The Duke -> B-29 Normal/Extended Range (9/12/2006 7:46:16 AM)

I'm in a PDU-on PBEM as the Japanese in April '44.....the game mysteriously accelarated all allied units 6 months, and he started bombing me with B29s in the fall of '43. Now that we're in 4/44, his superfort BGs will start getting reinforcements as well.....plus converting any BG he wants to '29s....but I digress....

So, my question is this - what is the normal and max range (in hexes) for the B29s?

This is the start of some real fun as the Japanese player [8|]

You can watch the Allied AC screen, and check the range (normal and extended) on it, just divide it by 60 to have the range in hexes.

Sorry, I haven't WITP available right now but I always do that.

From memory range should be around 25 ?

In RHS the range of a B-29 is 93 hexes - corresponding to a normal range of 23 hexes. This is greater than in stock or CHS. We contemplate increasing this by 7% for version 5.0 - if that is agreed upon - so it will be 24 or 25 hexes (it is very close to 25). The WITP system is that 25% of range is normal - but it should be somewhat greater for a bomber.

I think B29 range is 20 normal and 26 or 27 extended in stock scenarios.

Given the number of B-29 lost to lack of fuel while raiding Tokyo area from Marianas, I won't say Saipan-Tokyo range should be considered as normal.

If you fly B-29s at those rangers, you -will- lose a lot to ops losses and damages not making it home.
