Title: Another B-29 post!
Post by: dizman on May 15, 2006, 09:06:31 PM

Nah, not really, just put that title in there to aggrivate people. What this game really needs is a Russian Pe-8. Though big and heavy, it still had a pretty good armament and could carry a friggin sweet 5000lb bomb. We need russian heavy bombers(actually we need any russian bomber we can get) and ths should be the one.          (http://wmilitary.neurok.ru/wwii/pe8-d.gif)  (http://www.tupolev.ru/images/pictures/archive/pe-8_02_s.jpg)

are you high? the only similarities are that they both have 4 engines and a single vertical stabalizer.

It's a beautiful plane, but I would build an axis craft first what with the Allies having three 4-engined heavies already.

Neat idea.  We do need more of a Russian and Axis heavy bomber variety.

I agree, the front and top have too much in common with the B-17. Besides, like Sakai said, we need more variety from the Axis side, like a Heinkel etc...

I believe most WW2 planes looks almost same. Most of them has 1 engine in noise, 2 wings (1 on each side), single v-stab and h-stab at rear :lol

btw, i dont think AH need Pe-8. IL-4 or/and Pe-2 would be much better.

in what way do they look alike? they have different cockpit layouts, wing shape, gunner placement, size, tail assembly and fuelage! the B-17 has more in common with the lancaster!

My goodness, the two planes would be carrying the same payload. Why do you want 2 bombers that can carry the same payload, except this plane would carry a larger "bang" quality (4K bomb). Seriouslly, I don't know why we're having this conversation. The two planes have the same payload, just different armor and armament!
