He 162 would be easer to handel.....Capt. Eric Brown goes to great lengths describing how the He 162 was the best gun platform of all the German jets, and how it manuaved best of all of theam, I think the Me 262 is important but I feal the He 162 would be easer to use in the MA.

I agree with mitsu, if you bring in one, you must bring in the other.

Citabria, you need the Me262 as much as I need you as a red icon on my 6...

Brady, are you a moron!? The He-162 was a waste of time, materials, guns, and pilots! The damn things aileron broke off on a test flight! The plane sucked! It only carried 2x20mm cannons or 2x30mm cannons!

The best Jet fighter of the war was the Me 262. The Gloster Meteor was a terrible design, thats why they never put it into combat at the front. It would have gotten mauled by 262's! The P-80 (American Jet Fighter only hours away from being operational when the war ended) was alittle beter than the Meteor, but still wasnt good.

Forgive me, but doesn't your signature file say something about not posting something that makes you look like a love muffin? Nice ears. Starting out your post by calling someone a moron...anyone else hear that annoying braying sound?

About the He162:

to defend Brad: yes E. Brown, found out that it had the highest tactical speed of all jetfighters of WW2, that means u were able to aim with it at speeds were a ME262 was prone to certain movements cause by high speeds that made it impossible to line up

also the HE162 had a much better roll than the ME262, but thats no wonder, look at the wingspan, wingarea and aileron are and u see why

but against the 162: it was hard to handle (not easier than the 262), no newby plane at all, its tricky flight characteristics killed more than one pilot. the ME262 was heavier armed had better range and better visibility from cockpit so it was overall the better combat plane.

'ME 262 prince of turbojet
Junkers Jumo 004
Blast these clustered R4M quartets in my snout
See these English planes go burn
Now you'll be my witness how red were the skies
When the Fortresses flew for the very last time
It was dark over Westphalia
In April of '45' '

...

Nah, I'd rather have a P-40.
