lol naa, I think there are very few who actually think the B-29 would get a nuke.

You will however see

"The B29 isn't perked enough"
"The B29 is too uber"
"The B29 is destroying the game"
"Caps Suck"
"The B29 can't be touched"
"Impossible to attack the B29"

Or the complete opposite, depending how it works out. Luckily we won't know unless enough dolts vote for it  :D

Yea, there will be more wish and whine about the B-29 then about the P-51, Spit XIV and Spit XVI put together.

Though there is a lot of opposition on the BBS, I believe there is a silent majority in game who will select the B-29 in huge numbers.  Given the option, I doubt many players are going to think about filling gaps, or the role in scenarios, they'll just think how cool it will be to fly a B-29 (as I did).

Title: I don't want a nuke...
Post by: Swoops on November 03, 2010, 01:20:04 PM
Seriously...

Why would you want a nuke that would obliterate the fun?  I am an avid fan of the B-29, I want it perked heavily, and I want people to cry
when they lose one.  I want it to be used as its supposed to and that means understanding the consequences of your decision.  People need
to quit worrying about the stupid nuke.  I would love to see and "EPIC" Mission or a MoM full of responsible Buff pilots decimating many
targets at once.  So please, quit asking for the nuke, and when you lose a B-29, I hope it hurts.

I think the B-29 on the list is a teaser and will suddenly have a loss of following should it start to gain ground.

We've heard time and time again (recently if memory serves) that there is never going to be a B-29. This is softcore porn, just enough to excite you, then a big let down when you realize what isn't going to take place.  :cry

You people crack me up...........   The same terrible gunners will be gunning in the B29 as any other bird they cant hit crap in.  

There is no CFS.
There is no nuke.
There are plenty of birds that will catch her (Even if no Japanese planes can)

if it is the B29 i hope they will take the autoguns and make them player controlled, what i mean is you have to man each gun with a player, if you fly alone you fly with no gunners that could be the downside to flying the B29 alone

   I can see major perk points being made if you were to use say a 109G2 to shoot it down with.

So for some of the long time players, was there the same panic when the 262 and 163 was released?  :lol


EDIT For Below: Okay, but did they come out with the original Aces High?  Either way, imagine we didn't have them and HTC came out and said we're getting an aircraft with jet engines and cannons on it, I bet there would be plenty of upheaval then.

well lets see, the mosquito 16 is roughly same speed (right?), but only carries 5000lb and has no guns = perk price about 30?

b29 will probably carry 20000lb, has guns to defend itself, but wont climb as good.. I figure should be about 4x more perks.

IF it is added, I'd bet they would make it like every other perk plane at 5 ENY and add perk costs.

I don't want to comment on possible outcomes while the poll is still live but that's never been said by anybody at HTC, even in private.  It would be stupid to put something in the poll that we weren't willing to make.  We have said before that we'll never do an atomic bomb.

Honestly I'm surprised we haven't seen a

"HTC wasted my time with the poll, I don't care and yet I had to take time out to read the poll and select "Don't Care"  That is valuable time I could be just playing the game.  Why does HTC want to alienate it's non-zealot players by occupying their time for his own agenda"

Maybe I missed it.  :D

Pyro, has confirmed it.

I do not want a nuke, but I do want a beautiful, sleek, powerful plane with a bombload that rivals a modern day strike aircraft. Which saw tonnes of service in WW2 and did incredible amounts of damage. Even throughout history itself it made headlines, heck, I might even get a mate to fly one in the TA then fly a 163 under it with the orange skin and have a Chuck Yeager fantasy LOL.

It would be incredibly cool. To have, and MoM raids would be GODLIKE!  :rock

You forgot one,

"Can I get a refund on perks lost flying B-29"
 :rofl


My guess, Formations Enabled, Eny 5, perk price of 75-100 per plane, MINIMUM.  I honestly wouldn't be surprised if it was 150-200 per plane though.  It's not like I don't have bomber perks to burn. heh

if the B29 wins they should give downed pilets the option of sabotaging them on the runway.  A little TNT on the nose wheel would be a LOT of fun ;)

Denial is the first evidence that the conspiracy is there! I bet that you gentlemen are even working on a faux B-29 so we only THINK we have it. I know how you establishment people work. Trying to hide evidence from us common folk. I mean here we are, jest mindin' our own business and scrubbing our tooth and here you come trying to convince us those picture boxes won't steal our souls. I'm keeping my good eye on you.

Time for foil hats, it's our only protection.  :noid

PS: I always felt it would be such a shame to deny this great aircraft a place in the game simply because of two unique and controversial missions.  

Whether the B29 makes it or not this time around, I say with certainty that many of us are relieved that the B-29 question has been answered with complete finality.

She is eligible :)

Post by: 96Delta on November 05, 2010, 12:14:27 PM
Nuke or no-Nuke, that is the question.
I say have the nuke available....but extremely costly.

If the plane is perked at say 300 points,
just perk the single nuke load at like 500 bomber perks.
Once dropped you lose the 500 perks.
If you get shot down with nuke, you lose perks.
Must be at 30K to drop nuke.

Perking just this one ordnance loadout (a single bomb)
will make nuke use a very limited and rare event,
adding to game awesomeness!

Title: Re: Voting won't end B29 threads!!
Post by: 68ZooM on November 05, 2010, 12:31:08 PM
if it is the 29 i hope there is no formations, that's just to much IMO, if you want 3 planes then get three pilots together, with a 20,000lb loadout you wont have problems destroying towns, ports, airfields with one plane sure you'll have to make a few passes, Or get a couple buddies together and level it with one pass
