If your talking about the Go-229 vs Me-262 dogfight the show said it was during test flights by the Germans. It said that Erwin Ziller flew it against a Me-262 and the 229 out preformed it in dogfighting ability, maneuverability, and speed.

It said that it was flying with the same engines as the Me262 so Im guessing Jumo 004Bs.

So it's at least a good airframe comparison, thanks :)

Only planes that actually logged some combat flight hours are actually available in game. However, the plane in the OP is (I'm guessing a revised build) of the other flying wing (which was significantly larges due to wingspan). As far as I can remember was that the Nazi's constructed it with the plans of utilizing it to drop a nuke on the US eastern seaboard (I want to say their intended target was NYC, since it was an economic powerhouse).

However, I seem to remember it having 4 prop engines - but my memory isn't the greatest, so I'm possibly wrong. I might have to do some research on this later on today.

Overall though, these planes were prototypes and were never "combat-worthy" or even used in combat, so they would never appear in this game.

True it will never appear in the game but you have to admit it is a very amazing looking plane. Give it a new paint job & you could slide it in to a Star wars movie & it would not look out of place. Then remember the fact that it is approaching a 70 year old design.

And that one of the NG techs says it only needs a few tweaks to be used today.
