Yes, yes it will.

I seriously don't understand why more fighter pilots don't jump on board with the B29? I mean like phatzo said, I'm sure people will love upping a 60 perkish Me163 to blow up a few B29s that cost 2-3 times as much AND that had to most likely fly over an hour to get there. I mean you wanna grief bomber pilots then thats the way to do it.

Maybe some people want to.

I don't even think you'd need a 163 to do it either.  I've seen P-51s, 109s, spits, p-38s, la-7s and a bunch of other fighters that I cant recall the names of, chasing my B-17s all the way up to 37,000 feet.  If they coordinated their attacks at that altitude some of them may have succeeded in actually shooting me down.

You've never seen an La-7 at +32k.......... Just saying.  Might as well have said you saw a 262 up there.

If someone can tell me how to post videos from AH filmviewer, I'll show you the tape.  I didn't say he successfully intercepted me, only that he tried.

[LLogann]

We have a Film's and Screenshots forum you know..........  There may only be 1000 different threads that can help you..........

And that addition...... Now that does make sense.  I've been up there trying to fly that large engine and it just chokes for sure.......

I want to see it just for its historic value and the fact that there is only one perk bomber in the game and its nothing special.  So with that I think the B-29 has every right to be in this game just as much as a P-51 or Me262.  And yeah it'll be better than any other bomber so far but it still won't be invincible.

You're right, it'll only be untouchable... Its ceiling is way beyond any fighter.

you're right. I just looked at the clip and it was a Yak, not an La (still Russian) and he only got up to about 32.5k before turning back (probably cause he couldn't climb that high either)

 and Last I checked their are still at least 6 Fighters that I know of that can make that alt,  The main candidate being the Ta-152 since that's what it was built for.

The main problem with using the Ta 152 as an interceptor is that its radiator goes out if you sneeze in the wrong direction in the cockpit.

[Castle51]

It can climb to 41k, still hold about 380mph and it has enough firepower to take down a bomber of that size.  If you attack smartly with it instead of just flying up into the bomber's six then you should be alright or else if you take a hit from the 20mm tail gun, your radiator is probably gonna be the last thing on your mind.

Did you ever fought above 20k once? Not to mention 20k alt bomber interception.
I would like to see film with last one if you did.

Again, I've tried youtube, Microsoft movie player and even tried E-mailing the clips to a squad mat but still can't get them to play out side of the film viewer.  It keeps saying the file is corrupt or something and never loads right.  I did look at the film and screenshot forum and someone suggested I download something called FRAPS but if anyone else has any other ideas please let me know cause I'm dying to get some of this stuff up.

 So far the highest shoot down I've managed was at 36.8k on a P-38 flown by "Traveler" from the Knights.  Fitting name, he followed me for about an hour till I waxed him.

That's because the .ahf files are special files that allow tons more data to be shared than any kind of actual video file.
You just upload them to a file hosting site (mediafire or what have you) and allow others to download and play with the viewer.
