I thought since we have planes like the 163 , which were rarely even used , and the plane that ended the war , which was often used , we should have it.

The 163's were actually quite commonly used for the time they were in the war, and the reason we don't have the b-29 is it would drastically throw off plane balance...
It could soar higher than most planes we have in the plane set, amazing range, brilliant bomb load, etc...

Plus, the b-29 did NOT win the war...
The Japanese emperor later said 'The nuke did not lose us the war, it just helped me make up my mind'
The nukes did no more damage than a standard Napalm bombing run, it just packed into a MUCH smaller area  :)

As a bomber pilot myself, I'm glad the b-29 is NOT in the game, the b-24 is uber enough for me  :aok

WD-40. If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.

You don't have to be carrying an Atomic Bomb to experience the B-29's brilliance. With it's payload and defenses it will always be one of the better bombers to have ever flown. It would be nice to have another 'eavy bomber in the game but the A-Bomb should not be included. Think about it this way, if they added our

It would be nice to have another 'eavy bomber in the game but the A-Bomb should not be included. Think about it this way, if they added our (USA) secret weaponNot any more then they will need to start adding secret weapons from all of the countries. and that would be a large waiste of resources.

B-29 defense and Payload
Guns:

8 to 10× .50 in (12.7 mm) caliber Browning M2/ANs in remote controlled turrets
2 x .50 in and 1× 20 mm M2 cannon in tail position (the cannon was eventually removed as it proved unreliable in service )

B-29B-BW - All armament and sighting equipment removed except for tail position; initially 2 x .50 in M2/AN and 1× 20 mm M2 cannon, later 3 x 2 x .50 in M2/AN with APG-15 gun-laying radar fitted as standard.

PayLoad:

Bombs: 20,000 lb (9,000 kg) standard loadout, could be modified to externally carry two 22,000 lb (10,000 kg) T-14 "Earthquake" bombs

I agree that the fluffy bunnies should be added to aces high.  The carrot should be a high perk though because a formation of fluffy bunnies dropping carrots on fields would just not be much fun at all.

Well thats dumb , because this game is about world war 2 simulation and we had 22,000 pound lanc bombs and we had the atom bomb.

You could always find another game to play?   Calling HTC's ideologies "dumb" is kind of arrogant and crass, especially for a shades account.

Pfft, that B-29 is so unrealistic.  My animated pic is much better.
