New planes requests (from other threads/please pin it)

B-29A is in game? I thought it was standard B-29, because it can easy lose it's wing during intercepting like B-29, B-29A had strenghtened and redesigned wing which are a lot stronger and endure. In the other hand, in-game model has four .50 HMGs in top-front turret, like B-29A. So, which plane is in game?

Technically, the game just calls the B-29 in the game the "B-29", so you're right.

B-29s were extensively modified as soon as they came off the production lines, or were modified in the field, so the 4-gun top turret could represent a later block of B-29 production.

One of the small changes to IL2 which might be easy to implement, would be to give more detailed model information for some of the US planes. For example, what exact model and production block is the P-47 originally released in Forgotten Battles, or the B-29 originally released with Pacific Fighters?

Great idea!
