It is the Manhattan experimental project at a new stage with the nukes.

I was watching the action online earlier. Not sure whats causing the issue but for a lot of people the game was laggy and drones very often disappear under those conditions. I think its wise to wait until the majority of players get their game updated before spending all your perks on testing the 29.

I agree.  What is the perk cost of the 29?

i flew it in the training room for about 45 minutes before going into "battle"
cruising along at about 20 k  with twenty fivehundred pound bombs,one gunner,25% fuel,squaddie escorting me......./BOOM lost two drones in level flight
no reason. I know we wanted this plane hell even begged for it but 200 hundred perks lost because I flkew it straight and level?? did we rush this thing a little???
oh and I saw atleast 3 complaints of the same thing happening in the short time i was on tonight. gave up for the night,with my in game issues[bouncy arse controls] I am not able to be competitive inna fighter so I bomb.
oh and I have NEVER lost drones in level flight,until the B-29 came along

Took a set up tonight offline. Takeoff, climb, cruise and 1st bomb run went fine. I initiated a shallow bank to make a large teardrop turn for a 2nd run and both my drones disappeared.  I saw no flak hits and I know my angle of bank was not excessive.
I sent a film to the HTC crew.  I hope they can find something fixable.

Alt + tabbing will cause the B-29's drones to explode.

Any lag will often cause any drones to explode. Starting a film for the first time (me), vox, loading new terrain or skins on an old machine.

The FE loses track of the drones due to lag and the primary a/c continues along. The drones get too "far away" and blow up.

How many unnecessary processes do you have running?

thank you for the help,I have FISTA op for now so I probably have too many processes running,frankly I get intimidated when I go to shut these down,the film shows a good tight formation,I was making a small rudder turn from my gunner position,so my initial post of straight and level may have been false :o
I have a Dell xps 420 that is 2 years old,not able to buy new :frown:
