Any Hints and tips on the B29?

[Getback]

Welp I have a few in my very limited experience.

-Don't dive much over 300 mph or you'll see your ailerons fly by.

-Easy on that nose gear, it crunches but in an awesome dramatic way

-Don't let the enemy over you, turn and hit WEP.

-Those 20 mm are sweet

-You may want to adjust seating position for the turrets

-Have lots of perkies

Don't fly her GetBack, not yet. Call me crazy but it doesn't take many .303's to light up an engine..... Or three.

 

Not sure if it's a fire bug but with the way they burn offline, I cannot believe they are worth it unless you plan to hit +30k and have a few hours.

I notice:

- Keep your brakes on, hit your WEP, then release brakes on take off.

- Don't bank too steep.

- Landing, 2 notch of flaps is good enough, 3 creates too much drag.  Also keep you landing speeds at 140-150 due to the weight.  You can flare at 140-150 and anything below that you will drop like a brick.  Give a nose lift an the last 100 ft before touchdown.

if you plan on using it. hit 35k actually brakes on and WEP before take of then when you hit the tire marks at the other end of the runway pullback on the stick and up she goes, head straight till you hit 190 then start your climb. and for the love of god do not manuever that thing. keep it level and straight.

Was testing off line, alt 5k base
bomb load 40/500's,  fuel 50%,  You will need to lift nose at end of runway.
fly on stall limiter, tried with 2 notch's flap, had hard time, with three notch's of flaps a little easier, once up reduce to 2 notch's then one to none.
always use takeoff power (wep), I agree standing on the brakes when starting
well help a lot,  Make sure no hill in  front of the runway for a very good distance, like ten to fifteen miles, you will need all that space to get into a good climb rate.
This BFB climbs very well with that bomb load just under 1000 ft a minute, speed was about 220 mph ground, still testing off line.

well update any other findings   DHawk

25% fuel 40 500lb bombs. plan on 190mph indicated climb speed a little over 1000 ft/min climb rate. bomb around 300+ Ground speed at 12k. do not dive over 340mph.

I got mine up yesterday in-game with 40/50's and 75% Fuel from a large sea-level base.  The funny thing is I didn't even know it had wep so I didn't hit it and still made it.  Just a single, no formation, did a little tour, got message, landed 36,000 points.

Tooooooo Late, I'm 200 perkies plus lighter.   I almost didn't get it off the ground. If I hadn't lifted from a 5k base with a drop off I would have an issue. Also glad there was no tree there.

Another tip, use at least 50% fuel.

I did have a blast in that thing last night. I never used all of my bombs on two sorties. Though now it may be a month or two before I have enough perks for it.

I took a b29 in DA and offline and I could menuaver it fairly well, and take offs with 100% fuel isn't to bad. Keep in mind that bombers have shorter runways because of the drones spawn on runway
