fly it at 35-40k and about your gunner postition well  practice it. it takes time to get used to it.

B-29 can't fly between 35,000ft and 40,000ft.  if you're going to give advice, please make sure it's correct.

I know it it better to get to 35 K ...like I said there wasn't time. The gunner views in the B-29 have a poorer view than other buffs in the game...and yes I'll have to get used to it...........

My B-29 had no problems getting to 35k. And that doesn't surprise me, as it's totally in line with the data on the RL charts you posted a few months ago.

the problem you will have especialy if your used to flying B-17s and 24s, is it has no downward fireing positions. yes you can shoot down. but not directly downward. so you will be vulnerable to a belly strafe.

let this be a Top Tip. if your new to the game or if you dont know if the B-29s gunners is very good. come in from below and saw at it from the belly.

Coming in for landing (Forgot to SS drop - enemy planes were up)

I found out you can't do like a B17 and lower the gear almost last minute


another angle

Like, ya know, when that thing that makes you move, it has pistons and things, When your thingamajigy is providing power, you do not hear other peoples thingamajig when they are providing power.

The approach

The firing of the A2A rockets

The resulting, beautiful image :D
(Image removed from quote.)

The perks I got for shooting down ONE B29 in a 190A8 with A2A rockets, from a dead 6, getting fired upon, living to tell the story, running home due to fuel only to get chased by a 109, run out of gas, come across a friendly town at 44, 109 takes a flak hit to his oil, friendlies swoop in to save the day and me coast in on my wheels on the runway:D

How far were you when you fired that rocket?

Thanks for the screen shots Marine :)

Excellent job!

Question for you....you mentioned that you cant drop the gear at the last second like in a B17.....  What would be the parameters to drop the gear to ensure that your formation drones land on the runway?
