Yea you'll have a good time chasing & shooting at that moving target, while she's being leveled up to spec. standards.
But the day she becomes fully operational, she'll be biting back at you with her fangs and turrets & then you'll taste and feel the hurt
Going to enjoy bombing your targets with her, might even fly a few missions at a low alt. so i can chew up your light maneuverable fighters.
ps. while your chasing her, bleeding your health and licking those wounds
my team will be flipping your bases....

I have been saving shtuff for 2 years for this day. I will get it certed immediately, immediately token my way to Spec, rob my 14 point crews (looking at yer sorry behind, B-17D), and immediately stuff all the Special Project gear I can rob (lookin' at yer sorry behind, A-26B) and see what it can do.
I am a little concerned over the fact that, of the soon-to-be 8 bombers in the 3 upper tiers, this one is the only one that appears to come with only 4 equipment slots instead of 5. A preemptive nerf?
Edited to correct my dummy self. I fergot the A-26B is Period II. I won't be able to use that equipment on the new bomber. (sigh)

Well despite is very slow and very easy to shoot down as the b-32 I will get it because it is just a beauty and used in the game as a experimental bomber, as the b-32

Definitely But i respect the move nevertheless
I for one will stick to the F2P grind. I have the time. And i like a challenge.
Is it a premptive nerf?
more like trying to keep it from being OP ... see here.

Fair warning. My success rate at speculative guesswork is on par with my WinRate. Hit or Miss.
I start on the right track and then sometimes make a weird left turn and get lost in the weeds ...

Aww, how cute. A bomber pilot excited about a new toy under the tree! Lol, the only thing I really care about in a bomber is its speed so I don't think the B-29 will be a problem for my 262. With all the equipment the HP can be increased about 30-35% so we're looking at about 3300HP? I don't think I can 1 pass that much HP but with rockets to finish the job, certainly. .50cals Don't scare HFs and looks like only one 20mm on the rear turret, should be easy enough to approach from the side or directly below. Any tier 7 aircraft will almost certainly not be able to kill it as B-32's are hard enough for them. I'd rather face a B-29 than a RB-17 with 1400m rear turret range & insta-crits...All while flying at 800kph+ <o

I agree the 262 in specialist it can eat it alive for that reason the rb is far better because is fast, the 262 will eat it alive

The turrets are def powerful but a high speed HF should be able to make a few runs and avoid the brunt of them while doing a lot of dmg. He erased tier 8 LFs pretty quickly tho. We shall see how it plays out in the NA server once ppl get them spec. just like Cobra said. Looks like a beast.

Ah, don't be! We'll launch a small update with a hot-fix for this issue soon.
