there should be a B29 in AH2 with a atomic bomb and when you bail out you should be able to shoot a hand gun.  If we have the 163b which never really saw any combate why can't we have the b29 with a atomic bomb?

The P-38 should have the 20mm replaced with a BFG.

By the way, does Shark88 even play this game or is he just one of those message board harlots?

I don't think he knows anything about the WWII planes, let alone play the game.

I like the B-29 Atomic bomb concept for the game. It would add another dimension to game play. You could go after cities and other stat targets that most people just ignor.

You could perk the B-29 bomber with an A-bomb to 500 points or something like that. You could have a blast radius that if any of your own guys were within it, kill shooter would destroy your perked bomber. You could limit the number of A-Bombs available per war to just a handful.

If you dropped on an airport/town, everything would be flattened and useless to everyone for a half hour to hour. You could gain a base, but you couldn't up anything from it until it respawned hangers.

Something to think about anyway. You guys are always talking about REALITY with this game. The ATOMIC BOMB was/is a reality. Using it would be just as "crazy" in the game as in real life.

People would probably not use it except in desperation or in retaliation.

About an order of 2 magnitudes more 163s were beeing used during WW2 than atomic bombs.

Shark88 you had better read some history on the Me-163 before making comments like that.   While production numbers were not that great 10 - Me-163As, and 355 - Me-163Bs they did fly combat missions.   The very first was with one of the pre-series aircraft, it was painted red and was flown by Wolfgang Spate on May 13th, 1944.  

The very first group attack was made by the 1/JG 400 fighter squadron, on July 28, 1944, where five comets took place in intercepting a group of American bombers.   All return to base safely.   The Me-163 continued to fly combat missions to nearly the end of the war.   While the B-29 would be a nice addition to the plane set, it would end up being the uber bomber that would upset the game play.  

In addition to having a nuke, I don’t think so.    All you would have is a bunch of people running around upsetting the game dropping nukes every where, especially on other countries HQ, totally ruining this game for everyone else.    I would be willing to bet Wild Bill over at IEN would love to see the B-29 with nukes over here at AH.    It would save his dying flight sim with the influx of pissed off people from AH.    So lets do Wild Bill a favor and add the B-29 with nukes.   Then we can see 70 players at prime time like they do.

Sure, Shark. Bigger bombs to compensate for other shortcomings. :rolleyes:

Rather than improve/Ubercize the existing Bomber Contingent of the game, lets balance what we have now. Lets get some heavy German and Jap bombers as well as Transports for those two countries.

Lets also remember that it was mentioned in another thread that there might not be any new planes with the TOD Release as all the planes are being completly remodled. Thats more than some 43 vehicles being worked on. I think that rather screaming for more, we might be lucky to keep what we have in the first release.

Just my $.02 I oculd be wrong.

Atom bombs are so 20th Century... what we need is a Thermo-Positronic Heat Seeking Ion Bomb.

1,000,000 perks and you can reset all arenas at the same time.
