Where is that 262 pilot flying his plane?
-around a bigarse horde of red? Hes doing it well! Fussing is just the primary reaction of the hordelings.
-in a situation where there arent many red guys? Let him waste his time and land 2-3 kills after flying for 30-35 minutes.

Any questions?  ;)
Yeah. Why don't you see the guys that fly 51s in the same light? And I'll pose that question to the rest of you too. This community is weird. Everyone rags of the P51 guy that runs but never a harsh word for the Tempest or 262 guys that do the same exact thing. Why is that?

Because he's flying 262's himself, but not P-51s.  ;)

Saw some raging on 200 because of you flying a 262 and vulching them. Solution, up a wirb or OST and have a friend as bait  :D

I wasn't vulching in my 262. I was just horde killing. :)



Don't complain 'bout no darn 262's flying over if ya aint willing to die.  :old:

I'm going to have to test this later today. Wonder if I can convince some fellows to do a 262 raid with me  :devil

I will gladly do a 262 raid with you, but only if it's on a CV group!

It's hard to buy the "perk risk" and "51s are free" argument when some talk about or even post pictures of them attacking CVs with 262s.   :lol

4 x 30mm makes a potent ship killer in this game, if a little expensive perk-wise. Too bad you can't fly 262s as attack sorties.

I have the same question about people who disparage LAs and ponies as runtards. Why does taking a perk plane make it acceptable to play in a way the same people claim is not legitimate for non-perk planes? If anything it's worse in the perk planes since they are that much more immune to everyone else if they keep their speed up.

The thing I really dislike about 262s, though, is the result of the perk system. Not losing the perks if you land the plane is a very, very, very bad thing because it encourages lame play. It's especially true if you've spent over 150 perks for that plane. The reward for not dying in a perk plane should be not dying, the same as it is for all the other planes.

Buying a 262 for a certain amount of perk points instead of renting it for the same amount? Brilliant idea Loki !  :x That should piss the jet dweebs off  :rofl

Why?  They're harmless.  Turn into them and they'll break away every time.
