heres a better question:
if you guys know the B-29 isnt coming to the game, why do you still MAKE these threads about them?

Well I made this post months ago just to see some reasons why it's not here and my Co. I don't even know why it's still here. Look at page 115 look for the largest reply by me on that page,that's where mine started.

Cons:
- Took miles to roll on takeoff, 2-3 times the length of current AH runways
- Engines very unreliable for a long time. Could not run full throttle, could not climb at full throttle, or the engines threatened to catch fire. Climbed very slowly and accerated slowly. Higher cruising speeds attained over greater time. Nothing else in AH is modeled with failures. No gun jams or engine failures
- Historically they were too inaccurate when dropping above 30K, so they flew lowerThat was because of the discovery of the jet stream I believe. Otherwise just as accurate as any other American bomber
- Gun stations were operated from bubble domes, so it was possible to be looking the wrong way and have blind spots even if the guns could shoot there.Bonus they have to keep their head on a swivel also.
- 20mm in the tail often removed in the fieldNo field mods in AH... Or are you making a case for them now? If so I want my P-39 running on russian map settings.
- When pressurized at altitude, very susceptible to minor damage which could cause blowouts to that pressurization. (read: I think they'd be weaker than current bombers, structurally)

Sorry K, whats good for everything else will be ok for the B-29.

They did?   
Are you talking about the Tu-95? But that has nothing to do with the B-52. 

More than you think mach... The russians were copying designs of ours as much as possible. This did not mean that the Russian equivalents were exactly alike the American designs all the time and you just pointed that out. the Bear was the ANSWER to the B52 but they stole our space shuttle, they stole the concord, they stole the B29, they now have a Russian version of the F22. theres other models of american designs that were taken by the russians too i just cant remember them all

While we did learn a lot from German equipment that was captured and brought some of the German scientists over to aid in our R&D, but the U.S. had a jet fighter of it's own before the end of the war. 

completely blanked when writing that post

defensive armament: 12 .50 cal MGs plus 1 20mm cannon in remote-controlled turrets vs. B-17 defensive armament: 12 .50 cal MGs with ture American warriors at the controls

Would I be considered a Martyr if I posted something completely inappropriate to get this entire thread locked?  

Only if you want to be suspended from the bulletin board for 30 days.

Hope those of you who got suspended over this, find it was worth it.
