I would reallly like to see this B_29 implemented as a bomber perk plane instead of just the ar234 any comments?:)
-
me...im not a good fighter or bomber pilot...my frame rate kills me and my pc is below par......i cant get perk points..i die to much......i would never get to use it in combat
-
dude we all die alot, sometimes the point is ... its a game have fun anyway ya can just dont be to vulgar, all planes in here have a serious learning curve believe me ...i suck so just have fun and try to learn
-
Yeha I'd like to see it but not untill some other countries have gotten their fair share of buffs, Italy, Japan, Germany, Russia.
-
Personally, I've never really understood the rational that we need a more equal representation from the participants of the war. I mean, do we really need an Italian bomber? I'm sure that there are some who would say yes. I personally couldn't care less. There you have it. But why would the fact that the Italians do not currently have a bomber make it a more valid addition than another US Bomber?
[edit] you know, I have a better way of phrasing this, but I don't want to further hijack this thread. I'll start a new one.

Because otherwise the Italians will feel left out (wich they are) and same thing with other countries. US have 2 Bombers, LW 1, Brits 1, why should US get 1 more when the other countries have non?
Where is your new thread?
Btw, I want it, but not until you know what...
-
personally i'd like to see all planes that served in WWII to make it into AH. i know that will never happen, but its still nice to dream:) i have to go with wilbuz on this one tho. lets get some variety.
-
I agree with variety.......

But do we "need" the HE-177? No.
People "want" the 177, but no way do we need it.
If you want balance, then the Japanese "need" a bomber before any more German fighters OR bombers are introduced.
I know it's just a game but I see way too many people saying "no more US stuff, too much already", then turn right around and start listing a bunch of LW planes they want, when we have a pile of LW iron as well!
Ya can't throw out the equality issue, it don't hold water.
If I want a fast climbing fighter to intercept a buff, what choices do I have? 109G10 or another LW ride. Ta152 was heralded by some as the answer to their prayers of LW dominance, we get it (despite insanely low combat time), now you read threads about "it isn't right, it is too slow", etc....to which I can only say, "BS!" Kinda like HiTech told me in June....you can't deny the laws of physics, and no matter what the old test documents said or say about a plane, my money is on HTC to have the performance correct.
Rant mode: OFF
Seriously fellas, I think the He177 would be fine for the guy who cannot think of flying a B17 or Lancaster because they ain't LW rides. But the Betty or another Japanese bomber would be more appropriate IMO, if for no other reason than you know what one is just from the name. I had to look up the He177, as it was not a major player in the war, or more correctly, it did not receive the attention other planes did.
But we don't "need" it, some of us merely "want" it, like I "want" the P47M, ya know? :D

Japanese late war bomber is already coming, late war soviet Tu-2s is propably otw too (Pyro asked interior pics earlier), U.S has 3 bombers in game (B-17, B-26, TBM), RAF has 1,5 (Lancaster and Mosquito FB, maybe bomber variant of Mosquito coming (easy to model from FB), LW has two (Ju-88 from 1940 and perked Ar-234 from 1944).
I admit Italy doesn't have bomber in AH thought I would rather see LW have a non-perked late war bomber first. Remember He-177 would propably have smaller load than what was its max load in war (6000kg) because same reasons which limits B-17 G's load to 6000lb.

Agree, noth Italians and the Japanese need more planes before anything else (in plane way) is added. Personally I'd just see more realism and planes fixes though.

Frankly, I would rather see the early war stuff developed more fully. All of the "there were 12 of them developed and TWO were test flown! I DEMAND IT" people just make me wonder sometimes. :p (I mean the Ar234 is cool to watch take off and stuff but really...)
(note: not implying anything here krazyhorse, just been reading a lot of "I want" threads lately) ;)
I'm not saying there weren't number of B29s produced or even used. I just think there are bombers in need of HT development time before the Superfort.
e.g. Val, Kate, Betty, He111, Ju87, B24
add to that wish list the P40, Buffalo, F4f, A6m2 Zeke and you have the potential for some kickass scenario work :D

thats why i posted it, just for feed back,;)
