HITECH has stated on several ocasions that he will not put the B-29 in game.  So stop asking for IT. PERIOD!!!!!!!!

HiTech has never said the B-29 will not be put in AH that I have seen.  In fact, it was an example of what the perk system was for.

HiTech has said there will never be a bomb heavier than the 4,000lb in AH now, so no nuke.

That is all fine by me too.

I don't care to much for the nuke, because all the stat padders will just keep nuking tank town for points.

So no "Tallboy" or "Grandslam" ?  BOOOOOOOOOO
Doesn't rule out a "Cookie" though  YAAAAAAAAAY

Yes HITECH has stated that the 4000Lb "Cookie" will be the biggest bomb.  I also believe that they are having trouble trying to figure out how to code the remote fire control system on the B-29.  They will not code the B-29 untill they can work out how to implement the remote fire control system, and I believe that is not even on a "back burner" for the forseeable future.  

I will make a prediction tho:  The B-29 will take as long to develop and code as the CT, but will not be started untill after CT comes out,  AND the Pacific planeset is filled out.  

Four years after the implementation of CT. In other words Permanant "TWO WEEKS".

The 4,000lb in AH is a 'Cookie'.

Iron_Cross,

I wouldn't expect to see a B-29 anytime soon either.

Yup, I was thinking in regards to the Mossie though, not the Lanc, I should have been more specific.

Why do you have to code anything special for the b-29 gun turrets?
The guns on our current buffs are practically autoaim already hell most of the turrets turn and fire in reaction to the users command already as a matter of fact I would argue that the b-29's turret views would be easier to make than any other bombers. this is why.
Instead of a graphic associated /w the gunners position all you would need is a set of crosshairs and the exterior veiw of the bomber minus the bomber. thereby simulating the effect of looking closely thru a tv screen or sight.  
The question is rather one of priority's how do we who want the B-29 convince HTC that it should be a higher priority... when you can answer that question you will have your B-29.

[VooWho]

Yea just like what skycaptn said. The turrets don't have to be special. If there remote, y not just make it to where u hit key 3 switch to the top turret, and u see like a GV circle with a crosshair on it. Its so simple. It just like the usually B17, B24 turrets, just not in a class bubble, instead just pops up a screen that looks like video camera with the cross hairs. If your confused let me try this. Imagine you are gunning in a B-17 like the top turret. When you press your botton to hop into that gunner posistion you see 2 .50cals, a crosshair, and glass all around you. Will take the current turrets we have, cover the class all black, hide the .50cals, and add a tv screen with a cross hair on it, and you have your remote turret. That simple.

I'll tell you guys what. I've been trying to ease off being a smart *** on these boards. But when I see post like this, it's very hard to do. It's like an inner instinct in me. But I shall resist the urge a simply say, good luck with your request.

Listen the remote firing guns in a B-29 was a complex system that took into efect the speed of the aircraft, the angle the sights were pointed, the distance the targeted aircraft was at, and various other factors witch computed lead and put the bullets on the attacking plane.  

There was no TV gudance, you had guners in the bubbles looking through sights witch sent signals to an early computer, and the computer did its calculations pointed the turrets and fired the guns when the gunner pressed the trigger.  The only gun(S) in the B-29 that were not hooked up to the computer were the tail guns, operated by the lone gunner in the tail.  Twin .50s, a single 20mm, or a broomstick with a beer can stuck on the end painted black like some giant flash suppressor.  

That last one was used to great efect.  Japanese pilots were seen keeping a respectfull distance from that fearsome looking thing.

I think most of us are aware of the system that was in place to opperate the turrets in the b-29's the point of my post however was to point out that for the purposes of flying little pixelated aircraft thru the sky in a simulator its not required to have a fancy setup.. I dont think the people at HTC lack the imagination to cercumvent this problem.  I would rather consider it a lower priority.  The objective to those who really really want the B-29 is simply this... Find out how to make it a priority of HTC.. all companys rely on income from their consumers thereby feedback from consumers should get their attention.  If those who desire the B-29 badly enough get HTC's attention and they make up a large enough number of the general "income population" there should be some feedback.
Goodluck bomber boys
