Ignoring the part about a nuclear detontation being exceedingly difficult to model in our game, It doesnt make sense on any level.  I feel the B29(with conventional ords) will add a new dynamic to gameplay that we do not currently have.

Of course, the whole point of a Doomsday Machine is lost, if you *keep* it a *secret*! Why didn't you tell the world, EH?

It was to be announced at the Party Congress on Monday. As you know, the Premier loves surprises.

I can tell you exactly what will happen if we get the B-29.  There will be months of outcry on the forums about how the B-29 will ruin the game.  GVers will be predict the end of the known GV fight in tank town as 29's will fly over in great masses and their magic bombs will obliterate everything.  Fighters will worry that every single B-29 will be flying at 40,000 and will take down every field in a single pass killing the fights.  The B-29 will eventually be released and the arena will be flooded with B-29s.  Then in two weeks when the 'new' wears off, the B-29 will settle into it's place in the game.  They will be seen high and low, and they will kill and be killed.  The game with continue and everyone will find something new to whine about.

Many years ago HTC said they were going to add a thing called Combat Trim to the game in order to help new pilots out. Months before the release people cried on the forums, "Arcade Mode" many called it, others said it would be the end of Aces High all together. I remember open letters to Hitech and crew being posted and the constant whines and speculation over what the system would do. In the end Combat Trim was released and after that no one really said anything. Why? Because it wasn't a big deal and didn't change the game like everyone doomed and gloomed about.

I see a correlation between some of the whines of old like combat trim and the introduction of the B29. Like Jayhawk has posted, everyone is saying this is the end and how bad the B29 will be for the game, however, in reality once the new wears off it's just going to be another bomber. Pilots will go back to using Lancstuckas to bomb the lone GV and or CV, B17s / B24s will go back to porking airfields and hangers, and every so often you'll see the B29 come in and blow a bunch of stuff up.

Look on the bright side everyone, maybe HTC will give us both planes and then you can hunt down B29s IN your Me410.  :)

I hope the fire control gets modelled. I'll be gunning B29s for months.
