considering the bomber nutss have more or less NOTHING to spend their perk points on.. there needs to be SOME sort of bomber (worthy of perkishness) added..

dont get me wrong, i like blasting around in the 234 every now and again..  but it is a VERY limited platform...

a 29 would be sweet, give it a perk value comparable with the 262..

I for one know I would double my fighter time just to get enough perks to get a 262 and go hunt for 29s..

fun for everyone.

no nukes,

or if nukes.. 2 per tour.. given in the last week to the top 2 ranked bomber pilots..  and thats it.

My proposed Idea for B-29

I. No nuclear weapons will be equipped to the B-29 in AHII
II. Perked value
III. One plane only, you want formations team up with friends.

go even more.Make the B29 take off at a Far back base say one of the noncapturable bases make them climb out and the bombsght can not be used untill you reach atleast 15K the B29 could kill a base and a good part of town with that bomb loadout.

just my $.02

put a high enough perk value on it and i doubt that would be a problem, doubt many folks would want to launch their golden goose from a foreward base or come in on a low alt run due to the risk involved

and those that would, wouldn't be flying it for long anyway.

It is because you play every second of the game.

Ki67 has a 20mm gun and it's not an uber fighter killer unless I'm flying it.
Although since the 29 has it in the tail it could make a difference.

The B-29 would be awsome as a perk bomber. I think the limitations already mentioned would prevent turning it into a 3,000' suicidal Lanc. By not allowing drones, limiting it to taking off to a few bases, and putting perks on it will probably make it a bomber that squads take up together. Which probably means we will arrange escorts.

                          To see heavies flying in formation, with escorts, dudes that is the real Aces High.

I know if I had to drop 200+ points on one I would fly it like its made of glass..

and damn sure wouldent be seen below 15k without escorts.
