new" ideas (this one isn't as much new as persistant), there is still something to be said for the "wisdom" portion when dealing with this particular line.

speaking of explotions HTC should improve the explotions of bombs in AH

Shark88 · « **Reply #21 on:** February 26, 2003, 02:18:04 PM »

There should special trains and/or boats that carry these bombs from the bomb factories

What AH2 really needs are complete (or close to it) battlesets for the major 'competitive' campaigns of the war. Examples:

BoF/BoB
1942 Carrier duels/Guadalcanal
Bigweek/ 8th vs. the LW
North Africa/Sicily
Stalingrad...

etc..

Well, Target Rabaul might siphon some of the guys from AH if not. I, for one, am a Pac plane pilot, mostly, and the MA is getting old on me. I hope Q3 comes along fast. I'm becoming a bigger fan of the scenario scene. an f4f / A6m5 fight is rare to come by, made worse mwhen the late war guy decides to drop in for an easy meal, uninvited!

Shark88 give it a rest! You posting about the B-29 and A bomb every few days is not going to get you one. Try flying CFS2 with the A bomb addon to get your kicks if your so bored!

Try IL-2 Forgotten Battles instead. We need to spread the fact that the Soviets did more in WWII than US, and GB.

The Meteor never saw a 262 or a 163. It did however see some V1's and trucks.
