VWE, since you, as many others, did not want to see a B-24, think of it in a positive way. Now that it is here, you can add several scenarios to the CT and SEA.

Think, with the Ki-84 and the B-24J, the Pacific maps will be completely different.

In the SEA, it is now possible to do a Ploesti scenario which would be very exciting IMO.

And, if you absolutely despise the B-24, think of it like this:
Now Superfly has done a bomber in the new AHII arena and the next bombers probably won't be as difficult to make as the first.

Now TBolt, about that sig....

who knows, it could be sidestepping a landmine...

TBolt Please shorten your sig.

YES! Finally a B-24. I get so tired of B-17's being the only heavy US bomber. Now maybe we can do a proper Ploesti scenario.
WTG Superfly and HTC. Now, if we could just get a 29 in the mix...

Remember fighter pilots make movies, bombers made history.

Hehe Tbolt. Now you HAVE to get rid of it.

Oh well, I guess I dont have to go off and fix your incorrect posts about a B-29.

For now anyways....

RPM, I like that quote. Whered you get it from? Surprised i havent seen it elsewhere.

You've never seen that one, United?

That's an old, old quote.

Very nice, Superfly!

Thank you HTC!

Its better then nothing.

And I do not despise the B-24, but does it really add more to this game than say the HE-111 or Pe-2?

I hope that HT dialed in the flight characteristics of that thin Davis wing. This is a plane that really needed 2 pilots on the wheels when loaded up heavy.

And yes it will be used in the MA as a dive bomber just like the B-17...

I hate this. Why waste a perfectly good bomber formation to suicide-dweeb to get a kill on a hanger. There should be some kind of reward for landing a successful bombing mission. I'd hate to see a beautiful B-24 divebombing into an airfield!

Well, at risk of being ostracized by the "gamers" in the community, there has been a very simple suggestion made (and, heard by staff) that could end the divebombing b.s.

T bolt, I think using smaller font would be better.

The bigger question is how many skins will be accepted total?

Figure for the 24 at minumum to be fair you'd have:

USAAF 5th, 8th, 13th, 15th AF and possibly 11th for those Aleutian birds.

RAF
RAAF
USN

That's 8 already and it covers just about all aspects of the B24's war then.

Throw in some of those F7 paint schemes and even a formation assembly paint job and the list gets long

Well, I'm not trying to push any limits here. But, HT said to make the sig shorter, and it IS shorter now.

The B-29 was a huge plane. It deserves a big font, imho.

i hope the bombsite auto- calibrate or it will be just another dive bomber.
