Who said we get to vote for planes to be added? HTC did that once and it was a very restricted list of planes you could vote on, and no the B29 wasn't on the list. If you hang around for 10-25 years you might see it added, but not any time soon. There are far to many other planes to be added first.

What makes you think that there are other AC that need to be added first?  However, I agree, it will be a while before we get it.

Before we ever get this plane we need to get more important planes first.

And after that we need to pad the planeset with planes that are able to destroy the 29.

A couple more jets, The Do. 335, and the F8F could do the trick.

Gotta balance everything out.

And perk it at 200.

Please, tell me what jets other than the Meteor. F8F was post war IIRC.

I am chewi and I say you cannot use the search function provided in this forum.
:rofl

  If we get it or not, that's fine with me.  I may take it out for a spin, but I'll be in my main ride, the mighty B-17.  :airplane:
errr that is, whenever I get back to playing online.  :uhoh

What jets do we need to take it out?  Nakajima Ki-201 was the Me 262 version but none produced. 
Mitsubishi J8M was the Japs version of the Me 163.  They knew that the B-29 was going to be a issue so they needed something that can up fast and clime high in short time.  Only 7 built none saw action. 

There are some IJ AC that we have that took on the on the B-29.  Ki-84 but not sure which model. Kawasaki Ki-100 was the best AC that IJ had that showed good qualities against the B-29.  Armed with 2 x 20mm and 2x 12.5 mm,  great speed at high alt. but only 395 where built.  It was equal the the P-51, La7 and Ki-84.        , 
But for the most part, the Zero was the most produced AC the jap build and counter the B-29. Not sure the A6M6 had the ability to take on the B-29, A6M7 was designed for Kamikaze and A6M8 only had two prototype that could have been the most advanced AC for them.

Other IJ that was design to take on the B-29 not never saw action:
Nakajima Ki-87: had the ability to counter the B-29 with 2 x 30-mm.  Only one build.
Rikugun Ki-93: was a twin eng, armed with 1× 57 mm Ho-401 cannon in ventral gondola and 2× 20 mm Ho-5 cannon in wing roots.  Only 2 produced.
The Ki-94: was designed as a high alt fighter to counter the B-29, but only one was produced at the end of the war.
Kyūshū J7W: a navy base AC that, i must say, advance design for its time.  armed with 4 30mm cannon, max speed of +450, but only 2 build.

I'm talking WAY later in the game.

At a point where hitech decides to add experimental planes to the mix.

Years from now.

But right now we need early war planes.

Its gonna be a while untill we pad the planeset enough to have a necessity for experimental aircraft.

And not experimental per say but flown prototypes. Not the late war Nazi-Nuclear powered-space planes.

What are the statistics on that thing? speed? altitude? Bomb Load?
You get it after 3 years of playing right?

Seriously stealth, spend more time learning how to write at least at a literate level.
