I doubt that they did.
Title: Re: I SEE B-29!!!!
Post by: Plazus on January 31, 2011, 10:06:10 PM: I may be wrong, but take a closer look at the B29's wings in both pictures. They are at the same angle. Also note the shadows under the engines. Again, they are consistent in both photos. Look again at the wingtip. The wingtip blocks out the tip of the vertical stabilizer at the same angle. This is why I suspect the B29s are photo-shopped from the historical image above.

Plauz, you're correct, the B-29 you posted has without a doubt been shopped into the Zeke teaser. It's a fantastic shop, but still fake n ghey none the less.

Sorry guys. :bolt:

No because it is only in the one picture. They do not show up in any other of the 6 photos. Easter egg added by Greebo or Waffle probly. Hmm.. Easter egg with easter being in April... :bhead

Title: Re: I SEE B-29!!!!
Post by: Citabria on February 02, 2011, 06:39:47 PM: your not thinking fourth dimensionally about this easter egg.

they would not bother shopping in a photo of the real b29.

the meaning of the b29 in the distance could signify the rapid progress of its construction.
perhaps photoshopped in at the last minute from the skin viewer or directly from the 3d modelling program?
or it could be genuinely there in game.

you never know!

its a great subtle easter egg in the pic though imo. nice one HTC.

Gawd - does HiTech really drink that crap? Might as well throw a clod of peat into a glass of ethanol.

Try a decent Scotch -
Macallan - Sherry Oak Cask - 18, 25 or 30 years old. Scotch should not be drunk until it is old enough to have sex (in States other than West Virginia).

Gawd - does HiTech really drink that crap? Might as well throw a clod of peat into a glass of ethanol.

Try a decent Scotch -
Macallan - Sherry Oak Cask - 18, 25 or 30 years old. Scotch should not be drunk until it is old enough to have sex (in States other than West Virginia).

I'm sure they'll welcome whatever you decide to send them. :D
