I don't see how this would work out. Bombers spend all day flying to a target to be met by waves of MiGs? No thanks. If you get a MiG, I get a B-47

You get a B-29, which is fast if used right and has good armament.

Do you know what was the mig15s arnament? Just asking.

yes

I dont think it would have much chance against a set of 29s... as even a 163 dont have so much.

anybody wants to bet 20 bucks that if we ever get a korea arena, there wont be more than 5 guys playing there after the first couple of weeks?

The B-29s were chewed up in Korea, pretty much rendered obsolete by the MiG 15.  The fire control system on the B-29 wasn't intended to track fast moving planes like jets and had difficulty in tracking the MiG when the bombers were bounced.  The B-29s were beaten up so badly that the bombers were forced to do night bombing missions as a defense against the MiG.

We had the same thing happen to B-17s in WWII before they got escorts. So it's really nothing special.

No one is using WWI arena because we have only 4 airplanes there, non of which are bombers. The only thing you can do there is furball. For the Korean War we already have the B-29, F4U, and P-47; now if we'll get four new airplanes (like WWI) we'll have a good set of aircraft which will allow us to do the same stuff as we do in MA (not just furball).
I don't know this for a fact but I think we'll also be able to use late war Russian and US GVs in the Korean war arena. Perhaps a GV expect could clarify which tanks were used.

centurion, churchill, cromwell, comet, m-10, m-18, m-24, m-26, m4, m-36, m-41, m-46, t-34/85, a few old models of su tank destroyers...

be a good excuse to have helicopters...and don't forget the ad-1 -4 skyraiders, corsairs and p-51s...f2h-2 banshee, f-10 skynight, f7f, f9f, f-80, f-84, f-94, yak-9p, la-9, mig-9

So we have the M4 and T-34/85, think we can make a good GV battle this way. Maybe we'll even get Bar's favorite M-18.

what are the chances of the korean arena opening with 20 or 30 airplanes/gvs?  even if it opens with that many it still wont have more than a few players except for the first month or two.  we should just finish the ww2 plane set.  perhaps a trail would be to have a user arena with 262's and 163's.  see how well it is received.

B17s/B24s were chewed up in WW2 aswell when unsupported.

Not so much here in aces high.

 you are still ignoring the fact that The WWI arena is nothing but furball with 4 planes and has no point to it. If it was just like the WWII arena except with the correct plane set, i expect it to be just as popular as the LW arena is.

Also Hitech didnt really advertise for the WWI arena. The commercials i see are still all based on WWII... I wonder why that is?

I really just want to fly the skyraider. The 47 also saw Korean service.

here is a really good aircraft list...

Skyraider would be a cool aircraft to fly around but so would the NK Po-2 or Yak-18.
