I don't think that the untouchable aspect of the b29 is going to be a big factor in the MA. Even for the perk points, who is going to spend and hour climbing that big bird up to 40k anyways? I hear plenty of people say that "who ever gets above 20,000 ft to bomb in the MA?" I don't think people will treat the b29 any different(after the cool and new aspect is over). And anything below 20k (where most MA bombing happens) the b29 is just another big four engine target.

Vudak is right, how is a 500 perk, no formation b29 going to do that much harm? 

And just so it doesn't come up....I do not want to see the nuke.

Is the B-29 any more untouchable than the 163 or 262? Perk it like the 262 and before too long only the best gunners would be able to fly them regularly. If it's never going to be put in the game then please remove the 163 and 262. There are enough superfast pick planes to choose from without them.

Why do major noobs always ask for no 262's or 163's? They may be fast but there not really maneuverable. Learn to out fly the 262 with better movement. Ive done it, it gets you torn some times but i still kill em.

umm, a 163 is pretty damn maneuverable..  nearly unbeatable 1v1 if its flown by even a half decent stick.

I'm not a major noob, i just have similar skills. I have killed 262s as well but only because they screwed up. A smart 262 pilot is a very tough kill.

Then don't screw with the 262 pilot. 163 is okay, alot of people can kill it, like i said don't screw with it if your tired of getting killed by it.

A lot of people can kill the 163?  :rofl  Maybe vulch one, that's about it. Also, you're putting words into my mouth. I wasn't complaining about being killed by these planes. Check back a bunch of tours. I don't think i've ever lost to a 163 and only a 1/2 dozen or so 262s since tour 93.

No way 500 perkies if we dont get a formation. I wouldn't even pay 10 perks for it if we didn't get a formation.

p.s. The B-29 wasn't all that great you know? Only thing it could do was fly high and drop lots of bombs... Most people in bombers wont try to climb to 30,000 feet anyways.  :rolleyes:
i got space bombing, i bombed from 70K once. I was in a lancaster and dumped all my bombs accept the 4000K. i didn't hit anything though lol.

Both of you guys have been playing for ummmmm...... a month.  Noobs!

And then this guy.... 70k   What game is that?
i got space bombing, i bombed from 70K once. I was in a lancaster and dumped all my bombs accept the 4000K. i didn't hit anything though lol.

The "real" service ceiling for the Avro Lancaster was about 23k.  You must have been playing one of those fake games.  But not here.
See Rule #4
Now I only pay because of my friends.
