Yes, I know they appeared at the end of WW2 but having jets fight against propeller driven planes is ridiculous.

As annoying as it can be when they show up in the game, I have to give a big "No" to this one.  The Me262 is a notable part of WWII aviation history and has a place here.

262's are no harder to evade than, say, a 190 or P-51. They are by no means uber.

Something tells me you were just killed by one.

262s are an epic fail in 1v1. The only situation they are real dangerous when they have a lot of food - a horde vulching a field. Yes, remove the horde shepherding tool plz  :rolleyes:

In the right hands a 262 is more than a match for any plane 1v1.

Not you too JUG!  :)

I don't fly 262s, and they can be a pain when you are in with a bunch of other birds and they just run through with those cannon, but there is no reason to get rid of the 262 in game.

No matter how you slice it a 262 should PWN any prop plane if flown well, I think grizz, sunsfan, kappa etc. would say the same thing.



Equal pilots, jet vs prop, jet wins  IMHO
