Yes, but it can't climb that high with a full bomb load, as pointed out in another thread (I think, it might be in this one, but while back). And unless it has a higher celing than any other plane then its not unstopable. Its just difficult, same as with the 262.
And unless I completly forgot what the 262's speed at its max alt, then 400 wouldn't be enough to outrun it, and, again unless i forgot what the A/C's top speed was, the B-29's speed was below 400.

a 262 top speed drops very quickly the higher you go, says 400 but actually its more like 150 up round 30k. B17s go faster than me

OK, I've never taken a 262 up that high. I assumed it was the same as the charts showed.

It is nice to see so many intimidated by one plane, Historicaly its a good bomber, but it leads to the a bomb? Only in the end my friends, Sounds like fighter jocks, don't want competition for scores. or perhaps they fear the reaper?

The best known bomber of WWII is the B-17 followed closely by the He-111 or Stuka depending on where you live.

I just had to make that little fact known.  :aok

Lancaster and Halifax are better known here.  :uhoh
Here we are, living on top of a molten ball of rock, spinning around at a 1,000mph, orbiting a nuclear fireball and whizzing through space at half-a-million miles per hour. Most of us believe in super-beings which for some reason need to be praised for setting this up. This, apparently, is normal.

Possibly its not in here because it flys 350mph with 20,000lb of bombs. Three boxes of B29, 180,000lbs of bombs. Call the goon in after one pass over a base. Kinda like the A26 Invader can do 370mph at sea level and pull turns with fighters with more 50.cal than god in the nose.
