My B-29 at 33,000 feet kill PT-boats

Why we need a Patch
The only way to kill the (king of naval combat) PT boats is use B-29 at 33,500 feet assign them in your own custom scenario to the Japs.

Why don't you just stop using B-29 for naval attack? Or PT boats at all? If it screws up the game why use it?
I don't use russian ports for my subs because I know they've never been used that way. I don't use pt boats, and i will not use B-29 for Naval combat. It's quite easy to kick Japan's butt without these cheats (or bugs).

The use of B-29 killing at 33,000 was meant as sarcasm about some of the worst bug in the program.

Well one has to wonder about programmers that use a SIGNED 16bit integer to represent an aircraft altitude...... With silliness like that it makes one wonder what other sillieness is afoot.....

Well, you see, they had to leave programming hooks in for the upcoming "Sky Captain" expansion....

OK. But since you are in your own custom scenario, call them the G8N /Renzan or Rita.
