This game absolutely blows my mind, and I love it. The realism is like no other game I've ever played! So cool.

That having been said, does anyone know what happened to the B-52? Is it perhaps unlockable? For such a mainstay in the US army I had hoped to see it in the game. What a sweet plane.

I think the B-52 was replaced by the B-2 bomber....but I am not 100% sure. I am sure other gamers on the board may shed more light on this. Fellas? Twisted Evil

PS...glad to hear you liked it.

Well, replaced in that the B-2 is a better bomber, yes. I don't know about actually replacing the B-52, though. They only made 21 B-2s because they cost about $2 billion, I think, and their production was eventually halted. I don't know that it's different for B-52s, but all the same I'd have liked to see them for character alone. Smile

In the near-future world where the battles of Dai Senryaku take place, the B-52 has been deemed too ugly to fly. Just kidding.

I love the B-52. Last time I looked, they were up to the 'H' version, I think. They just keep cramming more and more electronics into them to improve their survivability.

See, I knew my fellow gamers could shed some light on this! Twisted Evil

Good work gents, informative. Twisted Evil

I have a buddy who goes to more than his fair share of NFL playoff games, and thus has seen flyovers by some pretty cool aircraft. He said nothing came CLOSE to when a B-52 came in low before the AFC Championship Game a couple of years ago...

Boy, I saw a B-2 Stealth Bomber fly over a couple of years ago at the Hydro Boat races in the Tri-Cities in Wa, and man was that impressive! That this was HUGE! Twisted Evil

Poor me. All I ever see here in Florida are TONS and TONS of naval aircraft. Mostly F-14s and F-18s. Oh, and the Blue Angels.

I get to see Prowlers (electronic warfare) mainly, at Whidbey Island NA Station. I actually worked out there for a bit and got to check them out up close, it was pretty cool. Twisted Evil

Back when I used to live in Pensacola I remember using all kinds of naval vessels. The one that stuck about the most and was stationed there for awhile was the "Lady Lexington." I think it went to Texas.

I also got to see all kinds of stuff from the inside of these bases as well. My uncle was a F-14 pilot back in the 80s and 90s. Pretty amazing stuff. My goal nowadays is to see a F-22 and F-35. The 35s are probably easily doable considering where I am.

Yep, B-52s are definetly here to stay, but I thought the B-1s were being phased out.I live next to an Airforce base and usualy just see F-15s and the occasional F-16, but couple months back an F-22 made a couple of low level passes over my house.Anyone know how many F-22s are in service?

Oooooh, B-52's could have a bombing mega-hex attack. Either that or carry more individual bombs then it could ever hope to drop in a game.
