b-29 but with a catch

[jolly22]

ok heres my idea...........we add a b-29 with NO COST!!!!!!   BUT the nuke or more than 20 1000ibs bombs should be perked

Ok, you're not new to this board so I guess you know what comes next (i.e. nook being dropped on tanks picture, flaming, insults, etc).

Here are the problems with adding the B-29 to Aces High:

• as you propose it, there would be no perk price on the plane itself or any 'normal' ordinance load.  This would probably mean that it would replace all the other bombers in the medium/high altitude bombing roles - the B-29 is fast, heavily armoured, and has a pair of 20mms in the tail.  Plus it would (or at least could) fly so high that it would be difficult to intercept.  Perhaps the only practical way to intercept it would be the Me-163, and that's only enabled in 1 or 2 bases per country. For these reasons I doubt the B-29 will ever be added as a non-perked plane.
• IF IT WERE perked, then it would have to have quite a high perk price, probably something similar to that of the Me-262.
• HOWEVER if it were given such a high price (which it would probably have to be, for the reasons given above), then it would be rarely flown.  This raises the question: why should HiTech Creations spend the time, money and effort to make this plane, if nobody flies it?
• Again, if they were to add the B-29, it would NOT have the nuclear bomb - HiTech has already said this.  So it would just be a very fast, very high altitude and very expensive (and thus very rare) bomber.  There are many planes which would be far more valuable additions to the game than this.

It's time HTC starts reprimanding people for this spamming for the B-29.

I think the B-29 would be a nice addon for the HTC staff to work on in their free time (Not like they have much anyways but you get the point). The B-29 would be something like the Ar234 if added, minus speed and plus bomb load. I'd say about 100-150 perks (per plane?). It'd give the buff dweebs (myself included) something to spend their perks on other than taking the Ar234s up (Which most people know, I love taking it up). It would have to be perked obviously, but it'd have to be perked high enough for it not to be used every sortie by someone. The thing could get high, so there IS a chance of making it home. Again, it'd be a nice addon someday, but I think HTC has higher priorities.

likes spike says...i think we need somekind of better jet bomber i think the 234
SUCKS!!!

Well, I beg to differ on that one. I could probably kill you 1v1 with my 20mm arse guns.
In terms of bomb load compared to the lanc, yes, but not all around.

[jolly22]

i have about 900 bomber points but im not going to use them on the Ar234

Umm "some kind of better jet bomber" and you're asking for the B29? Please tell me you're joking.

[jolly22]

well im just saying...... we need a new bomber period

[Sincraft]

 bump for nukes?  Or at least sharks with freaking lasers on their heads?

Another wish granted:





New argument against Nooks:

B-29s had to be specially modified for the bomb to fit in it.  Same for Lancs that carried Tallboys.

[jolly22]

love that shark

[Wingnutt]

at least you wouldn't see them diving face first into CVs while pouring bombs out.. heck that is reason enough for me, add the sucker.

[simshell]

I think it might be the only perk bomber that could be added

hard for me to understand why everyone hates the idea of it, I mean we got some planes in this game that saw much less use and made little impact on the war

one example being the TA-152 and the Jet bomber

although the nuke is stupid of course, but I bet HTC could add a option that if you payed by credit card say 10 dollars you get 1 nuke to use,  just kidding of course
