The original contract for it was let in 1941

...

The United States Army Air Corps opened up a design competition for the very long-range bomber on 11 April 1941, for a maximum range of 10,000 miles (16,000 km), an effective combat radius of 4,000 miles (6,400 km) with a 10,000 pound bombload, a cruising speed between 240 and 300 mph (480 km/h), and a service ceiling of 40,000 ft

This means nothing. The fact that they wished for such a plane in 1941 does not make it a WW2 plane. What is relevant is the first flight date and even more the first operational delivery date.

What i mean is, the USAF could today wish for a plane capable of Warp 8 and armed with photon torpedoes, but until such a thing actually takes to the air for the first time (not counting Star Trek series) it is only a wish, it doesn't really exist.

Neither did the B-36 exist in 1941.

I'm not saying it doesn't deserve to be modded - it does, it's an awesome and interesting plane, so huge that makes the B-29 look like a toy - but it is NOT a WW2 plane, not by a long shot.
