Having a bit of experience in turn fighting the lanc I had a go at the B29.

I would agree it handles nice in the stall and would be able to dive bomb a spawn easily enough.   :t

It does a pretty good snap roll.

I took it straight vertical, went down to 36 MPH and rolled it over....I dont think I can do that in a TA152....

she climbs like a wounded duck with weights on its ankles.
she handles like a dump truck riding on flat tires.

Shouldn't be able to do it in a B-29 either.  While the B-29 might have been relatively easy to fly in the terms of flight control responsiveness, it was not a very maneuverable aircraft in comparison to a bomber like the Lancaster.

Agreed there. I was doing some acrobatic moves offline that raised both eyebrows... that is until I tested how many Gs it could pull.

Before that I was thinking "Yeah.... riiiiight..."
