Why B-29s have no incendiary bombs in game?

This game quite literally has nuclear weapons

LOL ;)
place holder text cause it wont let me post this otherwise

A city

It was not a warcrime until 1977.

I doubt that.

We dont have infantry targets yet and even airfield and bases could reasonably be considered as taking out infastructure and not people. A city would be purely a civilian target and probably not the best image for War Thunder. Id guess something like a large factory or military base would be more likely.

Don’t forget that the US also have license built version called T-14 and that the B29 can carry 2 of them.

Lol, that is crazy.

… I have to have this…

There is also the VB-1 & -2, -3 & -4 and -13 MACLOS post release guidance kits for a number of US Bomber Airframes

These systems comprise the Azon (1000lb & 2000lb Warhead options), Razon (1000lb & 2000lb Warhead options) and Tarzon ( a 12000lb Tallboy fitted with a scaled up variant of the the Razon Guidance Kit)

That are missing, even though they are rough counterparts to the Fritz-X.

Also as an example the B-29 in question could carry the M69 incendiary ( a ~6lb bomblets ) in a staggering number of configurations (this also includes alternate fill material and either timed release (referenced as “aimable clusters” bomb configuration; as in the video below), or directly dispensed from adapters that remained in the bomb bay of the airframe and so released directly into the airstream to be carried by the wind), but relevant to the topic is the AN/M-69 & AN/M-69X (the later trades swaps out the mix to include some HE to allow for some level of Anti-personnel performance). Of which the B-29 could carry 40 x 500lb class dispensers, totaling 1520 submunitions.

Mate the B-29 fights at 7.3, possibly evening seeing early cold war Jet’s. Even if it got to the range of a base, its probably going to get shot down by then.

In War, it does not exist, that is after the war ends. If you win that is. If you lose, well…ill let you figure out the results.
