I've got one other concern: B29 is way cool, but its performance and capacity so far outdo every other platform in the game that I'm afraid the play balance could be thrown off.
I mean, a trio of those with a capable gunner could take down all hangars at even a couple fields with no problem -- and be terribly hard for the average buff killer to neutralize. Altitide, speed, guns, capacity all would puch the limits of countermeasure capability.
While vets with good technique could probably handle attacking the Superfortress OK, those vets tend not to buff hunt as much as look for a good fighter v fighter combat -- es[pecially if the buff hunt involves long climb before engagement even possible.
The B29 has the potential to radically change the MA environment, shifting the balance toward buffs at the expense of other play styles. We ought to be very careful what we wish for.
