But but but but Jayhawk my bombing brother, don't you understand? The B29 would horribly unbalance the arena! I mean most planes wouldn't be able to catch it way up there in space where ALL buff pilots fly and fighter pilots NEVER venture. It would be used to close the bases on an entire front because buff pilots only live to hinder the humble and honorable fighter pilot. It's fast and has lots of pointy sticks coming out of the rear which means the humble fighter pilot cannot get cheap kills of it. It's big and would require a lot of time to make, and that time could be used to add in a P51H or a new P38, how about another Spitfire or 109. You know something we really need!
So what will a B29 add to the game that it doesn't already have? How will it enhance game play?
As one who wanted the Beaufighter, I can say that with it's different configurations it could be used any number of ways in the MA from just fighter mode, to torpedoes, to rockets to bombs. Scenario and FSO use would cover 1940-45 ETO, MTO, CBI and PTO which means a lot of different possibilities. The 29 fills one basic scenario use. Long range to Japan.
The He111 guys can at least point to B of B, Eastern Front, MTO use for that bird too. 410 covers at least a couple different roles. The Ki-43 fills a huge whole from 40-45 in the Japanese plane set and would be a perfect compliment to the Betty and would see much scenario use. The Russian birds cover more ground too.
The two birds that offer the least overall use outside of the MA, naturally seem to be the ones that folks want, the 29 and the A26.
