B-29 Superfortress and/or the Messerschmitt Me 410

haha me either, only reason I didn't bring up it being used to strafe GVs is because I imagine it would be modeled like a 152 (as far as stability is concerned) and I coudn't imagine being in a low and slow 152 trying to strage GVs while fiddling with your (flight) stick trying to aim

thank god u added (flight) in otherwise even High Tech would begin a roast of you....

Not exactly sure but there are some flying in the states somewhere in Texas I think.

You wrote your previous post without really knowing for sure. There arent more than 1 Ta152. It's rotting in the NASM depot. There aren't that many 190s airworthy at the moment. Karnak covered the other aspects, re: modeling.

The Confederate Air Force (Now, Commemorative Air Force) does have FiFI, the only flying B-29. SN44-62070.
She is flown into Reno occasionally and, is used as a static display during the Reno Air Races.
A.F. Crash, Fire, Rescue was absolutly correct. And A.F., Thanks for your military service <S>

Ahhh...Here it is.   http://www.cafb29b24.org/a/B-29-FiFi_History.htm

To be honest, in all my time of denying the B-29's existence and possibility for game use, I'll admit, I wouldn't mind seeing it in the game.  Not now, not next update, but eventually.  Maybe even have a trial run for the B-29?  Put it in an update, and if it doesn't work and a large majority of the community complains, patch it out the next time around?  Regardless, it'll be interesting seeing it in.

To validate the B-29 wish, here are some things you need to think about:

1. B-29 is huge and silver, it sticks out like a sore thumb.
2. It was designed for 30+K fighting.
3. In the MA's, you'd probably never see it above 15k, definitely 20k, just a giant donut target.
4. Incorporate all the mechanical problems into the B-29,you got a death trap.



 

Oh, trust me, I would take it WAY above 30K

Not if we give you a 111 first you wouldn't...

Actually there are quite a few air worthy FW-190s, TA-152s, and Ju-88s around so they most likely could get around one, look at the design, and get the flight dynamics of it. But since there is only one B-29 left, the problem is getting the chance to get around the aircraft and actually having a flight on it to retrieve the flight dynamics of the plane.

     Sorry, but my BS meter pegged on this post.  I can think of 1 190 <not including the Flugwerke replicas>
0 152s or Ju88s.  Heck there aren't even that many 109s flyable and they made about 33,000 of them.

     Of course you don't have to fly one now to have flight test data left over from when they were built and
tested.  You generally don't flight test 60 year old designs, you test the new stuff or old stuff that you added
new stuff to.

I think the Ju-88 at the AFM (the one in inaccurate Rumanian markings) is in flyable condidtion, but to the best of my knowledge it hasn't flown in decades. Might have even been so long that its not flyable for want of maintenance in fact.

Like HT couldnt get his hands on the CAF B-29  . They are based in Texas.

Aw crap. I just used that same scene for my movie. 


Skuzzy looks hairier than Sean Connery in The Rock.

Or forget the B-29 and give us a Russian bomber
