In Pyros video it seemed like they are the same modeling in the bombers already
-
The B-29 had the option to fire both manually and via the aid of the computer.
Also, I didn't see pyro shoot at a plane in the video he posted, just a target.

i think they should for historical purposes. but thats just my opinion.
-
I'd say doubtful considering the LCGs are disabled in the MAs. But who knows, I could be wrong.
-
Since they don't really model the K-14 range computing gunsight, I doubt that they will model the B-29 one. It was however one of the truly advanced Marvels of this plane. The Superfort was tough and deadly!

And the most exspensive project. i believe 2 billion dollars were spent on it. how much would that be in todays money?
-
689,619,585,481.21 Rubles
-
thats more then the B2 project wasnt it?

How much does a B2 cost? 2B.
-
2 billion each. and theres 21 B2s in service.
-
cept for the ones that have crashed :O
-
no B2 has ever crashed. the amount of computers on that thing pretty much keeps it in the air no matter what.

Funny thing is moisture in the computer system is what caused it to crash.

Cameraman on that clip seriously needs to be reassigned.

At the beginning it says it was in 2008

$2.04bn on the B-29A alone (not the aiming device) but the Manhattan project was much more expensive $20bn.

i ment the most expencive aircraft project.

This is wrong. The B-29 project was more expensive than the Manhattan project. Off hand I thin is was 3.6 Billing to around 3 Billion
-

you have to decide first what is worth now a B dollars of those times.
I vote XB-71 Valkyrie :aok Although I think the current F-35 project beats them all.
-
I vote XB-71 Valkyrie
Wasn't the Valkyrie the XB-70?
Impressive aircraft, definitely interesting to look at if you are ever near Wright-Patterson AFB.

I stand corrected. I doubt I'll ever get there, but I'll keep that in mind :aok The plane and the technology used are awesome!

you guys have to stop changing your mind on how much it costs, I have already converted 2 billion 1945 dollars to Preasent day rubles, there is no turning back now :old:

No... it did in fact cost 20bn and yes Wiki has it wrong. Check Brookings instead of that HACK website:

"Check Brookings instead of that HACK website"
Wiki's source for expenditure:
Schwartz, Stephen I. (1998), Atomic Audit: The Costs and Consequences of U.S. Nuclear Weapons, Washington, D.C.: Brookings Institution Press
:rolleyes:
-C+
-
wiki says $1.8bn, Brookings says $21bn.
they are both correct.
I'll let you work out why.

Thats some old school engineering!

it just goes to show how fast war can make something like this develop

Too bad it hasn't been there for the last 2 years. :cry
Your gonna have to settle for fondling the SR-71. :)

Really? I hadn't heard that. Where did they move it to?
-
Now that we have the B-29, what is the plane's number?
