B-29 Super Fortress

[KingRat]

I agree with Vudu15...it was a real plane that was used way, way more than the AR234 which can be just as inaccessible to normal fighters as a B29.   If we had a vote, which I know we don't, I'd vote that no B29 = no AR234, just remove it and perk lancs or something.   

Obviously no nukes...it's stupid to suggest there should or would be any. 

The B29 is just a bomber.  It's pretty much the same level of superiority to other bombers as the 262 is to other fighters, maybe even a little less than that, so why all the crying every time it's suggested?   It's been suggested so many times that people are sick of hearing about it...HTC shouldn't that tell you something?  Like maybe a lot of customers want it?

Come on guys we all know the B29 won't come. If it does won't come for awhile. The topic is here if it ever will or why we would bring it to the game anyway.

just put it in the game so people stop starting more post about it!

it is, but the max in game allowable bomb load of 14k

     According to whom, exactly?

RUBBER DUCKY!!! tytytyty!!!

but seriously, this thing about the B29 being an "offline" plane is a BS thing. they don't have the B29 they probably never will...

No a ace pilot is a ace pilot, a kamikaze carried ords into a boat that would blow on impact, which you can't do in AH, which I thank HTC for.

sorry to say this but many pilots suicide into CVs anyways just so they can be accurate with B26s and P38s and all those wonderful planes so the CV will get max damage and go down. They drop bombs and rockets then use cannon until they eat wood...

     Those aren't pilots, they're guidance systems for cruise missiles.

HTC I believe.

Lets face it, customers want tthe b29, put in the b29

Lots of people want the B-29 for the wrong reasons. I wouldn't mind seeing massive missions to hit the strat, escorts and all.

But I would hate to see a whole countries shoreline shut down, preventing 3-4 good fights.

IMO, having the B-29 for positive reasons listed above is not worth the probable, consistent, frustration that it would bring.

the lancaster holds 14k, and that cannot take out an entire base. the b29 holds 20k, only 6 kmore than the lanc. if 14k of bombs cannot take out an entire base, theres no way 20k is going to take out several bases

No just because the customers want it does not mean that it should necessarily be here people here wish for things that the want, often regardless of how it would impact the community and game as a whole.  People are often selfish in their wants or don't really actually know what they want.  

"Because they want it" is actually a horrible reason to make a game change.

but the distance between the planes means only the center planes bombs hit the target

[Rino]

     Evidently you have absolutely no idea how much more accurate AH bombers are than
their WW2 counterparts.  Strategic bombers were generally not used against tactical targets,
Operation Cobra being the exception rather than the rule.

     No LGBs or GPS guidance in the 1940s.

Not another "I want a B-29 thread".

Uh no. Almost every player who frequently fly's a bomber knows that the drones bombs almost ALWAYS hit the target. Even if the bombs do not directly impact, the splash damage still causes the same effect.
