A 20mm round will easily set alight the B29, the 152 is great at taking them down.

Isn't that a bug?    You might wanna try the chog, if the 152's not especially your thing (handling quirks and worse ballistics).  It's more rugged and has better guns.

 I actually enjoy the 152, i don't think it's a bug either. IRL they caught fire fairly easily

Hmm..  If it's not a bug it'd definitely be a totally different story.

I hate attacking bombers in the 152 because of the glass radiator it has. You will climb up to 30k  get one pinged by the 29s and take a long glide home.

Well yes if you are fighting normal every day ma fighters there is no need for that much alt. In reality though it was made for the high alt stuff.

The 152 sorties are going to increase 4x the next month.

It really is one of the few planes in the game capable of attacking B29s at altitude.
Until they realize that the Ta 152 has a glass radiator that somehow attracts lead as if by a magnetic field.
I think a .50 caliber round within 20 yards will break the nose of the Jumo engined 190's. This alone makes them horrible interceptors. I've never understood people using them for this purpose.

In the game, it's not very good (well, extremely frustrating at least) to use in that application.
