Just look at the stats,12 .50cals and a 20mm tail gun.Not just that but 20,000lbs of bombs and could be modified to add 2 more 1000lbs bombs.Max speed 357.The B29 would be nice but i think would be perked(alot).But the B29 was not used alot during the war.

I just cant see the B29 in AcesHigh.Like i said before more german,Japan,Italian bombers and more british bombers.

Vans you and I both, but not for the Germans, the Italian bombers or fighters are a great need in this game.

I dunno, I think that the B-29 would be great to add. I just believe it will prolly if ever added have just a conventional payload (since it was modified to even carry and drop the atomics) and turrets that act as normal turrets that you can have someone man or you can jump into.
Lastly I see not why this plane causes such an uproar.  If people fly up at 30K I say great let them, that just means I will have to try harder to kill them. Furthurmore with the perkies that this plane should have attached to it (should be Heavily perked like the 262) I do not see very many people using them as stukas.  Besides most twits who use it would probably be at 15K where they would not be that invincible any way.

Why are we always wanting to expand the American bomber plane set? Can't we at least get the German, Italian, and British bomber plane set up before we go off trying to make the Americans "uber" again?

the B29 did not fly that many sorties compared to the B17 B24 B25...Add AXIS BOMBERS.

We have what...the 88...the Ki-67 is not a heavy bomber...

The Stuka is a dive bomber...

So say:

Ju88 vs. B17, B24, B25, B26, Lancaster, Boston.

It tasted weird, yet nevertheless my stomach is knotted for some reason.

SpikesX, that is precisely why we need to increase the German Bomber Plane Set. The only level bomber (which is also a dive bomber) Germany has on this game is the JU88.
