OOOooo this race just got good. I really excepted it to be B29 vs A26, both of which I want to win. But now with the great and wonderful B29 vs the piece of crap Me410 this made the race interesting.

It's no suprise that the A-26 didn't make the last two, everyone who would have voted for it, voted for the B-29 instead.

Agreed, this probably has a lot to do with it.

Do they ever show the voting numbers after all is completed?...would be interesting to see just how close or off the particular planes were within the process.

B-29 will landslide this vote.

Or it could be that those that wanted the A-26 thought it would be some great dogfighter like it was in AW and once they realized it wasn't, went for the next uber ride on the list.

Would be excited about either plane making it, but I voted for the 410.

I don't think most of them have realized that yet.  My sense is that virtually the entire A-26 mafia wants to use it as a fighter.

they added both the finalists last time   seeing as B29 has to win I guess both of them will happen. 
Think that was because the vote was .000001% of a margin between the B25 and P39.

In the end Me410 would most probably see more use overall in the LWMA. As it has been discussed, B-29 takes ages to climb to safe altitudes. It must be heavily perked regardless, which makes it rather compulsary to climb to high altitudes in order to fly the perks home and that takes more time than most are willing to spend just climbing. At low altitudes it will be significantly slower and due to it's status and hefty perk cost, it will be like flypaper to fighters.

Once it's up there at 25-30k, it will be very hard to intercept/shoot down but very few will have the patience to take it up there regurlarly. On top of the low use, it will take a lot more time to model art-wise than a Me410, which will also be used more. So in this light, Me410 will offer more bang for the buck.

Bet the B29 is HiTech's answer to "Waaaaaa the strat and towns are tooooooooooo biggggggggggggggg waaaaaaaaaaaaaa!".....

If it doesen't make it this round then, we know whining is what replaced adapting and overcoming in the under 50 generations in the United States.

20,000 pounds of general purpose high explosive should be able to close down a few things in a single pass. Be sad if no one saw this olive branch for what it is from HiTech.

BFG9000 - Doom = B29(20k lb bombs) - AH2

Whining for the Tall Boy(12,000 lb) and Grand Slam(22,000 lb) in the Lancaster might have been simpler to deal with the strat and town. Wonder what the HTC staff calls the perennial bellyaching in house from the forum over I want this, gimmie gimmie that.....
