Kinda cool, I don't think this is a repost.

No training video needed.  Attack it the same way you do any other bomber, only speed and firepower are even more of a priority.   ;)  The Ta152 haulin' arse from a higher altitude does nicely.  At minimum, dual 20mm are needed, imo.  Otherwise, going as fast as you need to be to avoid the B29's defenses mean that you'll have less "time on target" and quad .50's and in many case 6/.50's simply wont do. 

The 190's, 109's w/ gondolas (triple 20mm), Typhoons, Tempests, Ta152, P47's with 8/.50's, and obviously Me262's, and a few "fast moving and well armed aircraft" will do the job well.  The higher the B29 is, the more the Ta 152 shines in the B29 killer role.

Before I watch the video my guess is in AH to attack from the low 11 or 1 position using the rudder to slidslip and sire across the cockpit and wing areas, mabe even hitting that gigantic vert stab.

Now that I have watched it, I am surprised the do not come on from a low position, and at low alts recommend what we would consider a rear attack, which would be considered suicidal in AH.

I especially wonder why every attack starts above the target?  Thats where the best vision, and biggest concentration of guns are.

It's unlikely you will find one by happenstance.  You gotta hunt them!!  Could take you the better part of an hour to find, climb, and set up your attack at 30+k  but DAMN is rewarding if you bag one.

Some of us (occasionally me) specifically fly for stuff like this.

I've killed them with a set of B17s.  :D 50-something perks for all 3.

  the game is concentrated on combat, not on shaking the screen.

 Thank you for posting this! Very interesting that there was no mention of the Tu-4, a reverse engineered B-29 fielded by USSR but seems certain that this was the reason for this film.
