Here's for you panzer...
B-29 general specifications:
Empty weight: 74,500 lb (33,800 kg)
Loaded weight: 120,000 lb (54,000 kg)
Max takeoff weight: 133,500 lb (60,560 kg)
Now pardon my french, but how the H*LL are you going to fit a 50000kg bomb in the aircraft?
now BEM (Basic Empty Mass) is 33,8 ton, add 50 ton you're at 83,8 ton.
With max takeoff weight being 60560 kg, you're 23240kg above max takeoff weight, and that's
excluding the fuel required to fly.... I repeat, that's
NO FUEL
23240 kg overloaded, meaning you're at 138% MTOW (Max TakeOff Weight)
Good luck is all I have to say...
Oh and to return to the topic at hand, it will not be added into the current roster, but seeing as we now have the capabilities (not myself) to add planes into the game to some degree, I would like to see them in, sure, but strictly for coops and offline play.
p.s. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
p.p.s yeah excessive exclamation marks are unneccesary and irritating.

I have created such a bomb.. but its so big that it will lock your game up, and or blow up the whole map. The Fab-5000 in a new b-29 would be Fine and its easy, but it would need more power.
If we are going to make a new b-29 with 1 nuke onboard.
Ither Littleboy or Fatman. It will need a good effect, Yellow,red, Orange. A shockwave. Ect.

Personally I am rather keen on the idea of a Silverplate + Nuke, but Hellzone you have great point with toning such a device - kinda like the Russians did with the Tsar Bomba...
Perhaps an mildly increased Fab-5000 as a independant weapon...? Perhaps back to the original standards it was before the Oleg-Down-Tune?

Or just model the historic Grand Slam conventional bomb instead of a nuke and add this to the new 'nuclear' B-29?
It had almost the double the power of FAB-5000.

I have heard of your creation, but I refrained from mentioning if in the public section because I didn't know how you'd feel about people knowing that you did that
We don't really need the explosion to be so devastating, we just need the bigger plume... and a better looking one I might add...
