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

haha

I could probably with little effort rattle off at least 100 planes that deserve to be in the game before the 29....

Wrong - the A-26 Invader would be far better suited to a perked bomber role in Aces High IMHO.

If you search for the A-26, you'll find one of my threads where I asked for it :D
Afk for a year or so.  The name of a gun turret in game.  Falanx, huh? :banana:
Apparently I'm in the 20th FG 'Loco Busters', or so the legend goes.

at least you wouldn't see them diving face first into CVs while pouring bombs out..

Why would you assume that? If you can dive-bomb in a Lanc you can dive-bomb in a 29.

well I guess a person COULD do it.. but not too many times before they were "broke"

how many people are going to bomb strat for hours on end just to get enough perkies for 1 suicide B29 run?

You have to remember that some people have been playing this game for years with only the ar234 to burn bomber perks. Before I changed my name I had over 10,000 bomber perks and I know of some people that have many, many more then that.

So?  A brief rash of possibly misused B-29s is not a  reason not to add it.

There are reasons not to add it right now, but that isn't one of them.

Im sure they skys would be absolutely POLLUTED with them for a short period of time...  but even with many thousands of perkies.. at around a grand per formation even the "rich" would still probably be frugal..

Game would be great with a B29.  Reduce the 20K bomb load to whatever HTC wants.  Should be in the plane-set.

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


Um ....one small problem with your request.  The Runways in Aces High are NOT long enuff to get a B29 in the air.  So HTC would have to redo every airfield ...on every map.  I doubt that is going to happen for one plane.

Ah the irony.  Enable a plane that can't take off.

It makes perfect sense now! HTC is redoing the terrain so they can add in bases with longer runways! Just for the B29.

I'd love to see it in the game. No nuke, and a high perk cost.
