The Super Fortress

[stodd]

Both of you guys have been playing for ummmmm...... a month.  Noobs!
And then this guy.... 70k   What game is that?
The "real" service ceiling for the Avro Lancaster was about 23k.  You must have been playing one of those fake games.  But not here.

Ummm Ive known caldera for several months...hes no noob.

but will you back up his 70K claim??

[Captfish]

but will you back up his 70K claim??

Caldera didn't make a 70k claim, superbkiller is the one that said it

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.

what makes you so sure?

[SKYGUNS]

The vast majority of WWII aircraft had mechanically controlled flight surfaces, not electric/hydraulic ones. Even in Korea I think the MiG15 had mechanically controlled flight surfaces (wires & cables). Not sure about the B24, though.

I believe the b24 did. I just watch an episode of dogfights, desperate German pilots would use their prop to chop the top of the aircraft just behind the cockpit because that's were the wires and rods mostly were. You lose those, you lose control.

<--still doesnt know why the thread is up

[100goon]

Here we go again.

yup

In honesty, I don't understand why a heavily perked (500 range even), non-nuclear/napalm, B-29 would be so darned unbalancing.

1.  Are there really no fighters that can catch it at MA altitudes?

2.  Are there really no fighters that can reach its ceiling?

(These are honest questions - I don't know the answers.  Enlighten me )

If question 2 is correct...  Then why not just put in a little cross wind way up in the air where none of the fighters can reach?  Not enough to make flying a B-29 up there impossible, but enough to make bombing from that alt a serious challenge.

If question 1 is correct...  First of all there's the 262 and 163, and second of all, people will just have to make their passes count.

I'm seriously doubting there are THAT many people that have enough BOMBER perks to be able to shrug off 500 point perk deductions enough to make this a horrible addition to the plane set.

45 mins for a town to rebuild.  HQ much less with folks resupping it .  B29 would be too cool for school.  Unperk it.  No nuke.  Give it a payload that makes sense in Aces High.  Would be fun for all.

Sorry V, didn't answer your questions.  I think the B29 would be a hoot as I gather you do too.

Exactly   Or perk it, I don't care

From what I recall, the armour was as bad on it as the B-24.

If a B-24's #3 engine catchs fire or goes out, your gonna go down because you lost hydraulic pressure (and electricity I think)

something wierd happened to me before in the game, i was bomging a HQ in a B-24, and on my way back tol the base ,a ME-163 came in on, i was at about 17,000 feet up, anyways, i shoot him down, but before he go down he shoots 2 engines on fire, so i thinking maybe if i climb they will go out, i climb to 19-20 k and the fire go out, i dont know what happen, if it was a glich or something that HTC has set, but whatever it was it saved me

So who is going to start working on skins for our new b-29
