my guess (and it's only a guess) is that it won't be right away. Unless they want to add them to TOD (I doubt it) it will have to wait until TOD is out and it'll just be randomly in the queue of all planes that need to be converted.

I replied 1st because I'm on the forums right now

TOD is going to be a structured scenario type dealio, where you create a pilot for TOD, and you have to take that pilot (that character, if you will) and fly on one side or the other in the 8th air force's bombing of Germany. The LW will intercept the bombers, the bombers will bomb, the USAAC fighters will escort. Depending on what you want to do you'll pick a side and a role, and fly the missions. I think you need to pass mission 1 before moving on to mission 2, etc.

There's lots of stuff in the TOD forum. Check it out.

Those other ones are essentially the B version which were the attack versions. It was a crappy attack plane and the B version a crappy fighter as well though I don't think any B versions were used as a fighter but wouldn't have been as good as the A version.

ack-ack

The decision of turning 262 fighters into attacker versions must've been the stupidest idea ever...by the time the 262 went into service, Germany should've spend more time in Defensive aircraft

yea frank most of the 262s they built were sitting in fields with no engines no they should of made more defencive planes with the material needed for the 262s

Well Im not talking about the materials spilled on making 262's, but the fact Germany had more on their mind than attacking England, because they were under heavy attack by Allied bombers (due to the air superiority)

Production was not a problem. Germany produced more planes at the later stages of the war than in the earlier stages. Fuel and lack of skilled pilots though a major problem.
