I will patrol the frontline at very high altitude in a Ta 152, 47M/N or a 262, having a close look at the high altitude fields in the rear area of my enemies.  :airplane:

"After being briefed on the B-29 in the spring of 1944 Tibbets was assigned as a B-29 crew instructor at Grand Island Nebraska but was soon reassigned to advanced B-29 operational testing at Alamogordo New Mexico. It was during this phase of operational tests that Tibbets discovered during a training exercise with a P-47 fighter - almost accidentally - that if a B-29 was stipped of its turrets and armor it could outmaneuver the smaller high-performance aircraft at 30000 feet."

A rather sobering vid of B-29 wreckage in Japan. Bonus, contrails.

its true, 30k up not many people will go up to stop me for one, and those that go up always stay behind the bomber. now imagine 40k up going 300 MPH. the only thing to deal with you is a ME-262, a ME-163, and a TA-152.

If you think you're gonna be able to fly at 40,000ft in a B-29, you need to do some research on the B-29.

No, it's maximum service ceiling wasn't 40,000ft nor was it 35,000ft.

well then 30k, idc really. the problem i see for someone trying to take down the B-29 is trying to keep up with it after it drops its bombs, you guys say it will hit 350MPH, well if you wanna take one down get to alt before it gets to its target, and for me strats arnt much of a target. ill hit towns with it. ill have already dropped my bombs and been turned around by the time someone comes up to get me. leveled out, and in the gunners position all the way out of enemy territory, watching 360 degrees.
