Title: 29
Post by: TBolt A-10 on September 05, 2004, 05:01:49 AM
Well, now that it's finally out there that the B-29 (http://www.onpoi.net/ah/pics/users/77_1094378313_b29-assy.jpg) is in post-production, I thought we could talk about how the MA is going to change with such a HUGE bomber lurking about.

I would imagine that this 70,000 pound monster will carry quite a heavy punch.  We may be able to close 4 or 5 bases at a time with maximum loadouts.  Or, of course, a full quarter of the smaller maps would be blown to H3LL with just one Fat Man.

Are we - collectively - ready for the Big Time, yet?

Was this in a tabloid? I never read the tabloids.

Tbolt, where/how did you find out we're getting the B29?

I think you'll be in for a shock if you think we'll be getting one.

Do we even have a runway long enough for the B29?

The hook was old and rusty and broke off a long , long time ago. It`s just a good excuse to throw in some wish list.

And the crowd chants Vader-Vader-Vader. :D

The Boeing B-9? Monocoque monoplane with open cockpits? Single open swivel 30 cal?  Maximum speed 163 mph?  Not sure how survivable it would be....



Note to t-bolt: white letters on white backgound dont work too well.......:lol

It's a grey background, not white.  I think your monitor's brightness settings are set a little high there, Simaril.  :)

Anyway, just your eyes a little.  ;)

Vader - Vader - Vader

if not the

B-29 - B-29 - B-29

Oh, I see. Mine alternates grey box message with white box message background -- and by chance on my screen your messages both ended up in the white background.


But seriously, what about the B-9???
:lol
