It's not that I don't think it could be useful...but with the maps in cycle now, it's not useful. Why the AR234 is in when the HE111 and DO17z are missing is beyond me but...if you have that many bomber perks to use up, grab the AR234. Adding another long range high alt bomber to the existing set is akin to having 2 rectums...it's just more crap.
And in case you haven't noticed...there are a lot of "wishlist" threads about planes that are more important overall to the AH war than the B-29.
Oh really...so B-24J, B-17G and Lancaster all with massive bomb load capacities, high alt capability, and very long range... as well as the AR234 perk bomber...makes the plane set weak? The only weakness is the players who either don't know how or don't have the patience to use the to their advantages...and the B-29 isn't going to make that aspect any better.
Sorry, I forgot to mention part of my point
The Ar-234 actually
isn't that useful - yes, it's very fast, but it has an
extremely limited bomb load - it can only take three bombs, for a total of 1,500kg (or about 3300 lbs). By contrast, the A-26 could take almost twice that bombload (6000 lbs), it had a huge number of nose mounted .50s (up to 16 of them!), and is still very fast at 355 mph (according to Wikipedia
). This means that it would be capable of ground attack, high altitude level bombing, dive bombing, NOE runs etc etc. This is a FAR greater capability and flexibility than either the Ar-234 or the B-29 (both of which are effectively limited to level bombing, unless you have a slightly suicidal pilot lol).
The fact that the A-26 would be SO flexible and so capable at all those roles means it would probably see high usage in the MAs, and thus fill the role for a much-needed USEFUL perked bomber.
