Im happy with Aces High its a great game and im addicted for good.

However, I came from a different game that had a fuller planeset.

I would like to see some planes added but most of these come from the soviet and Japanese air forces. The ones with a * would love to see 1st.

Fighters:

russian, iyshak, mig 3, lagg3 , yak 3*, hurri IIb,

japanese, J2M3*(jack) , ki84 i c* (30mm frank)

Bombers:

russian, Tu-2*, PE-8 (this is a 4 engined bomber bigger than a B17)

japanese, G4M2 * (betty),

We need a better perk bomber because bomber pilots have nothing decent to spend their perks on I think maybe the PE8 or B29 would be obvious choices.

There is no piont in having a B-29 if we get one of thouse no one could get up to it. I spoke to HITECH at the con and he said that having a B-29 would be pointless.

but it was a plane in WWII so why shouldn't it be there.. they have multiple versions of some plane which i think is pointless. there should be just one and then in the configuration it can be switched to the certain model you want. but if they are over powering or would cause it use easy to win if it was used just but a high ENY. even though ENY dont mean crap. it would still be available as it was during WWII

ACtually, from what I remember HTC had said in the past the problem with the B-29 was figuring out how to do the remote-fired guns. The 29 would CERTAINLY be of use whenever CT gets to the Pacific.

In the MA, forget ENY, the 29 would need to be perked HEAVILY.

The B-29 flew so high that most planes if not all of them could not get that high. I dont think the P-51d could get that high. I think in this forum there is only one account tould on anouther post about a F4U-1C getting that high and the guns froze up so the pilot had to use the plane to basicly beat the outher plane out of the sky. Thus almost killing him self.

Properly deployed, the 29 would be very, very hard to catch, but it´s not that "no one could get up to it". P47N, Me 163, Spit XIV would come to mind. And of course the TA 152H, wich has its peak power just around the 29´s service ceiling. The problem would be more the short time before first warning and the buffs arrival in target area. On the other hand, most people are not patient enough for a 45-60 minute climb to 30k

EDIT: Just don´t misunderstand me: I do not really ask to get a B29, there are many more gaps in planeset I would like to get filled first

Well yea like I asked for a good tank buster but they wont give us one or even a german MLRS dont know the name but I know they used them. I guess CT is keeping them too busy to make new planes?

Read some history.

Yes, Ki-84s couldn't effectively combat it, but J2Ms could.

Also bombing altitudes had to be reduced to 7-8,000ft due to the jet stream over Japan. A lot of bombing took place at night, from low altitude.

Thanks for the Info I was just tol that hardly any fighters could get that high. The guy that tould me flew F4U's in WWII I noticed when I looked up the J2M's that there was a coup;e of asian planes that could go to 38 and 39,000 ft so thanks for the info.

This wasnt a b29 thread i was just making the point of bomber perk points not being used.

But i do genuinely believe the 2 countries listed especially SU early war stuff is being left out.

Debonair · « **Reply #11 on:** July 08, 2006, 08:50:18 PM »

IMO a late war B-29s against 262s scenario would be a kewl what-if kinda thingy

red26 · « **Reply #12 on:** July 09, 2006, 10:08:55 AM »

I didnt meen to make a B-29 post out of this one. I just know that a lot of people ask for stuff that isnt the best for this forum. I asked for a German M.L.R.S. but I dont think that will make it to the hanger anytime soon. It would be a good ride to have like the PT Boat It has the rocket launchers on each side. The German MLRS has the same thing but on a tank insted of a boat. But I understand where you were going with your post and I ~~you for bringing it up.~~

But in all fairness, who in the MA would actually take the time to get it up to full altitude? Most people in the MA want quick thrills; climbing to 30,000 just isn't in the plan.

Not that I'm advocating the introduction of the b-29, but I don't see it as invincible or unfair (assuming nukes out of the question).
