I would love to see these 8 bombers next...
1) Heinkel He-111 H-11
2) Mitsubishi G4M2a Model 24 "Betty"
3) Armstrong Whitworth Whitley Mk V
4) Savoia-Marchetti SM.79-I "Sparrowhawk"
5) Vickers Wellington Type 417 B Mk III
6) Dornier Do-17 Z-3
7) Mitsubishi Ki-21-IIb "Gwen" (aka "Sally")
8) Boeing B-17F Flying Fortress
Of course you guys would see the He-111 in there. When I first encountered Aces High (saw it's commercial watching the History Channel I might add), I was truly surprised to see that it was not in there, considering it's importance in World War 2. But enough on the Heinkel rant. :lol
I am, of course, expecting someone to say, "What good will these "target drones" be in the MA?", or something along those lines (except for the B-17F probably lol). Personally, I would use them in MA just for the pure fun. :aok I'm sure the Early and Mid War arena guys would be happy with more bombers to play with, though I'm fairly certain they want fighters more than bombers. :lol Each of these planes would do wonders for Early War FSO's and Snapshots, and it would add that nice touch of variety for bomber selections. Especially when the ENY gets bad. :D
Also, could we limit to just bombers? I am WELL aware of the need for various other Fighters and Ground Vehicle's. Trying to decided on 8 Fighters and/or 8 Ground Vehicle's would take a good while to sift through and decide. If anything, it wouldn't be limited to just 8. :rolleyes: :lol Ell, originally I was gonna say 5 bombers, but I couldn't stop. 8 is a good number though. :aok
EDIT: As this continues along, it can turn into a Bomber Poll Wishlist. The motive behind the madness. :x

I just can't get away from the P-108 an Axis bomber with the punch of a B-17 plus it just looks ugly enough to be cool.

On that P-108 diagram....am I seeing things or does it have gun turrets mounted in the outboard engines?

thats what I'm seeing. Draw straws for that job.

The SB2C Helldiver....

Remodel existing first. Then add new ones. :aok
-
WRT the wing turrets on the P108, they look remote control to me. There appear to be gunner positions on the fuselage above the wing trailing edge. I vaguely recall there was an experimental British bomber that tried that arrangement as well. It did not work because the wing flexed and screwed up the gunnery.

yes they are and they are roido controlled
PS. sorry bout the spelling

lyric1,

I can't disagree with you I just have a thing about this plane.
-
The P-108 had remote turrets on the outboard engines, but they had a lot of trouble with them...
"The wing turrets were vulnerable to battle damage, icing, jamming, and were notoriously unreliable due to the complexity of the sophisticated gun control and computing device (the hydraulic systems had circuits stretching for several meters to the external engine turrets)."
I would love to see how they would model this plane into Aces High... :aok
thndergg
I would have to agree with you on the remodeling of the current line of bombers, but you can't blame me for putting this one up, can you? :lol I do enjoy flying bombers quite a bit (although my score might not reflect that), and I'm sure that it would make many of the FSO and Snapshot events that much more enjoyable. Wait a tic, aren't you the "Bomber Man"? The man to talk to when it comes to the bombers in Aces High? Or is that a misconception on my part? Oh come on... You know you want more bombers to fly. :D
I am seeing some really nice choices showing up. As I look these planes up, I start to drool at the prospect of (hopefully) flying them in Aces High one day. Now if you'll excuse me, I gotta clean my desk...and my keyboard. :x

A question for you guys:
If they were to add just one more bomber before remodeling the current line up, which of the bombers being listed here would be the best to cover a majority, if not all, FSO and Snapshot events better than our current line up?
Many of you have been here since Aces High started, so I am certain that you will have an idea. :aok
This is what I think about the current bomber situation...
Aside from remodeling the current line up, the Axis need to be the one's with the next bomber. As is, there are only 3 bombers (I am only referring to bombers that have bombsites) for the Axis while the Allies have 6 (not including the TBM-3 Avenger). If it were up to me to add just one bomber, the Mitsubishi G4M2a Model 24 "Betty" would be the very next bomber to be added as it would fill in the bomber void that the Japanese currently have for the PTO FSO and Snapshots, and add another bomber with a bombsite to the Axis Line Up.
-

twice :rofl
-
Not that it matters much, but I count four Axis aircraft with bombsights, Ar234, B5N2, Ju88A-4 and Ki-67.
-
Like mbailey said, just in another sequence...
1) Heinkel He-111
2) Mitsubishi G4M2a "Betty"
3) PE-2
4) Savoia-Marchetti SM.79-I
5) Dornier Do-17 Z-3
6) Mitsubishi Ki-21-IIb "Gwen" (aka "Sally")
7) Vickers Wellington
8) JU-52 ( Spanish Civil War bomber, main LW troop transport in WW2)
This would be enough work for two years, maybe three...
Cheers,

My opinion what would be best for FSO,Snapshots and Senarios ( Axis side ) would be
ETO-> 1) Heinkel He-111 / DO-17
PTO-> 2) Mitsubishi G4M2a "Betty" / Mitsubishi Ki-21-IIb "Gwen" (aka "Sally")

