I'm not sure you have been smoking, but in no way shape or form can the Me262 turn with any prop plane in the game at any speeds.  The slower the speeds are the worse the spread gets for the 262.   :)
Wasnt smoking anything now. Ask Latrobe what an awsome fight we had, 262 vs dora. I was winning the rolling scissors, but missed my shot and he went vertical just in time.
Also got many jugs and 190s in an 1v1 (heck sometimes ponies, but they were from the lamer kind), dogfight (not BnZ pussing...). 262s are real capable dogfighters but they have a LOT of fuel onboard. Under 30% they are bloody sweet.

I'd definitely turnfight in my 262's if it weren't for the fact that every red guy that sees a 262 going a bit slow would stop anything, even saving their own mother's life to get a chance to kill it. Since because of that, my self preservation has to prevail since I have never passed having 500 fighter perks at any one time.

They do that even when your speed is up.

Ever notice that congo line that seems to form behind every 262, even though they have no hope of actually catching one.

Correct, from what I have read the Meteor was pretty sluggish to handle, while it out turns or climbs a 262 it was no where easy to fly.

However since Aces High does not model this in as a factor due to auto trim.

-1 for this Brit pansy plane. They never wanted it to fly against german planes and buzz bombs don't count... 5 buzz bombs don't make you and ace, But 5 c-47s would.

I think you'll find they didn't want the ruskies to get their hands on it.  It destroyed 46 German aircraft in ground attacks.

buzz bombs killed thousands of British civilians,  do you want me to believe that all of those peoples lives were not affected by imaginary combat when meteor pilots with brass balls were there in 1944-45 tipping them off course with skill and precision.  

Sorry Timmy daddy isn't coming home today because they didn't want no meteors in game!!!    :cry
