i want the B-29 superfortress that is the biggest bomber ever in WW2
-
This has been asked for many times before. And every time, the discussion ends up talking about putting nukes in the game as well. So, i don't think it will be put in the game any time soon. :aok

Why'd you have to bring up the nukes? Now you've ruined this thread.
I'd like to see the 29 added too... BUT, it really wouldn't fit the current AH environment. Maybe in 2 weeks when CT is done and we see how gameplay eveolves there, the 29 may be revisited and gel well with CT gamepley styles.
-
well the only thing you would use the 29 for is high level bombing above 30,000ft. and hardly any fighter can reach them and the atomic bomb wouldn't be allowed in by HTC it has teh strenght of over 20,000lbs. of tnt

I'd like to see the b-29 too. And I didn't ruin this thread. If I haven't brought up that nukes were mentioned every time, someone else would have. ;)

B29, fast and a huge load!
Would deserve a heavy perk in the MA, plus didn't it have lead computing turrets?
-
30k LOL, you know it would be the ultimate CV dive bomber. Honestly i think it would be cool but understand the problems it would cause.

Glad to see not everyone who joined in August of 2007 is stupid (sorry). I'm not saying they're stupid as in can't do math, read, write, and are dumb. More like askin for P-80's, nukes, V-2's, all jet game, and just don't know what they're talking about.
The B-29 would be an excellent addition. Have a good payload, great alt, and best of all perked. Be a great bomber to use up those thousands of perks we've piled up.
-
HTC will not have this type of airplane because of two reasons:
1. too big of a payload, they will not have anything past 4000 pouns so why have it.
2. the people who use dial-up will be murder with the B-29. I am not a dail-up, but I know that the B-25 is killing everyone now.

kinda dumb how the B25s 75mm essentially tracks the shell forever.

Doesn't the LANC have 14 1,000lbers? and HT said no "bomb" over 4,000lbs will be added not payload.
How will it "murder" people with dial-up? I have dial-up (or i will when we make another account. They lost our old one).

LOL i'd rather have the F/A 22 Raptor, f15 Eagle, or f35 Lightning II XD
those would completly ruin the game but good planes nonetheless
i wouldn't mind seeing the b29 if it's load was tampered with and stuff like that, if it were altered to fit the game correctly
and i know what you mean panzer...i've been fightin it... XD

why would we carry an airplane that could carry the nuke? I never liked the lanc so I don't fly it.
What would be the point of the having the airplane?
-
We would have a plane that could carry a nuke but we wont HAVE the nuke. B-29 didn't just have the Atomic bomb as payload, it did strategic bombing with regular dumb bombs, and incindiary bombs over Japan. If we add the B-29 to AH it WON'T have the nuke but dumb bombs, and HT could tweak the payload so we can't carry 40 1,000lb bombs with us. The B-29 would also be greatly perked (I hope) so we have something else other than the 234 to use our bomber perks on. If you don't like big payload bombers don't fly them, but the rest of us may want it.

the B-29 never carried 40, 1000lbs, and HTC is going to go on the real life events that the B-29 had. I would love the B-29, but it is not meant for this game.

I would EXTREMELY love to have the B-29 in this game almost more than any other plane in WW2s entire history. Mostly because my grandfather was a pilot of the Superfortress and was a trainer for many WW2 pilots both before and after the war. He was in the 330th Bomb Group http://home.att.net/~sallyann4/330-1.html and was based in Tinnian during the war. He ran about 20 sortes/missions total..... early in the war the planes were armed with 40 500lbs bombs and later All incendiary munitions. He is 92 years old and I would love to someday show him in this game the plane he flew for this country for so many tours.
I fully understand it's very hard to model this enormus plane and takes alot of time and energy. I'm not one of the people that takes for granted all the new aspects of this great game. I always have had a major ammount of respect for how the planes are so accurately modeled.
But It's clear that there are some major reasons that the crew at HTC for now does not want this plane in the game. Weather its that the runways are not realistically long enough for the B29s slow takeoffs and long landings, or some hangers and other buildings allong the runways are in the way of the wing tips? I'm not sure.. maybe it's more allong the lines that it's just a massive project to tackle? Mr hitech would you mind tellin' me/us something about your opinion on it please?
Lastly.... My opinion on the nuke is simply that it would not be realistic to have it, one bomb would totally destroy one full base and town. Unless!! it was somehow a 300-600+ PERKpoint bomb, that would be one way of chewing up some bomber perks allong with the cost of the B29 itself. :p

I agree the 29 should be added to AH just not with the nuke on it maybe the nuke can be added for a good hefty amount of perks

We will never ever ever in a million billion years ever get the nuke added to Aces High. Unless you can make a video card that will never go below 60 FR ever and make it free, and a servr that wont crash every time one nuke goes off, the nuke will not be added.

