B-29 Epic run
« on: June 11, 2015, 03:59:56 PM »
Log on and notice how cheap 29's wereal at that time so I upped a set with 75% fuel and took off. Once i hit 20k i started turning into the wind at each level to see if my climb rate increased but i didnt notice a difference. I hit 31k as I approched Bish city from the SE. About a minute from my drop a 163 enters icon range and is closing fast. I set my salvo and delay so that I could gun and dropped the city down 18%. At the end of this drop the 163 attacked from high 4 oc'lock. I threw it into wep auto-climb dt speed 135 4 bombs from the end of my drop to counter the 163 line and it worked. The 163 overshot a head and reset from below setting up a vertical pass. I hoped into my gun 6 position and dispatched the 163 without issue. I proceeded to the troop and ammo factories dropping both below 40%. Shortly after my encounter with the 163 north of the city System also hit city with B-29's dropping it to 43%. On my return to base I came across a set of B-17's headed to attack a friendly vbase. I dropped 15k to get to this guy and matched his every move. Positioned myself to his high 10 o'clock at 1k and scored 3 kills but gave up a bird in the fight.

About 15minutes later while rtb i noticed my fuel had been reset. I had suffered a disco early in the run and was currently flying a drone. This drone also had no damage from the previous fights and a ton of ammo left. Then System lands his sortie with 3 kills and awesome damage. He reups with jbblazer for a bish hq run where one went noe the other climbed to 15k. I wasnt satisfied sitting on 4 kills 2 hours of fuel and bullets so i decided to escort the lancs :D

I stayed back with system as he climbed maintaining a 5 k alt difference the majority of the flight in. As soon as dar started popping i dropped to 15 k and zoomed ahead towards Jblazer and my timing was perfect. I interecpted a climbing 262 and 152 who took the bait on me distracting them from the lancs. JBlazer dropped the HQ so System turned to the city. I positioned myself 1.3k off his 5 oclock high between what went from 2 cons to 5 out of no where. The first to attack was a spit who i droped at over 1k was dropped in on my 6. Shortly after the 262 attacked from below 6 as a pony dropped in high 8. System began his drop as i engaged the pony first. The pony's pass missed as i climbed and turned into his line of attack ramming me right after i took his wing off. I throw it into level autopilot and jumped into my 5 position. I typed in dt speed 220 and hit alt x as the duece got within 1k directly below me. I was able to get a firing solution directley into his cockpit at 600. At this point having killed the duece and pony the remaining cons lost all sense of teamwork and were bent on not lettig me land. The 152 finaly attacked head on so i auto-climbed and lit him up wth both front and rear guns on his pass taking a wing. A 109 was my last kill who attacked me at the same time but were shotdwon before they came within 1k. I was now satisfied with the sortie and made it home safely.

By the time i landed HQ was dropped for 105minutes city was at 34%. AAA 0%thanks to hack and dundee in gvs, ammo, troops, and radar under 40%. Complete destruction of Bis strats and a once in a bluemoon run in the glorious B-29 having scored 9 victories and 30k damage. I saved the film and need to learn how to review it and make it into a video edited for youtube.

 Lucky ....I'm too busy to play :devil
Something is fishy with Me163 compression  modeling at 25k-30k; interesting the  B17/29 are more maneuverable up there at about  same speed; I hope they tone down this childish bombing precision  in next version ;

  I'm sure the film will be as "epic" as the B29 run itself. I can't wait!

I wouldnt mind there being a player controlled option to manual calibrate myself.
