Basically just like a B-17 or B24, just with much more patience. Getting a positional advantage is essential, you must attack him with high speed from an odd angle - or use the 50mm BK-5 and snipe him from distance. If you don't use the Me 410, use any other fast cannon equipped plane to maximise damage in a short span of time.
As you will possibly catch semp at a lower altitude than the apparent standard one for 29s (30k+), you may consider an attack from the lower frontal side arc - the chin gunner station has a somewhat worse view, it's an unusual angle fro the gunner to shoot at and (most importantly) you will avoid the dreaded 4-gun top turret. The Me 262 will best work with this approach, but keep it fast. (As he's broadcasting his position early, I'd expect a few 262's going after him anyway.)
And don't ever think of creeping low under his belly because of his missing belly gunner position. A good bomber guy will easily shoot you down from the side gun stations, hopping between the drones to get a nice view of you.

I had some reasonable success this way against the B-29 in the past.  :old:

I know it is none of my business but I have to ask,  why do you want to spend all your perks in one week?    :airplane:

Semp wants to give back to all the people he got those perk points from.
