R4Ms for Me-262s

[titanic3]

Air to air rockets, 12 under each wing, held by wooden racks. Fired in volleys that acted as a shotgun barrage to disperse bomber formations. Contact fuse, inaccurate when fired one by one, but effective when fired en masse.

Was used, saw combat and confirmed kills. Would be awesome to have in game.

same reason we gave before.  if you want to get easy kills get a pony like I do.  262's should be a challenge to fly and get kills in.  otherwise we would have every dweeb  with 200 perks zooming by and try to use rockets as he cant get any kills with guns.

It'd be harder to get kill with the rockets than it is with the guns...

It's used as tool to break enemy bomber formations and then kill the stragglers with the cannons. In AH, at ranges under 800 yards, it'd be very much easier to kill bombers with the 30mms. At ranges of 1000 yards+, if you get by one of these, it's either 100% luck or 100% your fault because you couldn't turn to the side a little bit. It'll be almost impossible to kill a maneuvering fighter with these rockets because they are contact fused, which means they'll have to hit something first before exploding.

horrible idea this game is already challenging for bombers to defend themselves cause of the lack of coordinated fire from the 3 planes

yeah firing from 1000 would be easy to miss but you know when you can go 200 mph faster than the bomber i can see it now flying in lancs and one 262 comes out of no where gets 100 or less from a formation sets a full salvo with a small delay and just pulls up and they as so close to you you can't avoid them and all 3 of your bombers gone

Hit the n key next time you are in a b17 turret. Looks pretty coordinated to me.

im talking about the distance or range or even better convergence often your 2 drones will be firing in front or behind that target you are

Im a bomber guy but I still believe 200 perks should at least buy you what was commonly used on the ME-262. The games 262s are much easier to hit with bomber guns then they were in real life anyways. Of course many 262 sticks in the game still insist on attacking bombers from the rear instead of using the actual tactics of the Luftwaffe.

Honestly, which game are you talking about? For me, if the bomber set knows im there, attacking them is a complete suicide. And nope, im not as much of a newb to attack from the dead six.

Rockets in fact were statistically more effective than guns in real life & were the main weapon of choice for attacking bombers.

If programmed correctly in AHII it would be deadly on bombers.

Perk this weapon, on top of perked ride. My guess is they are going to perk the 50mm on the soon to be released Me-410. Makes sense to me.

One observation, it is frequently mentiioned mnoobs with 200 perks' yada yada yada. Really not that many Me-262s in-game now. Perk these weapons and they'll be used even less frequently.

 If Germany would have produced the ME-262 firing these bundles of rockets much sooner the air war in west may have going badly for the Allies. Fortunately Hitler and all his cronies he appointed were totally Incompetent for the exception of Albert Speer. Hitler had wonderful companies in Germany with great manufacturing capabilities like Krupp that were hamstrung by his policies. Read (Strategy For Defeat The Luftwaffe 1933-1945 by Williamson Murray). While it is a dry read it is amazing the direction Hitler took his manufacturing and weapons development programs.
