Hello Panos,
As HTC said the B29 will go into the next available production slot. It's not even being worked on at this point if I understand the wording correctly. The next update will for sure contain the Betty, who knows what else we got coming? I for one am quite excited. Every new toy is appreciated! As far as the game promoting ACM and fighter tactics, I have never seen this description used by HTC. This game promotes combat with WW II fighters, bombers & vehicles.

Waystin,
First of all have no objection about the game definition, nor I want to open a new one, though I may start it. B29 is new toy and I will enjoy also. I’m not against 29. All I’m saying is that we have to keep some kind of balance as it concern new projects.
Aerial combat was what dragged me into the game in the first place and not bombers. I respect people who fly bombers, I fly my self also. I just ask for more fighter options. Despite what Lusche says about “bombers were the core of the air war” allow me to insist saying that “fighters were the main «tool» of the air war”.
That is all. My second argument is about the poll itself.
I don’t think it is fair for anyone having mixed up in a poll fighters and bombers. Sound more logical to me in a future situation where HTC staff wants us to decide which plane will be in the next production slot to create three different categories: bombers, fighter-bombers and fighters.
It is not the best thing to have to choose between WWII era planes, with different mission profile and different main characteristics. Having to choose between a B29 and a Ki 43 is not what common logic dictates. Having to choose between Betty, He 111 and B29, in one category and between a Ki 43, a Yak 3 or a G55 etc in an another one sounds more balanced.
