As if four 30mm tater guns aren't already enough...

It would almost be pointless.
As a bomber killer it's mk108 is fine. For tank killing th bk would be difficult due to the speed of the airframe

The only practical use for that 50mm on a 262 is for stabbing B-17's and B-24's with it. Just sharpen the muzzle and you're good to go!

The service trial was considered unsatisfactory and it was not proceeded with.  It was very much the same as the YB-40, given a service trial, not proceeded with due to unsatisfactory results.  Neither should be in AH.

Me262 with R4M as an option would be nice though.

     I seriously think the R4M would hurt gameplay.  No bomber would want to go past frontline
fields, especially not any bomber with a perk.

Technically all 190s could carry them.

AFAIR they were used by some Fw 190D against bombers and some radial-engined version vs ground targets (Panzerblitz variant).
There were just one or two Me 262 with two different 5cm cannon tested.

I would like on on my Jeep, as well.

Wonder what the PA state police would have to say about it...

     The problem being is that in real life there are practical limits to the numbers of R4Ms available.
Since we magically get new aircraft and ordnance every time we reup, there are no limits.

     Nice of you to think of other players though  :rolleyes:

The supply of 262s to carry them is limited in the game though.

well consider how many la-7 with 3 guns where available IRL....
A bad thing for the allied bomber crews was they did not knew that it was rockets killing them according to the book "Luftwaffe over Germany".

The rockets where not seen until they hit, and allied crew thought they where being killed by ground-ack.
