With the complexity of the new models I doubt that flyable heavy bombers will be available for a very long time.

I'd guess at least 2 years to build one.

I'd love me some heavies but they would take too long to complete with such damage model detail.

I bet we will get some once the elusive SDK is released. I could see some 3rd party devs selling a heavy.

[Tavingon]

I'M guessing a few will be in game even if as unflyable.

You are not the only 1 who saw this plane for the first time here...:)

Oh goodie a bunch of planes that had no impact on the war.

:rolleyes:

The B29 design predates the Amerika bomber by a little bit.

From Wiki...

Boeing submitted its Model 345 on 11 May 1940,[5] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_B-29_Superfortress#cite_note-Bowers_Boeing_p319-4) in competition with designs from Consolidated Aircraft (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consolidated_Aircraft) (the Model 33, later to become the B-32 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consolidated_B-32_Dominator)),[6] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_B-29_Superfortress#cite_note-Wegg_p91-5) Lockheed (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_Corporation) (the Lockheed XB-30 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_XB-30)),[7] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_B-29_Superfortress#cite_note-XB-30-6) and Douglas (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_Aircraft_Company) (the Douglas XB-31 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_XB-31)).[8] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_B-29_Superfortress#cite_note-frnc_Doug_p713-7) Douglas and Lockheed soon abandoned work on their projects, but Boeing received an order for two flying prototypes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prototype), given the designation XB-29, and an airframe for static testing on 24 August 1940, with the order being revised to add a third flying aircraft on 14 December. Consolidated continued to work on its Model 33 as it was seen by the Air Corps as a backup in case of problems with Boeing's design.[9] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_B-29_Superfortress#cite_note-iapr22_p138-8) An initial production order for 14 service test aircraft and 250 production bombers was placed in May 1941,[10] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_B-29_Superfortress#cite_note-Knaack_p480-9) this being increased to 500 aircraft in January 1942

Another surprise, I had no idea the B-29 was such an early concept.

[ElAurens]

It has been said that, at least for the USAAF, every plane they fought the war with was designed before our entry into the war. I'm sure there is an exception, but still, when you look at the Army single seaters they all were pre war (well, pre Dec. 7 1941) designs.

Yes PLEASE! this is for our Wot-IF scenario. Wever didn't die and created his ural bomber fleet which causes devistation @ long range!
