Follow the "wait until you practice more, but bank a few more perks."   As you probably know the Perk value is amoebic in that you'll never know "How much you'll need."   

Practice in the TA.   Practice diving, turning (try to find you comfort zone).

lol Larry that was how I lost my wing tips on that movie I show ya. some La-7 hoed me, i rolled and he collided. He lost part of his wing so he went in for a ditch. He touch down and was slowing down. I wasn't going to let him get away. I was at 7k or so doing 450 knts, I saw him ditching, nosed over and went straight down full power in a split S. I fired a short burst while I was at 3k lol. It took him down, but I couldn't pull up. I remember I was approaching 700 knts my wing tip came off. I chop throttle, trimmed elevator up all the way, and skid rudder to slow down. I pulled out of the dive at about 200 feet and bugged out. I didn't have enough fuel to go far so I landed at the air field that was under attack.

here is a tip...

MAKE SURE U PUT UP YOUR LANDING GEAR ON TAKEOFF  :cry :cry :cry

i  had had 2 sorties in 262 ( no kills  :cry)
but on my third i forgot to put landing gear up and i was forced to try to belly land.

well one of my wings hit a hill (lost too much speed tryin to land) so i lost a wing 20 feet before runway

i start flat spinning the body hits the runway and slides (im thinking im gonna make it) but i slide too much and im 5 feet from concrete  :cry :cry :cry

so i lost half my 200 perks and yeah..... im not gonna be able to fly 262 for a while... :cry :cry :cry :cry

Say "I" if you didn't bring your first 262 home.

my first 262 i landed but no kills couldnt aim the flipin thing. however i practiced flying it first and landing it. landing a 262 is also a little tricky so i would say practice with the 262 first in the Training arena. see if you can hook up with a trainer.

i am not saying i have never crashed or locked up a 262 it just wasnt my first one

Well they may tell you what to do, before you fly it in the MA, but here is what I do most of the time. Stay NOE, the best way to fly it, is fast and low. Take it in a large dar area, your going to get most kills first in an area with lots of cons. Don't turn it, you can dip wings for an attempt pick, but don't turn it, garuntee that you will lose perks by turning. Do a lot of extending, most of my kills come from noobs that follow you, the best thing to do there is to go stright up, and rope them, extend 1 notch of flaps, and roll over. You will see that he has stalled out, and its an easy kill.
Thats the best way to fly it.

Here are the don'ts of not flying it:
1. Do not pick, your going to lose wings by doing that.
2. Do not take off in an area were there is high cons, it may be fast, but it's not a ball of fire on take off, its very slow, and hard to acually get flying.
3. If you think its going to be close, your going to ram. 99% of the time, you forget about the speed and ram into a zeke doing 150mph. (I've done it)

Thats the best advise I could give you how to fly it in the MAs.

Infowars, watch this video:
The video is a compilation of 3 back to back 262 sorties, of the 3 262's only my one made it back and not in one piece  :eek:

You need the XVID video codec installed. http://www.xvid.org/


But enjoy  :salute   I think we all know how you feel.
I've lost two 262,s one was when I thought I would see how she went as a dogfighter at 160 MPH  :D   Got kilt by a Corsair via a pilot kill.
The other, I lost on takeoff, when I decided to skim across the ground and failed to see a tree (was still slow and nose high)  :D
