anyways i say add it so ppl will stop asking for it. oh from the last forum it dosnt require a 2 mile runway on saipan and tinian the runways were a quarter to about half that it does not car 24,000lb only 20,000 so it would cary about 20 1000lb bombs and its a very famous aircratf just dont add the later modle witch had the underwing bomb racks and could cary 28,000lbs

Just FYI the runways used were required to be 10000 feet and while thats 560 feet short of two miles thats not enough to quibble about considering that Saipan (Afetna) Tinian (Sunharon) Guam (Asatdas) and Iwo (Kadena) were all 10000 feet with another 10000 feet of CLEARED AND LEVEL LAND at both ends of the runway (or water as the case may be). There are plenty of books on the matter and you might enjoy reading a little bit about the subject.

Once again i will say, before the B-29 gets added, the bomber hangers will have to be made larger...
When that happens, you will know that that particular plane is'nt far away... :aok

Sure, perk the hell out of it but it was a major part of the pacific war. I have tons of bomber perk points but what are you going to spend them on? 234? big deal. I have almost as much range as a 234 by flapping my arms. A B-29 would be a HUGE addition.

Man i just wish I could be cool like stroker. Not everyone has seen this request before. Some of us are relative newcomers to the game, although I don't recall mentioning this as an ORIGINAL AND EXCITING idea. But I would certainly think the more often a request goes up on the board the better chance it gets honored. But hey, maybe I'm wrong. Why don't you let me know stroker, I REALLY appreciate your sterling input.

Now children let's all settle down.

Hodag, no offense, but this has been wished for many times.  I agree though the more it is wished for there is possibly a higher chance of getting it, or annoying HTC who knows.  I also know that many will simply say "Search", gotta say took me till about a month ago to even know about that existed.  You'll get use to the mentality of these people sooner or later, or go crazy like some of us. :uhoh  Now calm down.

Stroker, go easy on him we were all new once, even you.  You are still new too, duh. :P  This is a wishlist forum afterall. :D
