And it will continue to be requested. Animated drawings which denigrate both gv's and bombers do nothing but show disrespect for anyone not in the cockpit of a fighter. As this is a war simulation and not a fighter simulation, it also shows a profound ignorance of the purpose of the game.
Around 3,000 B-29's were produced by the end or WWII. Bombing raids used a great number of these bombers to do such things as night time fire bombings of Japan. In at least one mission up to 1,000 B-29's were used. Two nuclear bombs were dropped by B-29's. Only two. Having the B-29 would not mean having nuclear bombs. If we did have a nuclear bomb option, it would have to be perked to an unbelievable level. So high it would not be commonly used at all. Choose the nuclear option for a bomb and you lose the perks when you drop the bomb.
While the B-29 was a late addition to WWII, if added, it would hardly be the only such addition. Many of the fighter aircraft in AH2 were late additions to WWII.
The greatest opposition to the B-29 being introduced to the game is its formidable nature. Two ventral turrets each with twin .50 caliber machine guns. Two dorsal turrets, one with twin 50's and the other with a quad .50 caliber setup. The tail gunnery position sported a twin 50 and a 20mm cannon. Add to this a payload capacity of 20,000 pounds and you have something to worry about. Not something that does not have a place in this game.
