here is a dumb question only vaguely on point, why is the 163 field limited? to the best of my knowledge it does not need a longer or better air field from which to launch from, so why restrict it to just one base?
lets start with a little honesty, personally i didn't vote for the B-29 and i personally think it is a ridiculous and absurd decision to even consider putting it in the game while there are so many other glaringly gaping holes in the plane/vehicle line up. i feel that the B-29 shall prove itself to be an albatross strung around the necks of those who play in the LWA's. just one example of this will be that someone will up the bird with full fuel and bombs, climb to the heavens, go to the enemy capital that is suffering from the highest ENY and because of our laser guided smart bombs will with the minimum amount of ord needed, drop first the FH for the 163 and then put down DAR. they will then sit on station and maintain this DAR black out for what, if done properly, could be hours. now doesn't that just sound like soooooooo much fun? people get all touchy and mad about the DAR failing to work properly in some areas cause they cant see the enemy for a few minutes, imagine how much you'll enjoy flying completely blind for half the day. although maybe I'm wrong about that, half the people in the MA's seem to go out of their way to avoid a fight as it is, so flying against a blind enemy will be heaven for them. endless hours of porking undefended bases......they must be wetting their pants with anticipation!
now if you think they wont do something this dweebish, think about the disappearing CV groups that someone spends hours sailing to the farthest corners of the earth.
now back to my point, if it is restricted based solely on the unique type of aircraft it is then i say yes the B-29 should get the same treatment and be restricted to the same locations as the 163. if it is because the 163 has some special needs that must be accommodated then i say that every field prepared for the B-29's unique needs should also be modified to accommodate the 163. finally if the B-29 is given full run of the shop as it were, i.e. launchable from every base, then the 163 should have its hands untied and be given the same lack of restrictions.
my point is this, the 163 and 262 are going to be the best defence against the B-29, but they will also be the greatest escorts for the B-29. they should be on station and launchable from anywhere the B-29 is allowed to, or the B-29 should suffer under the same restrictions as the 163.
this will not put and end to all the potential dweebery i forsee, but at least if the 163 threat cant be put down and kept down by one formation all at once then maybe the dweebery wont be as fun and easy for just one or two people to pull off.
just my thoughts on the issue.
