Being a buff pilot, I like to find out the weaknesses of my bomber - Boy oh boy is the 29 a roman candle when hit with taters. I'm sure you flyboys will enjoy that :P
Here's some OL SS
Me lighting it up using a single bombers nose gun
(http://i53.tinypic.com/2zyzksi.jpg)
I hit it at 1K out with a 190 (30mm package), 1 burst, flew in to investigate.

An ending of the first run
(http://i53.tinypic.com/m83abt.jpg)
I also fired a simple 5 round burst of nothing but 30mm, the rounds crossed, 1 hit on both inboard engines, both engines flamed up immediately - I thought I took a SS but apparently I didn't.
EDIT: I hate double posters - so I edited in the above information :P

the knights have no idea what the hell their doing. i bet thats a noob too. he upped it from a forward base didnt he? but god what an idiot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

people are racking in B29 kills left and right - go to the MA
-
you got noobs flying it in the MA's. true pro buff pilots will take it up from far away bases and cruise at 35k, thats what i would do.
-
Bet hes pissed hahaha! him: :bhead you: :banana:
-

I thought I read somewhere that this plane was "tough"??
So let me get this straight, its pretty heavily perked with an eny of 2, and will light up if you look at it wrong??
-
man, thats the sad part. why perk it at 122 per plane if its an easy kill???? i say 75 perks for each plane.
-
yeah it's EASY to kill
1 30mm burst and she flames up worse than a B24
-

Or using a nose gun from a bomber. :bolt:
Anybody shot one down from a chute yet?? :rock
-

Just to let you know, you can't shoot a single 30mm at a time in a 190A-8, you're firing 2x MK108 and 2x MG151/20 in unison.

Like I said, 5 round burst, not all rounds connected with the target. The few that did set it on fire.
-
Just saying that this
I also fired a simple 5 round burst of nothing but 30mm
Is impossible with an Fw 190A-8
-
*face palm* - 5 rounds from each gun STILL equals a FIVE ROUND BURST.
If you have 3 SAW gunners put down a 5 round burst as a group - you tell them all, "FIVE ROUND BURST".....
Yeah, you have 15 rounds flying, but it's still a 5 round burst.
5 from each weapon....
*sigh*
That thing we used to cherish slowly fades away into the abyss of hopelessness....to be lost to history and remembered by the few who wish to practice it....What is it you might ask? Common sense.
-
You're making mountains out of mole hills now.
I was simply saying that this
nothing but 30mm,
is impossible
You shot 20mm and 30mm at the bomber.
-
Was the B-29 called "Betty"? :confused:
I just toyed around in offline mode, I didn't even need any cannons. A burst with the 109's MG 131's alone and the engines are engulfed in flames ...
-
:old: yes indeedy. Having the honor of being the first b29 shot down, I noticed engine fires from a burst of mg fire from a spitfire at 500 yds head on. hit both engines ..ping ping blaze. Burns like a magnesium flare!
-
Well, that ends my thoughts of cruising at medium altitude to slug it out with enemy fighters. Stratosphere, here I come :rolleyes:

This might actually be tons of fun... Finally a fight thats in the Ta-152s designed combat envelope.

That beautiful plane in flames!
-
yeah i think HT made it a roman candle to reduce it's use :/

bomb n bail doesn't count as being a b-29 pilot...
i'll carry drop tanks and wait til you're wheels down on approach...see how that rumples your mints

ill just take 75% fuel my buddy nucks took up a formation earlier at 35k hit 4 towns. nobody was able to catch him at that alt. ima be doing the same, and ill make sure you never catch me.

:lol
Most likely not <S>

No that I am any expert, but did a little test in the offline. Less than 80 .50 cal to the wing area ignites a B-29. Again, I am not an expert, but seem easier than other buffs.
Will try to test theroy later on with film.

gotta land sometime, why waste time climbing, ill catch them landing :devil
-
I shot down the B29 with ease in a Spit I in offline, it took very few rounds to set it on fire.
-
I think I'm an idiot, how are you guys shooting the B-29 offline? I don't see it circling the base, or am I totally blind?

Under arena setup you can assign any plane (or GV) of choice to the drones

Fear the i16 :t

Good luck getting that B29 to 35k, the climb rate was at about 200fpm when I was at 27k with 75% fuel and 40 500lbers.
Took about 40 minutes just to get up to that altitude

For 35k you need to take a light bomb load and less fuel. The practical limit for a full bomb mission is about 25-30k.
A 100% fuel, 40x500lbs B-29 takes 40 minutes to go to 20K, 54 minutes to reach 25 and 74 minutes for 30k (you still have ~90 minutes of fuel left at that altitude)

But even with a light bomb load and less fuel, how high can you actually get? It will still use of 50% of your fuel getting up to alt

50% fuel, 20x500lbs will get you to 35K in 48 minutes. You then have about 40 minutes time @ full military power left. You can even reach 40k in this configuration (69 minutes), but this is quite impractical beyond a "Look at me, Ma! I'm up here! :banana:" moment.
