The A-1 fighter verion had the 4 x 30mm cannon and later on in April the R4M air to air rocket. Will the R4M be modeled? For killing individual bombers it's usless (R4M)
But in the east they were used against soft ground targets (in AH - flak,troops,pt boat)
If there are bomber formations it could hit a few of them. The LW fired salovs of 12 on each wing at the bomber. Also will the A-2 jabo be modeled? 2 X 250lbs under the nose, and the removal of the bottom 30mms.

Would you Jabo in an expensive perk?

Hopefully the R4M's will be modelled, maybe the bombs too but I doubt it.

I wouldn't realy see the danger to much, unless you misjudge speed and crash into the ground!

Great, the world is full of insane people

mrfish · « **Reply #6 on:** August 13, 2001, 10:18:00 AM »

lemme explain my insanity wilby

what are you gonna do with a 262?

A: attack fighters? - all they have to do is one simple break turn and the 262 is useless. if you dogfight with it you will be dead in no time and if you stay at 500mph and 30k you will die of boredom looking for someone to bounce.

B: attack buffs? - errr i might attck a few but i die 50% of the time with buffs so it would be lame.

C: Jabo. as fast as it is you could really whack some gv if you timed it right. ding ding we have a winner.

all my favorite planes are free anyway which is why i have 8 zillion fighter perks - it'll be fun using them on the 262 but i am always hunted when i fly perks so might as well have some fun with it.

Take a 262, set convergance to 100, guns fire mostly down due to slow muzzle velocity. You now have the ultimate vultch machine.

Kind of useless in MA maybe but could do some bomber busting in the CA. I guess God loves crazy people then, because he makes so many of us.

I think it would be great.
You know why?

Because you are safe from nme aircraft.
You can dictate the battle. You can decide when to fight, even against a tempest.

I think it would be better for historical scenarios though.

Sincerely,

262 will be getting kills, oh yes.

It will be to a P51 what P51 is to a Zeke. Now, you say P51 has no kills against Zeke ?

Plus, it will be highly priced perk. That means, no 262 will be turning in the Arena. It will be flown by experienced types only and that alone can get it a great K/D. With 262, Fishu's streak might be in danger too.

You know all the prop fighters will come and camp at your airfield, right? You'll never land it, unless you have some of those "dreaded" Ta 152 around to protect you(that one which out-turns the Tempest and out-speeds the Rustang).

Creamo · « **Reply #12 on:** August 14, 2001, 05:17:00 AM »

262's have to refuel. P51's are fast.

If the BiShits can make any reasonable country effort for communication of where a 262 is spotted, and keep 3 or 4 P51's updated and informed, the vulchfest will begin, oh yes.

Yes indeed.

I bet that 262 aint toejam spooled down on approach.

Hristo · « **Reply #13 on:** August 14, 2001, 05:53:00 AM »

You wish

P-51 is fast but 262 is faster.
262 could easily run away to far away base and land if 262 does a couple of tricks.
Fly over a CV and insta flak will make the 51s divert, slowing them down. Fly toward friendly's and hope they engage the p-51. If your smart the 262 will be very hard to bring down. The LW pilots love the 262 because to them it was like an "insurance policy"
