At least Xilon isn't trying to project history backwards from the present agenda of some crackpot quasi-religious cult, like some on this thread.
Xilon, I'll accept the A-Bomb - equipped B-29 takeoffs were dangerous (though from the point of view of the crew, possibly less dangerous than a conventionally-armed bomber), but the rest of the historical mission would be downright boring. If you want to simulate the missions, buy yourself a copy of FSX, start your B-29 (or any suitable substitute) from half way down the Tinian runway to simulate the dangers of takeoff, then fly to Japan and back. This will be no less realistic than a proper simulation done in IL-2 or SoW.
