Well, there could be 262s, if the objectives are met that acquire the technology and resources......
Teaser, working on a concept.
'm not a huge fan of them in a leading role. I have been looking at this particular design to see if something will work, this design might not be it, I'm almost done counting stuff.
The idea was not to have 262s as an actual element of the event, rather the goal of the event. "If" the Axis gain enough resources, ground and technology by objective successes, they complete the development of the 262, which would only allow them a launch window in the last hour or so of the last frame.
I don't think it is going to be a factor in this particular design though, it doesn't fit with the foundation Brooke laid out in the progression of the battles.
