Me 262 with out rockets?

[Krusty]

The R4M rockets were air to air. They were so potent they were to be fitted to a number of 262s. They have been requested and IMO are quite a legitimate addition to our existing 262. They would be interesting, for sure.

well this solves one problem if they do add them, lower the perk price for the ME-262 with the rockets and we wont have to perk the B-29 lol

+2

Anything to make them more vulnerable during takeoff.

I was waiting for you to stop by with your knowledge of Lufftwaff ACs.  Thanks.

isent the fact that you have 30mm cannons,jet engines, and are the fastest fighter in the game good enough for you?

if we gave the me262 rockets, noone would ever shoot at buffs again. it would be a nonstop rocket barrage.imagine if you were in buffs, you see an me262 on your 6. your in your tailgun, he's 2k out, your training your sights. theeennnn.....-towered- by the rocket he fired at you while still outside your gun range.

That is the exact reason rockets were the number 1 weapon of choice on killing bombers. 30mm were second choice.

This is an actual 262 rocket kill.

yes i know. that was in the war tho, when life&death mattered.

this is a game tho, whats the fun of being a buff pilot if you allways get intercepted by an me262 that can kill you without even having to get within your gun range?

if they do put them in, i hope they give them a fair enough range atleast.

In this game, bombers fly faster and higher than they did in real life.


Note how it says "slow" bombers? Lumbering came to mind. They cruised during combat for maximum fuel conservation. They didn't firewall the engines with 25% gas at takeoff, make it to 35K inside 30 minutes, and the float above all opposition because they can't fly high enough to intercept.


They were low, slow, and targets. In this game they're almost god-like.

probably because bombers in ww2 flew a million miles to get to their target, while we fly 1.

Mostly in german, but deffently worth looking at. States in there a few times this was mounted on the Me-262 A-1, which we have in game.
