Best way to kill a B29?
« on: November 02, 2010, 05:36:13 PM »
Just so we are all well prepared.    :t

I think something with 30mm like a 262 ,  A8,  110G,  TA152.   Devastating firepower is needed for sure.   Target the usual areas of weakness.  Should fall to the ground just the same.

You should be in something fast at the altitude the B-29 is at, and well armed.

Currently in the game now that means things like the Me262, Me163, Ta152, P-47M, P-47N and if you're daring the F4U-4, Bf109K-4 and Spitfire Mk XIV.

Don't fly up it's 20mm Hispano armed ass.

Not entirely sure an AH B-29 ought to have a 20mm in the tail. In RL they were usually removed as they were so unreliable.

I think the weapon of choice is going to be either the 152 or the P-47 unless you can get to them before they get up to alt.

Lets see what the crews documented about how they were attacked.








Looks like nose on is the winner. :aok

excellent research lyric! 

The front quarter shallow belly attack is my usual favourite angle of attack.  Build up as much speed as possible then zoom past.  Only the really good gunners can make a shot and change positions quick enough to have a pop out the back once you've gone past.

I'm looking forward to the challenge  :)
