I never said that there wasnt a fighter that could get up to the level of a 29 I did in fact say that there was only few that could matter of fact there was a jap, bomber that could reach 39,000 I just dont think thaat a 29 with its alt, cap would be fair I know that most pilots wouldnt take the big bird all the way upi to its full alt, cap but some would and with the payload that the 29 had... well lets just say oh man. base gon in almost one pass.

i dont think high attitude bombing would be something practical in game. i mean if that was the case everyone would be up at 20k bombing .. whats the highest anyones ever bombed from and been effective in game?

See Bruv, you put B-29 any where in the fourm & everything else goes out the window.

At least no one's showed up going on about

NOOOOOOKSSS!!!

Also, keep in mind it wasn't that "fighters" couldn't effectively combat the B-29, it was that "Japanese fighters" couldn't effectively combat it.

The Bf109K-4, Ta-152, P-38, P-47, P-51 and Spitfires Mk IX and Mk XIV can all fight effectively, more or less, at the B-29's altitudes.

Anythin new at this point will be nice, our last "new" toy was the jeep. Effective in its own way but not somethin that i would have wanted before a new fighter or bomber. somethin like the betty bomber should have been in the game along time ago. He111 is another plane that comes to mind.

O jezz b29, just saying b29 is like stepin on a land mine. Yea it would be nice but adding it will hav alot of people postin about the dam atomic bomb. It shouldnt be added, yea it was used but dam, thats all anybody would want to drop, imgaine a set of 7 b29s dropin all over ur side of the map. U just cant do it. Incedairy bombs on the other hand we can use. I heard that it will kill our frame rate but htc needs to try to work it in, then when we get the sherman tank we can have the flamethrower on it, or if they add fps troops could have it.

regardless anythin i just want to see somethin new soon, a NEW MAP would really hit the spot about now.

Even the F4U's wepons would freez up at the 29's alt, there is a report somewere on the forum about it not shure were and the jap bomber that the F4U's were chasing his gunner's wepon was froze up. One of the F4U's
had to ram the jap bomber and then crash land after because his prop was all beat to hecl.

Posting about the B-29 is the equivalent of Godwin'ing the thread.

Now that it is out of the way. My Wish list that I would like to see.

Russian: I-16, Mig-3*, PE-2

Italian: C-200, SM-79*, G-55

German: He-111*,Ju-87G

American: TBD(Devastator)*, B-25D, PBY(landing, and taking off from water would be nice)

Japan: G4M2*, Judy, George

British/Commonwealth: Boomerang, Swordfish*, Gladiator

bkbandit · « **Reply #24 on:** July 14, 2006, 01:39:32 AM »

g4m and he111 are a must, hands done they need to get in the game. pby wat was that used for, isnt that the catalina???? Some more italian planes would be nice aswell, by the why r plane set looks u wouldnt noe they were in the war.

SOme more gvs would be cool, the sherman(flamethrower variant included) would be nice as well as the jap tanks. I seen the sherman makin amphibous landing and that would be greatwhen capin from a cv.

I doubt that anybody will take a b29 up into orbit, nobody has the patience. But if it came to the game the perk cost would be just as high as the 262 so maybe they would, BUT if we had wind in the game a single b29 at 35k wouldnt be able to knock out 5 bases. Wit out wind its like those bombers got laser designaters or somethin.

If i missed seplled anythin im sorry its 2am:lol

The Soviet Union went to war 6 months before the US, pit against almost the full might of the German military machine at its prime. The VVS were in a constant struggle against the Luftwaffe and the evolutionary cycle of their aircraft were tight into deadlock against the best the LW had to offer. Just as the RAF and their Spitfires matched the 109s toe-to-toe, the Yaks and Lavochkas and various many aircraft of the VVS also evolved in the face of the 109s and 190s through the course of four years of deadly combat...

... and we have four bloody VVS fighters in the game.

Yak-9T (1943)
Yak-9U (1944)
La-5FN (1943)
La-7 (1944)

Count them, four.

We've got seven individual Spitfires, six individual 109s, four P-47s, three P-38s, and four Corsairs and etc.. and then we have just four planes representing the entire VVS set from 1941 to 1945. Two Yaks, two Las, and the entire planeset from 1941 to mid 1943 is missing.

If I get to see another US or RAF or German plane before any VVS or Japanese planes, I'd be seriously upset.

ps) The latest 'ride' we get turns out to be an army Jeep. Lovely weather, eh?

I'll second that.

Except a B29 of course. (hehehe - only joking)

Agreed, Soviet, Japanese, Italian, and German need a little more in their plane set. I guess to the winner do go the spoils....

Yak 3 Yak 3 Yak 3.... would be a fantastically fun little scrapper. Smaller than the Yaks we have now, build later than Yak 7 and 9.

Ki-100 (Ki-61 with powerful radial engine) over 280 produced.

Mitsubishi J2M "Raiden" (Thunderbolt") nicknamed "jack"

He-177 Greif (Griffin) bomber

Petlyakov Pe-8, also known as TB-7, 4-engine bomber. 8,800 lbs of bombs.... dorsal and tail turrents were 20mm.... but only 93 produced.

Possible Solution to B-29. Do Not make avaialble on all maps..... the *very* few MA and SE maps that it IS available on, institute the "jet stream" altitude limit. All maps don't all have to be wide open. Be nice to have for senerio maps, and something to spend buff perkies on.

There...you get B29, and can still hit it.

Schutt · « **Reply #28 on:** July 14, 2006, 11:18:27 AM »

He 177 would be cool, just met an ex he177 pilot a few days ago and he said he loved to fly that plane.
