On the bright side, I think it's pretty safe to say that any level bomber that is perked will be used as a level bomber.

-B29 have  2 compression sections if 1 is Damaged and loose pressure plane can fly 30min. over 13k after 30minutes this section should be blackout if plane is still over 13k

Well, B-29 has regular oxygen supply for all crew members in addition to the pressurization and there were also portable oxygen units so that crew could move around with full supply of oxygen for 6-12 minutes at a time. The aircraft wasn't flown pressurized in combat zone for the very reason that damage might cause a rapid depressurization.

You don't run into too many 234 bombers then as everytime I see 'em they are trying to get kills by enticing people to try to get behind them by getting low and slow and in front of you :neener: :salute

Poll was only up for 2 days..............  1% of the people voted so it really doesn't matter much.

I hear we are getting two of them........  The H model and the P38-Shuffle model.  That one like the iPod that shuffles songs, but this one shuffles blender drinks..........

The one thing about the B29 that nobody mentions is the gunnery.  

We would not be getting a CFS.  The B29 in the pacific had a 500 to 1 (roughly) K/D ratio because of the science behind the CFS...............

Our B29's will be nothing like that and to be perfectly honest, aside from the speed and the payload, won't be anything special at all.
