re: #217 Expand Your Ground

As i recall, the B-29 was also way over budget and delayed.

A-series motor overheating. That’s pretty much the mark of any system that is a radical game-changer. Virtually everything introduced since the M16 has had serious problems not fixed until fielding. That splits the user community and creates a semi-permanent legend of worthlessness. See Abrams, Osprey. Some systems (M151 jeep, Gamma Goat, Goer) deserve their permanent reputations.
