Title: B-29,,, I'm all giddy!
Post by: WWhiskey on November 04, 2010, 09:00:37 PM
Been a long time since something this controversial/fun, has been added to the game!!!
It will help to take the new towns down,, it will revert things back a few years as far as bases are concerned,, the ones who have whined about the changes should be happy with the new monster!
 It may even take the V-bases back to when all three hangers were on the same pad!
4-4000 bombs will make a mess of those spread out cities tho! and a second set with the 2000lbs bombs should do a nice job of cleaning up,,,,   good thing some of us have a lot of bomber perks that we had no Idea what to do with!
 I have wasted many on 234's and mossies,, but they won't be hard to make back up!

You would think HTC would man up and do something truly unique in all WW2 sim history and introduce this glorious plane to the set:

Give it bombs, Torpedoes and an insane range. :D

I'd like to see the B-29 introduced on April 1st and the extended runways 2 weeks later.  :devil

I've been thinking about the nuke as well,  maybe we should have it,, limit the yield to one town and the airbase next to it, make it cost 3000 perks per bomb,IE formation of nukes 9000 perks!
and the bomb is perked not the plane,  if you drop it you lose those perks whether you land your plane or not!

The MiG-15 forced the B-29 into doing night time bombing raids.

DickWeed, 91st, and them "PRO" bomber pilots all in the same bunch.... Be sure to carry a light as them beefy sheets of scrap metal will be blocking out the sun with one massive RAID   :noid

Where do we officially vote? I've searched all over these forums but people are just "talking" about the candidates. I'm out of the game right now so I'm assuming its in the form of an arena message. Would vote for the b-29 since I'm a bomber fanatic.

Yeah it's an in game poll that pops up when you go into an arena.

They need to add the napalm bombs to the weapons load out for massive fire bombing raids. Oh I can see it now, the cities and HQ burning while goons are frantically trying to resupply.

I hope the 29 wins it,it will be a new challenge to master in the field of bomb raids.

This member of the 91'st Bomb Group looks forward to the B-29...

And I am not alone...

My father had a good friend who flew as an observer on a B29 mission over Korea.  After a dinner evening and a belly full of wine he talked about having with him an 8mm camera and was using it to film Mig15s making attacks on the B29 formation.  It was apparently a very tense sortie and I do not know if any B29s went down but at least one Mig15 did.  When they got back to the base he disovered that he hadn't removed the lens cover.  He said how ill he felt at not capturing the event.

This guy had been a pilot on B26s during the big one.  Was a great man!  One evening he came over to the house for dinner (they did this often after my dad retired and I loved just hanging around after dinner listening to those two swap stories) and he brought with him a shoe box full of photos of his time during the war.  I rcall hundreds of photos of crew poses, nose art, and combat shots.  He is long since gone.  I have often wondered what happened to that shoe box after the wife passed on.  They had no children.

add to that......it will in all obviousness level the town. it will also make the town un-inhabitable for sayyyy........2 hours? thus you cannot capture the town till it becomes habitable.  :devil

there is no real challenge to bombing things in the ma's.....getting through to target there may be, but not in hitting your target......not in the ma's anyway.

 to me the b-29 will just be another reason to not go to the lw arenas.

I'm interested in what the ord loadout will be. I know they won't have nukes, but the largest conventional bombs it carried (that I've found) was 2- 10,000lb pumpkin bombs.

For me it will be the first reason I have had to go in to a LWA in years.  If it makes the vote.

IT probably will.....and don't mis-interpret me.......i'm not trying to say how others should play.....if we get it, i know you guys will have fun with it.  :aok
