I would EXTREMELY love to have the B-29 in this game almost more than any other plane in WW2s entire history. Mostly because my grandfather was a pilot of the Superfortress and was a trainer for many WW2 pilots both before and after the war. He was in the 330th Bomb Group
http://home.att.net/~sallyann4/330-1.html and was based in Tinnian during the war. He ran about 20 sortes/missions total..... early in the war the planes were armed with 40 500lbs bombs and later All incendiary munitions. He is 92 years old and I would love to someday show him in this game the plane he flew for this country for so many tours.
I fully understand it's very hard to model this enormus plane and takes alot of time and energy. I'm not one of the people that takes for granted all the new aspects of this great game. I always have had a major ammount of respect for how the planes are so accurately modeled.
But It's clear that there are some major reasons that the crew at HTC for now does not want this plane in the game. Weather its that the runways are not realistically long enough for the B29s slow takeoffs and long landings, or some hangers and other buildings allong the runways are in the way of the wing tips? I'm not sure.. maybe it's more allong the lines that it's just a massive project to tackle? Mr hitech would you mind tellin' me/us something about your opinion on it please?
Lastly.... My opinion on the nuke is simply that it would not be realistic to have it, one bomb would totally destroy one full base and town. Unless!! it was somehow a 300-600+ PERKpoint bomb, that would be one way of chewing up some bomber perks allong with the cost of the B29 itself.
