I would like to see the B-29 in AH. It is a unique WWII aircraft and flying from that position would be very different.

We (I) need Ki-84-I-Otsu with 20mm*4 cannons and HA-45-21 engine model if B-29 flies over Aces High.

That and redo the P51D and add a P47N. Then run a scenario where the 51s and 47Ns from Iwo escort the 29s from Tinian and the 84s etc can try and intercept.

Of course some of the 51s and 47s are equipped with rockets and can hit targets on the deck too

Yeah, that would be a required addition. Although, the current Hayate kills B-24s without drama, usually in a single pass.

Hopefully HTC will have fixed the elevator force issue by then.

Many years ago I got to crawl through FiFi, thought it only cost me 10 bucks, was great.

And give P-51D, Spit XIV, Temp, and i dont know if germans have this... on-off option inflight gyro gunsights. Btw, did B-29's gunners have gyro gunsights?

Do you kill them by zoom attack?

BTW I think the B29 won't be an effective bomber (if its perked bomber) for MA, because we already have Me163 and Me262 for intercept.

"Many years ago I got to crawl through FiFi, thought it only cost me 10 bucks, was great"

Did it two years ago for FREE....well, actually I believe I paid like 5 bucks to get into the air museum in Odessa.
FiFi was in the hangar, having some repairs done (3 engines were either dismounted or in some state of repair), I got to check out the B-24, then wandered off.
No one around, (they were busy with the nose wheel on the B-24) so I crawled up and checked her out.
Was great, to actually be inside such a plane.
Was scared to death they were gonna throw me outta the museum if they found me, but I had waited 30 years to be so close to these machines. I figured if they did catch me, it was still worth it.
As an aside.....they had an I-16 there. TINIEST fighter craft I could imagine. More like one of those GeeBee air racers. A fella had to be brave to take to the skies in one of those little dinky birds, IMO.
