Well, don't forget about the FG 42, the Kar. 43 and Stg 44.

The designs were there, they were just not fielded in large enough numbers.

Besides as Bewolf already pointed out the HE111, Do17 and JU 87 are pre war designs (o.k. so is the B17) but comparing them to the B29 is a bit unfair isn't it? Btw. the He111 and Do 17 were designed for accuracy not for spreading tons of bombs from 30,000+ feet.
