i think we should replace the me262 version that we have with the one that carried the 24x R4M HE rockets and 2x 500k bomb or 250k (i dunno which one). wat do you guys/girls think, should we stick with this version or the latter version? o_O

I agree will give people more oppurtunity to auger them in.

(not that they need any help in doing so already)

Why get the Me-262A-2a when it was a crappy plane? It was virtually worthless as an attack plane and couldn't maneuver like the Me-262A-1a. The Storm Bird built up too much speed in diving attacks, making the plane almost uncontrollable and very inaccurate when making dive attack runs. It was also gimped in the guns department with only 2x 30mm cannons. The only ordnance it could drop with any sort of accuracy were cluster munitions (and you don't have to be accurate with these ordnances) dropped using horizontal attacks at low level.

Again, 9 out of 10 times you'd miss the target completely. The Storm Bird was that crappy of an attack plane. It was just too fast and wasn't designed as an attack plane. That's why cluster munitions were the best ordnance to use with the Storm Bird because you didn't have to be too accurate in dropping those. The 2x 30mm cannons might help in strafing but with only enough ammo for 1 maybe 2 passes, it's almost worthless in this role too.

so go ahead and turn those engines off and glide bomb or just turn one off like you suggested it won't change the fact that the Storm Bird was a miserable failure as an attack plane.

nice find, thanks.

loved this quote from Goering

“You might find around Germany some jet airplanes equipped with anti-tank guns. Don’t blame me for such monstrosities. This was done on the explicit orders of the Fuehrer. Hitler knew nothing about the air. He may have known about the Army or Navy, but absolutely nothing about the air. He even considered the Me-262 to be a bomber and he insisted it should be called a bomber.”

I like the 262 the way it is. It cost allot so you don't see them too often. It already has good guns. Some times I wonder why people want to try to improve the perkie rides. They are already in the Uber catagory for a reason.

Replace it? I say no.
