It's a question of armament. The B-29 is a massive target and is hittable at longer range than you would normally fire at - if you have the firepower.
I did a mission using the 30mm Hayate as a B-29 hunter and it wasn't that hard to kill them. I just started firing at about 6-700 meters and those big wings just blew off. It was a simple dead-6 stalk with some bobbing around as I closed in to throw the tail gunner's aim off.
Now, if you're using 7.62 calibre mg's, it might be a different story.
