It regularly takes several osti hits and keeps going (barring a hit to the pilot).

I heard it will be added in about 2 weeks!

And the answer for the 10,000 time is still NO. If you want the superfortress, There was a whole game made just for it. Maybe next time actually READ the forums before posting requests that have been made 10k times before.

I dont care if you've played for years, Its obvious that you never through to read before posting, thereby YOU are a noob. Its OK, Everyone starts there sometime.

Perhaps I'm insane, but I had an idea.  And perhaps this has been raised before, but since I'm new to the game (4 months in) I thought I'd ask it anyway.

Why not add a B29 model to the game in the LW arenas?

I had some thoughts to see if I could suggest ways to make it viable.

1) It would be heavily perked, of course, higher than the ME262.
2) Perhaps we could add a series of "cities" to the games that have no military significance, except maybe as a percentage of the foe's health.  Sprinkle these cities liberally throughout the maps.
3) The Nuke's load out would be perked, too.
4) If a B29 is shot down on takeoff, the nuke goes off, taking out a portion of the friendly base, i.e. VH's, BH's, or similar.
5) By incorporating B29's, it would motivate fights to happen at higher altitudes. A good chunk of these fights stay down low, mitigating the effectiveness of many planes in the game.
6) Perhaps save the B29's for Special Events' scenarios, would be an alternative.
7) I'm not sure if we should allow Nukes to be dropped on airfields, vehicle bases, etc.
8) If a B29 is shot down in the air, it takes out its whole flight.
9) Alternatively, to maintain realism, the bomb could only be armed at say a certain altitude, or have to fall a certain distance to be armed which should weed out the guys who feel compelled to drop it at 5K feet to "see what would happen".
10) At the very least, a B29 with fire bombs would be cool, again, assuming cities were added to the game.

Perhaps I'm being greedy, lusting after a wild scenario, but I sure would like to know how others feel on the topic.

Your thoughts?

B29, yes!  Nuke, no!  Make 25K min alt for bomb bays to open or some such similar arrangement.
