B29 WINS!!!!!!

[Yeager]

P61 rules hard over the 410.  Next vote goes for the P61 

[Yossarian]

killing 17's, 24's, lanc's, that B25 tears them up fast

Bomber killing is for nubs.  Real men kill GVs

Thoughts:

1) B-29 is going to be perked, and HEAVILY. I'm expecting to see it as at LEAST 200 perks, maybe as high as 500.

2) Just like any other 4-engine bomber, the B-29 is going to take time to get to altitude. Which means anyone rolling a B-29 from a forward base is going to be low and struggling to get air underneath them as they cross the front lines.

3) The B-29 is STILL a fast bird at all altitudes, so she doesn't necessarily have to climb to 30,000ft to make life difficult for defenders. Remember that the B-29 WAS used in the same sort of low-altitude, high-speed night raids the Mossie B carried out in Europe.

4) There's still question as to how HTC will model the gun controls.

5) In all likelihood, B-29 sorties will be launched from bases deeper behind the front lines, so it SHOULD be easy to spot a high-altitude B-29 raid forming. One can generally assume that the altitude of such raids will be "high" and can be planned upon accordingly.

6) While the B-29 IS going to be used to hit bases, it's almost guaranteed that she's primarily going to be used to bomb the cities and HQ, so it's not going to take a WHOLE lot of guesswork where those high-altitude B-29 raids are heading. This should actually PROMOTE combat, assuming people want to up to defend the city and HQ.

Remember, as long as you roll to oppose them, bombers will ALWAYS promote a fight.

 but when your busting tanks and a set of low bombers comes in what better fun then that  

[DREDIOCK]

B-29 won. Whoever woulda thunk it.
 
LMAO given the lack of forward thinking capability of many of the community It was as predictable as the sun rising.

I can think of one reason and one reason only to put this plane into the game. And it aint a good one.

Mark my words

The hypocricy that I see on these boards is overwhelming.

And the 29 will probably have such a ridiculous perk attached to it , you won't see it that much.

Very unlike the game changing 51.

These doomsday folks make me laugh.

Really big, organozed raids like the MoM will head to strat/city targets, no doubt.

But considering all factors (perk price, strategic & score gain from bombing the strats) a lot (if not most) B-29's will end up bombing a series of town centers.

Bombers are just target drones. On opening day, I'll be up to bag my quota. 262 FTW!!

[Beefcake]

what else to say that others have not ?

This is my strict opinion on the matter of weather we need new bombers or not.

Put simply I'm a buff pilot, 95% of my time is spending flying a bomber of some sort in the MA. Aces High has a limited amount of bombers to choose from compared to fighters and attack aircraft. Also we only have 2 perk aircraft to choose from and both are light fast attack bombers. As a buff pilot I have a limited amount of planes to choose from and some of these planes have been around for a LONG time. I know that I like a little variety every once in awhile.

Good luck trying to get up to us.

Having the B29 win the "poll" proves to me this sim/game is heading more and more towards being an arcade style of game.  Yeah, go ahead and put the " " in under my quote, but the fact remains that people voted more for what is familiar to them rather than what is more true to the AH realm.  The number of gaping holes in the plane line up is so obvious to those of us who know of thing or two about WWII.  

Ah well... life goes on.  I just hope the thing gets perked beyond belief and has no drones available.    

Oh, please.

I voted for the Me410 as well, but this post is nothing but tripe.

If this poll had happened in 2000 or 2001 the B-29 would still have won.  I was there and the player base's love of history lead to the F4U-1C getting 15-20% of kills each tour.

Finally and old guy gets thrown a bone..........

LMAO. Why? You already have your centrally controlled lasercannon.

Im interested in seeing how they plan on improving the gunnery of a plane wherein the already existing heavy bombers already had that kind of central control.

Smart bombs perhaps? lmao
