Now now, don't add any fuel to the fire. You are just as bad at times. Let's just let it be. This was an interesting thread. Let's keep it so. :aok

Krusty,

I have landed a 262 in AH on one engine at least once.  I remember it well because the engine was taken out by a D3A1 of all things.

EDIT:  This happened in AH1.  I don't know if AH2 changed things.

Most of my 262 memories are relatively recent... I never bothered with it much in AH1.

P.S. Fear the Val!

Kurfy, did you forget to take that medication your shrink prescribed for your emotional imbalance.

Just for the record, my brother is a Spit fanatic and I am ALWAYS putting it down. The best German a/c (prop) were produced by Focke-Wulf.:)

Maybe its time that we stopped with the endless bait and trolls. You cant even get 3 replies anymore without it turning to crap:

On the subject of the Me262 kill, my info is the 1st Jet claimed by RAF 2nd TAF was a 401 RCAF Spit IX, yes.

Be carefull with "1st"s everybody claims them :), and are usually worded fairly narrowly. I have no idea whether thats an RAF 1st or not...

Frothing?
Lol I put forward a little trivia, nothing else, no frothing.

Yeah. I shot down the first 262 in 1836. :D

Relax.  The war's been over for a long long time.

I realize the LW won the war and that the 109/ 190 or your LW plane of choice was the greatest plane ever.


I don't know what your problem is, and I don't care. However, he asked if what he posted was 'accurate'. I thought he might really mean what he asked and I gave an 'accurate answer'.

I did this to show him that things aren't as simple as a yes / no answer with most of the points listed. I said as much in my previous reply.

I didn't 'jump' on anything. I never mentioned the Luftwaffe, or 109s, or 190s.

I am not a member of any 'contingent', my words are my own. I certainly don't need to relax any more then I am now.

I suggest you take your own advice.

I don't have a problem with Brunos 1st reply to my original post, or Krustys first post.
Although Kurfy seems down to his low standard as usual.

Bruno added a bit of flesh to the

July 44 - 616 Sqn recieves Meteors
Aug 44 - 1st kill V1 by a Meteor

At the time I originally posted I didn't want to have to post a 4 page thesis on each particular entry, was just a rough guide.

Altohugh now its been brought up -
1st kill of a 262 (air-air) would be interesting to find out.

And it would be interesting to see if it was due to ground attack, due to bomber gunnery, or due to other fighters..

Asymmetric thrust in the AH2 Me 262 is tough at low speeds. Don't even bother trying to get it slowed down without first shutting down the remaining engine. It's easier to deadstick land than fight the handling.

That is what I already posted, with the WNr of the 262 and its pilot.
