The B-29 would be a great addition......as long as it were perked. Maybe two different B-29's of the same make? One that would be a low perk that just carried standard ordanace, and one that would be a massive perk that carried a nuke.
How does that sound to anyone?

Sounds like a troll.

j/k...
B-29 would be nice thought I'd like to see He-177 and Wellington first :)
-
He177A-5 or Ju188A-1 would be nice.
I don't think Wellington is too high on the "needed" list.
The B-29A would be a great perk bomber, say about 50 to 100 points. It would add a nice choice on what to spend bomber perks on.
The down side is that it would take a huge amount of work on HTC's part to do it as it is a HUGE aircraft.
If we could get the Ki67, Ju188A-1, Tu-2S and B-29A in the next few versions I'd be real happy with our bomber selection.

theres a lot of talk about the b29 latly (dont know about nukes though) and yes it would be a lot of work by the AH crew but it should be in AH by populer demand becuase i cant think off any other game with a b29 in it of course perked and all that but i think a b29 would add a lot to AH
p.s also a stuka dive bomber yyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aoooooooooooooooooooo !BANG! :eek:

Hmmm...
Yes to the B 29 but after...
TU-2
Z 1007
Grace
He 177
Emily
Coranado
Why add another US bomber right now(we have 3 us bomber's) Lets do some for the other country's first, namely Italy and Russia.
It is as has been said before a HUGE time consumer for HTC.
-
I agree the 29 would be a great addition if perked. I think there should be more incentive for the bomber folks out there.....yep im one of em most the time.
I think the Wellington would be great as well.....But I still would prefer the 29.
I think it would help start pulling the game up into the high air where it should be....
Just my two cents. :p
-
that nuking stuff Must be a troll :( .
I also think that there are many other bombers, already mentioned here, that should be made by HTC before the big silverbird shows up.
Do thoughs guys constantly asking for this long silver thing might have a little mental Problem :p

<says,out of breath> ever heard of a period, it looks like this: '.'. It is used to tell you when a sentence ends, so you have a chance to breath, and it helps stop confusion. :D :p :rolleyes:

I'm not disagreeing with the fact that other countries NEED a couple more (or at least ONE) dedicated bomber. I just think it would be neat to see the B-29. As far as bombers go, though, it's B-26 or bust. I still think the IL-10 would be a blast and a half. Think of it as a much better IL-2. The Tu-2 would be great, so would the Yak-3. If you add one more U.S. fighter, and this is for all you guys complaining about kamikazi pilots blowing up your CV, put in the F2G Super Corsair. It was designed in response to Jappanese suicide tactics.

It ended the war with a nuke on japan.
Its an essential plane.
P.S VIP very important plane

whats f2g super corsair

YUp its a good thing all those troops and airmen died for nothing huh? Took one plane to finish the war :rolleyes: This plane is not essential and it should not be a priority. Other countries need to be represented better, and I am all for putting it at the bottom of the list.
-
The F2G was a Corsair that had a bubble canopy and a new engine. Its original R-2800 radial was replaced by an R-4360 radial engine that produced 3000 HP w/out using the Emergency Power. It was used to hunt kamikazi fighters at low altitudes.

Give the Italian planeset a buff. Sparviero is my pick (under contention as the best med. bomber of the war) but anything'll do. Japanese need the Betty for that matter. Russians could use something more than a Sturmie. German planeset could use something other than the JU-88. Brits got the Lanc and Mossie, that planeset's doing ok. Yanks got the Fortress and the Maurader, it's ok as well.
That puts the Superfortress a lower on the list .... well, my list anyway. Besides, I'd go for the Liberator first anyway. It actually saw action in both the European and Pacific theaters and had an alternate anti shipping version for the navy. The there's the Mitchell which was not only active in both theaters but used by many allied air forces.
I love it when people ask for nuke-droppin B-29s in a WWII combat simulator based on the historical accuracy and importance of the craft. There were more T-6 Texans built than B-29s and tons of pilots were trained in one so that makes it much more important that the B-29. Let's model the Texan.

add the b29 or else

I think the B29 cannot be modeled properly in AH. Here is why. While the B29 was a "super bomber" on paper, it had many many flaws. One of its major flaws was the engines caught fire. This was not worked out until the (B50?). The B29 also had problems with its landing gear. More B29s were lost to mechanical malfunctions than to enemy fire. Also, depending on the version of b29 implemented, the defensive firepower would be absolutely astounding. I've seen pictures of B29s with as many as 4 .50 caliber machine guns in the front top turret alone.
-
That'd bring a whole new dimension to fighter combat. Plow your B-29 through a furball shooting down enemy aircraft. That'd be one really big gunship, lol.
Speaking of gunships, wasn't there one that was designed/being designed to specifically escort B-17's?
-Chris-
-
He he, imagine how far you could develop ackstarring and stratobuffing with that bird :D.
-
The B-29 was usually equipped with 12 50cals (4 in fwd upper turret; 2 in fwd lower, rear upper, rear lower, and tail turrets) and one 20mm cannon in the tail. Excluding the 20mm cannon, it isn't any more heavily armed than the current B-17 we have. Its main advantages over the B-17 are its higher speed and much larger bomb load. As stated earlier, the B-29 was prone to engine fires. On the issue of inability to model it properly in AH, there are aircraft already included that benefit from the lack of RL flaws/problems (N1K engine unreliability & weak landing gear, P-38 turbo fires & prop runaway, etc).
PS, the B-17 gunship was the YB-40.
