not really
J gets rid of most of the defensive armament so we need the H variant that still has all the defensive guns and has the jet engines

That’s the Featherweight III mod of the J. 18 were produced as Featherweights while 15 had full armament until later refits to Featherweight III standard. So there could still be a normal J though its production numbers were dwarfed by the H. But also it’s the last model which is pretty interesting.
Add all B-36 and what will the perfect BR be?
“Removing east”
Depends on whether or not current bombers get BR adjustments.
Ideally I’d say 7.7 (B-36B), 8.3 (B-36D), and 8.7 (B-36H or J)
But such BRs are reliant on first other bomber aircraft, particularly the Tu-4, going down first (Tu-4 to 7.0 for example)
Every other suggestion got suggested more earlier than this got passed to the dev what happen to this one?

Just add bosters
+1 folderd with the other peacemakers
I just started the bombers and I love how the feel and how they fly, it would be amazing to see the Peacemaker fly over the battlefield.

How on earth this has not been passed to the developers yet with 444 votes at 97% approval, I do not know. Hopefully if we keep this thread active, they will notice and finally us Bomber Mains can get hope for this to arrive.
I am still waiting for the Washington B.1 to come into the game since 2013 when it was first proposed (2014 passed for suggestion before the Tu-4 would be considered, but somehow was never added).
We really need the B36, whilst playing sim battles in the B-29 the team and I all also were in agreement that a B36 would be fantastic, it looks really cool, its massive and it has a big payload; what is not to like? Also I agree with the sentiment that we need more actual bombers and not strike aircraft. It adds a good variety to the game. I am also just waiting for Gaijn to add it in because there is certainly demand for it.

A good video about the armament systems.

The thread must be kept active if we wish to see this plane in game, also gotta say that is a fantastic video about the gun system. If this plane is added it may actually stand a chance in the current META given that it uses the same aim system but instead of 50 cal it uses 20mm cannons. I am aware that a lot of other bombers have larger caliber defensive armaments but the B-29 is pretty accurate for a bomber so that in combination with the larger caliber may actually make it survivable.
Gajin please, strategic cold war bombers in general are long overdue.

Its sad this monster is not in game. Even though early jets will slice you in two all the 20mm and if we get fire control computers early jets might have a hard time.

Once again unfortunate it’s this trainer variant that gets attention and not the actual first bomber variant the B-36B
(Identical except actually fully armed)

we can pretend all the broom sticks pretending to be cannons to be real in our heads. Each time a plane flys close you yell boom boom bang bang ra ta ta ta! And, if your lucky they will freakout and fly away.
i joined the game for stuff like the he-111 and b-17
and then the bomber nerf came like right after i joined so i never got to enjoy them
I do also want a fully armed B36 but they could add a couple variants, the B36 had a fair number of variants they could add
I think you misunderstand- the B-36A had no live weapons at all. It was only used for conversion training. The B-36B is the functionally the actual first variant. Which I will once again nudge people to go support the excellent suggestion for because it has a wholehearted +1 from me!
Sorry, I am aware that the A was a training variant, by multiple variants I was refering to the addition of the B-36H, which had its full armament but upgraded sensors, the four jet engines amongst a host of improvements. The other variant they could potentially add though I personally don’t like as much is the J variant which had its armament stripped apart from the tail gun, sorry for the confusion
