Soulyss just because you can't get your P38 off the runway doesn't mean everyone else has to suffer.  ;)

Hek I can take a lancaster off a carrier full load, I will get a b-29 off a runway :D

How in the world can you launch a lancaster off a CV without clipping its wings on the command tower?  I do not think you will be able to do the same on the B-29, wingspan 141 ft 3 in.  lancaster wingspan 102 ft.

You can launch a lanc off the cv in game. Your wheels come very close to the edge of the flatdeck.

You can even rearm on the cv.

Yes it is ummm gamey.

Well you may be right. I have not tried it in a long time.

The last time the 80th did any kind of flight work based around a cv it was landing 163s on it. One who shall remain unnamed actually landed going in the wrong direction.

Who'd a thunk.  :rofl

The longest diagonal runways in AH are just under 7,400 ft in length and the sea level take off run of a fully loaded B-29 was 8,000 ft. However I can't see why anyone would load more than 25%-50% fuel in a B-29 in the MA so it shouldn't be a problem. Maybe HTC could just disable higher fuel loads in the B-29 the MA. For scenarios needing full fuel a special airbase could be built fairly easily.

Personally I'd think it even funnier if we got the version of the B-29 with all the turrets removed......  :devil

Naw, leave the full fuel loads and let people find out the hard way.... :salute
