Pretty accurate for me. The Hog-4 is just a little worse than the Tempest IMO...

And, well, I actually expected the Me262 to be around 300  ;)

yup, agree with RAM, I expected more too. It will take a while for those that have hoarded their perkies to spend them though :) You know when you see a 262 that guy has been a around a little while.

Glad it is expensive.

Me262 pilots will learn to fear that beacon light more than any thing else.

Too overpriced IMO.

Its very hard to get a kill in the 262. Icons lets your prey see you and turn hard.

I spent my entire fuel load on the 262 trying to tail anyone, I only managed to get 1 kill on a pony by coming from below a cloud (and I nearly rammed it!).

Speed and icons make the 262 a hard plane to get a kill in (and the 30mm's ballistics means close range shots only!). I dont see why the 200 perk cost. Maybe 100 or 80 perks would be more adequate.

No way,tac. We all know that the biggest strongpoints of the Me262 (namely the speed and firepower) are too their main drawback (almost impossible to get a kill unless you surprise the enemy, and horrendous ballistics).

The plane costs 200 and is a perfect cost IMO. The 262 is a hard plane to get kills in, but is almost uncatchable for an enemy fighter unless you are a worthless jerk  ;).

I dont want to see an arena full of Me262s, because you will only kill a 262 with another 262. Way to achieve it?. Make it expensive.

the cost is fine IMO

I wouldnt only think of its offensive abilities, but its defesnive.

They are extremly hard to get a shot on, in a prop plane any how.

So its kinda hard to get a kill in it but youll have plenty of shots at it since no one can stay with you (under most circumstances).

I think the perk values are right on.

Blauk you gotta hunt nikis in your g2 I killed 9 nikis 1 spit and a typhie in 1 sortie 2 rearms got 27.xx perks.

I never understood that about people complaining about nikis they are worth good perks. Please fly more of umm.........

<edit>
This is one of the reason I rarely buff hunt any more you'll spend all your time looking for umm and when you kill they aren't worth the effort in regards to perks.