I just cant see the B29 in AcesHigh.Like i said before more german,Japan,Italian bombers and more british bombers.

Yeah...I can't see it either...you will have missions flattening 5 bases at 20K

I dunno, I think that the B-29 would be great to add. I just believe it will prolly if ever added have just a conventional payload (since it was modified to even carry and drop the atomics) and turrets that act as normal turrets that you can have someone man or you can jump into.
Lastly I see not why this plane causes such an uproar. If people fly up at 30K I say great let them, that just means I will have to try harder to kill them. Furthurmore with the perkies that this plane should have attached to it (should be Heavily perked like the 262) I do not see very many people using them as stukas. Besides most twits who use it would probably be at 15K where they would not be that invincible any way.

Why are we always wanting to expand the American bomber plane set? Can't we at least get the German, Italian, and British bomber plane set up before we go off trying to make the Americans "uber" again?

the B29 did not fly that many sorties compared to the B17 B24 B25...Add AXIS BOMBERS.

We have what...the 88...the Ki-67 is not a heavy bomber...
The Stuka is a dive bomber...
So say:
Ju88 vs. B17, B24, B25, B26, Lancaster, Boston.

It tasted weird, yet nevertheless my stomach is knotted for some reason.
SpikesX, that is precisely why we need to increase the German Bomber Plane Set. The only level bomber (which is also a dive bomber) Germany has on this game is the JU88.

considering the bomber nutss have more or less NOTHING to spend their perk points on.. there needs to be SOME sort of bomber (worthy of perkishness) added..
dont get me wrong, i like blasting around in the 234 every now and again.. but it is a VERY limited platform...
a 29 would be sweet, give it a perk value comparable with the 262..
I for one know I would double my fighter time just to get enough perks to get a 262 and go hunt for 29s..
fun for everyone.
no nukes,
or if nukes.. 2 per tour.. given in the last week to the top 2 ranked bomber pilots.. and thats it.

My proposed Idea for B-29
I. No nuclear weapons will be equipped to the B-29 in AHII
II. Perked value
III. One plane only, you want formations team up with friends.
Just my 2 pennies

go even more.Make the B29 take off at a Far back base say one of the noncapturable bases make them climb out and the bombsght can not be used untill you reach atleast 15K the B29 could kill a base and a good part of town with that bomb loadout.
just my $.02

put a high enough perk value on it and i doubt that would be a problem, doubt many folks would want to launch their golden goose from a foreward base or come in on a low alt run due to the risk involved
and those that would, wouldn't be flying it for long anyway.

well perks,hell people always complane about having alot of bomber perks.I have been playing only a year and a half and have 8000 bomber perks.Need somthing more then perks to take the B29 low alt.It's got a 20mm tail gun so killing fighters will be easy.

It is because you play every second of the game.

Ki67 has a 20mm gun and it's not an uber fighter killer unless I'm flying it.
Although since the 29 has it in the tail it could make a difference.

"d the atomic bomb wouldn't be allowed in by HTC it has teh strenght of over 20,000lbs. of tnt"
...yes, you need a special Federal licence to explode a cartoon bomb of that power. ;)
-
The B-29 would be awsome as a perk bomber. I think the limitations already mentioned would prevent turning it into a 3,000' suicidal Lanc. By not allowing drones, limiting it to taking off to a few bases, and putting perks on it will probably make it a bomber that squads take up together. Which probably means we will arrange escorts.
To see heavies flying in formation, with escorts, dudes that is the real Aces High.
-
I know if I had to drop 200+ points on one I would fly it like its made of glass..
and damn sure wouldent be seen below 15k without escorts.

Yeah, the pucker factor was bad enough tonight when I was at 2,000' on final, at 200 mph, in 3 AR-234s when a bogey popped up on radar in my way.:O Whomever it was didnt know a smorgasboard of perks was being hand delivered on a silver platter had he only stayed put.
Imagine the clenched rear ends with flaps down, in 200 point B-29s, running into a gaggle of murderous 14yo's enroute to the latest furball?:huh

Right, but five minutes before the map reset we could nuke each other. Come on you know it's fun to glow in the dark.

:noid No Nuclear warfare needed.

Man how fun would it be to load the B-29 up with 200 x 100lb bombs ?!?!? Full salvo, delay .05 and let them drop the length of the runway from about 30k alt. That's what you call vluchin baby.