How about these two then?
1) Do-17 Z-3
2) G4M2a Model 24 Hei "Betty"
The reason I listed the Do-17 Z-3 over the He-111 H-11 is a rather petty one... Aces High would be the FIRST MMO to have it as a pilot-able aircraft if they decided to go with it. I am confident that the HTC team would be able to pull it off, so unless someone knows a MMO where it is pilot-able, we may very well draw more people due to something as simple as that. We could even manage to snag a few from the other Flight MMO's out there with it's addition. :devil
-
The Do 17 in warbirds is pilotable but I'm not sure what model it is.
-
We have many bombers in FighterAce, so adding some of those will 'encourage' people to move to AH.
http://wikipedia.ketsujin.com/index.php/Fighter_Ace_Planes_Inventory
Includes HE-111 and DO17, as well as the rather fast and well armed Soviet Tu-2S, and the spiffy Black Dornier Do-217J-1 Night Fighter which can pack 4 21cm rocket pods :O
The armed C47 varient the Soviet Lisunov Li-2 is always fun too ... some of our more expert pilots have given Fighter jocks a nasty surprise with it.

:neener:
i'm not frustrated, but just looking at this realistically. They just redid the airfields and the runway length is still the same. You need to drastically increase the length of the long runway in order to have a chance of taking of the B-29. I'm guessing they arent going to be redone in a long while.
-
A-26 Invader (a good reason to use the bomber perks - for which the 234 is the only thing we can spend them on.)
PB4Y-2 Privateer (used as both a low-level interdiction bomber and medium-alt heavy bomber)
B-25J (a mo' bettah B-25)
He-177
Ju-88G (because the A-4s were obsolete by 1942)
Pe-2
Hs-129 (more of a ground attack a/c, really)
G4M Betty (even with their tendency to burn)
And while we're at it - Beaufighter, Me-410, Gloster Meteor, He-219, and how about adding R4Ms to the 262?

Unless I'm mistaken, There are High alt. airfields in the game with cliffs at the end of their runways. That's pretty much all you'd need.

B-29, how original. Remodel those bombers, then give us an A-26 Invader. It's easy, Take the A-20, make a few tweaks, add a belly turret and sit back as we all recall AW days.

The A-26 we could definitely use, but it would probably end up being lightly perked to help keep the A-20 in use.
-
Why? Are you now pacing around your parents basement in utter frustration now because someone brought up the B-29 again.
:neener:
yeah, the roomates in my college apartment are wondering why i just had a random spazz attack :lol
-
Not that it matters much, but I count four Axis aircraft with bombsights, Ar234, B5N2, Ju88A-4 and Ki-67.
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Should be plenty.
-
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Should be plenty.
I strongly disagree with that and I can name many Axis bombers, and fighters, I would be very happy to see.
-
why not get another axis bomber we NEED more axis bombers not just for special events but in main also
-
How about the HE-177, the only true heavy bomber deployed in numbers by the Germans at the time. Its like a lanc but faster, with bigger guns and only half the range of the B-17. Perfect for all you NOE bomber pilots out there.

I'd like to see the Mossi B. Mk XVI.
;)
preposterous we wont ever get that
for 2 weeks

Does the Beaufighter count?
-
i'm not frustrated, but just looking at this realistically. They just redid the airfields and the runway length is still the same. You need to drastically increase the length of the long runway in order to have a chance of taking of the B-29. I'm guessing they arent going to be redone in a long while.
what if they make certain runways longer closer to hq and also perk the b29, that i think would work
-
you can argue against it all you want, but the B29 has as much right to be in this game as the lancaster does.

He 111
Ju 52
G4M
After that I dont give a damn

The runway issue with the B-29 could be got round. The longest AH runway is currently about 7,400 ft long and a fully loaded B-29 needed a 8,000 ft run at sea level. However AH could restrict the fuel for the B-29 in the MA to say 50% and spawn it from diagonal runways only to let it get off. Can't see why anyone in the MA would want more than 50% fuel in that thing anyway.
Alternatively they could add a runway object to the MA that would extend one of the runways of one or more airfields per side to two miles. That would mean reworking all the MA terrains to extend the runways however.
I don't think the runway issue is the main problem with the B-29 anyway. It would unbalance the MA unless you put a huge perk price on it. Personally I would rather they added some sort of slow early war bomber like a He 111 to help balance early war scenarios.
-

Not really. The Lancaster served for much longer in much greater numbers and required much less art work to be added to the game.
I have no problem with the B-29A being added, but spouting uninformed fiction is silly.
-
id like the he-111 its a nice plane. :D a A-26 may be good to add two!but id really like a B29 that would take for ever to model though.we don't need a nuke!
DON'T START A B-29 RIET!!!i ran out of tear gas last time. :lol

:rofl Beating a dead horse. :rofl
I'm seeing many good planes that I'd love to see put into Aces High. My number 1 would still be the He-111 H-11, but I would definitely accept the G4M2a Model 24 if added before the Heinkel.
-
I think I'd like to see them rework the strats before adding another bomber. Make it so that there is a greater impact on a nations resources (ord, fuel, ect.) when they get bombed.
