The B-17 was a hell of a plane, the B-24 was a death trap, (the fuel lines were prone to gunfire and as a result left many crew to burn alive in the beautiful beast).  The B-25 was a remarkable plane, my father was a flight engineer on the B-25.

Every plane played an important role in the war, I never denied that.


Then don't ask NOOB questions.

It has been stated before by HTC that the B-29 will not be added. It would be a destabalizing factor.

Why give the griefers an even more effective tool to do thier griefing with. The bombers we have are more than effective. They have killer guns, laser guided bombs (or so they seem) and they do not have to deal with turbulance or wind drift. The bombing aspect of the game is one of the most "unrealistic" parts of AHII.

I say, before we get another large bomber, we need wind above 10K with turbulance, random bomb drift and get rid of the easy mode bomb site.


The B-29 did not end the war, a nuclear bomb ended the war.

AWESOME, AWESOME idea!

I'll get started on this right now.

You should see the plane ingame in about, oh, 2 weeks.

Where did this comment about the 24 come from?  I know lots of guys who flew 24s and they never looked at it that way.  Considering it served in every theater of the war and did things the 17 couldn't, I'm hard pressed to describe it as a 'death trap"

That sounds way too much like a history channel comment to me.

Now, I would really love to see proof that he said that. Just to let you know the B29 was one of the reasons the perk system was added.

Simple statement?  

Use Search.   Simplicity notwithstanding, you should have known this had been asked for already.
