How can you get a 262 shot down? Only by flying it wrong, or someone makes an incredibly lucky shot.
You have to keep your speed way up and you will be virutally untouchable.
My favorite way of using it was to vultch a runway. Taught this technique to a few guys. Get plenty of altitude, pick your field, dive in and fly the length of the runway at just slightly under the speed of compression. You will be moving so fast nobody, nor field ack can hit you. Climb out and do it again. When you get to the point your energy is dissapating, fly away and either regain all the energy you need, or go to a well distant field and land your kills.
It always worked for me anyways. Just hope like heck nobody on the other side has a 262 with equal E.
