Why is it they are rare hens teeth in game?
Who were the people who voted for these planes and why are they not flying them all the time?
If we had a meteor it would seen all the time, Jet invented by the British stolen by the Germans :old:

I see 410's all the time. I think the perk value of 29's has a lot to do with not seeing many. Not everyone has 400+ perks to throw away on a strat run.
-
The reason you do not see 29's is because they are out of icon range @ 30+k. Also because they are expensive. I see alot of 410's low and being used for base defense. Check my wirble stats.

I never look at stats :)
and don't tune to 200 :)

Took a flight of 29's up after reading this and hit Rook HQ from 29K. Nobody even upped to intercept.

Nobody wants to spend 30 minutes climbing to be wonder-bb pinged off the sky by a buff.

I'd guess the people mostly voting for the B-29 were the last ones who could actually afford flying one ;)
300 perks for a formation are quite a risk for the majority of players, and that's why they have to fly very high. But that takes more time than many are willing to invest. Lacking a really attractive (for the masses) strategic target, the 29 is practically a plane looking for a job.
And the 410... well, folks are slowly realizing that their awesomely armed fighter... isn't really one :devil
(I will present a detailed analysis on 410 usage over time after the end of this tour)

But on the other hand, a plane with a perk price like that (p/o the other guy if you kill him) and a very juicy ENY of 2.0 is quite an attractive target. I have done a number of B-29 strat runs this tour, and my guns saw a lot of use, despite flying at 28-30k
