262A-1 vs.262A-2

[dirt911]

Can someone give me any specs on A-1 vs. A-2 they are both almost the same but i believe that A-2 was faster and carried 12-55mm PB1 rockets.

so you want an even higher perk rated 262?

[dirt911]

No..just asking for a comparison if i wanted a higher perked 262 this would be in the wishlist.

[Karnak]

Why would it be faster?  Germany only had one jet engine in service.

[dirt911]

Im not sure just thought of it being a higher horse engine.But the rockets i know were mounted on it.

[Karnak]

Jets are not referred to in horsepower, but rather in lbs of thrust (or kgs of thrust).  Rocket hard points would make it draggier, thus slower.

Draggier, a new word, add it, Websters! 

[dirt911]

Yes but that is the pilots choice if he wants them let him have them.

Do you know how to do internet searches?

Anyways, the A-1 was a fighter while the A-2 was a fighter-bomber and only had 2 cannons.

Maximum speed:
    Me 262A-1a: 540mph (870km/h)
    Me 262A-2a: 470 mph (755km/h)

AFAIK they made a few 262's with more "sweep" to the wings, thus increasing the compression speed. As to how many actually saw combat...?

Never heard anything about that.  They were hard pressed as it was, I am skeptical that they would tinker with the production of something they needed so desperately.

I flew something like that once in Flightgear before, I'll try and dig it up.

EDIT: It was the Me-262 HG I, II, and III.  From what I've just read, only the HG I was ever built, and the HG III had a projected top speed of Mach 0.96.  Cite notes 31 and 32 of this Wikipedia article apparently talk about it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Messerschmitt_Me_262

Draggier, a co-efficient of draggage

Well I'll be, Inflected form of Draggy, haha.
