262 kill

What did minus say ?

My best 262 kill yet was when my own 262 started dogfighting another 262.

Red 262 was steadily staying at d800 from me, both of us at near 600mph...

Knowing he would run for home, I fired a SINGLE shot in his direction, aiming with my nose raised a bit above the horizon as I planned to start my own 5 degree climb and let him get away...

my plane was not exactly 6 OC behind but rather flying parallel to him, being a hundred feet off to his right (but d800 behind him).

So off goes the single shot (tracer), see it arc sloowly towards him, flying parallel (to the right) of him...

and imagine my amazement when I see the red 262 BANK RIGHT and fly INTO my single tracer.

*PING*

and off goes his tail.

D800+ single shot 262 kill. Got it on film too.

Closest death in 262:

Landing with no engines (fuel out), cons closing in d900 and gaining, had no other choice but to hit the runway at 200mph and pray the krauts installed ABS on the thing.

It was on a field who'se only runway points towards water on one end and the other end is on on a hill that literally slopes UP from the end of the runway at 90 degrees.

262 stopped. Film showed my 262's nosetip INSIDE the mountain.

Worst death in a 262:

Landing a burning engine 262 (about 35 seconds you have before it blows up) on the NDISLES high alt field SE of the map (a17?) landing from NW to SE direction 'cause I had no time to live... plane slowed slowed slowed ... with 50mph to go to complete stop I ran outta runway, slingshot off the cliff, arched slowly downwards, engine exploded in midair. Gawd was I pissed.

Hey I got another 262 kill in a P47D-25 the other day, and I SURVIVED.  He came at me head on, and I opened fire with my eight 50s.  Tore his left wing off, and went spiraling to his death.  He didnt hit me, but I bet my 47 could have survived a few head on 30mm strikes.

Great story, my fav. 262 kill was in a P47D11. was on ndiles at base 9 or 10 I forget wich is closet to enemy port. We were on the top part of the map. Anyway I was flying alone at 15k level and fast and a 262 made a run on me then started going after low dots I kept check6 ing people and kept seeing people dieing. Now I was stil at 15k and 262 was about 5k, I waited for him to make a pass on a friendly then seen him turn 180 and that was my cue. DIVEing in my P47 went I came up behind him he went to deck so did I. compressing to beat hell 400 on his 6 I waited for the shot. He kept it strait and that number went to 425 so I opened fire for 3 sec. and boom almost ran into wreckage and got a message. Host: you have killed 4ACES. Felt good taking all his kills away I know he had a few. Thats only time Ive kill a 262 in a fighter rest die from B17 guns.

Now on the other hand: My 2 worst 262 deaths.

1>  
 5k fast, very fast comin up on lancs at 6k. about 500 out I thought cool he dont see me was waiting for 350-400 to come before I started spraying. at 450 boom I was in tower. That really sucked, I was bish at time and was 360 perks down the drain.

2>
was at 10 k ndiles, seen some low fighters, Alot of low ones. I thought hehe this gonna be fun. Diveing in on 51 and instant compression all of a sudden I trimed up hearing my plane creak and broke my tail and ended up in ocean. god I felt dumb as I was talking trash on channel 1 too.

Well if we're telling 262 stories... Last two times I've flown HQ raids in a formation of arado's some poor schmuck has come up in a 262 and tried to get me... both times they ended up w/ -200 perkies and in the tower

That's also why I don't fly Spitfires, N1k2s, LA-7s, or Mustangs.  In a FM2, 109G10, or Yak9U, even if I only get 1 kill before dying, I still come out ahead.

Define "ahead" please .

One more story  It was my first night of having a real 'pay' account in Aces High.  I had played the beta for a while but got burned out.

So anyways I am putting around in my Yak9t.  This 262 comes screaming overhead and dives on me at nearly a 90 degree angle.  Well I haul back on the stick and my little Yak is shaking and stalling.  Soon the 262 is within 1000 yards.  I open fire with my 37mm cannon as 30mm tracers stream past my aircraft.  Hes closing insanely fast, my rounds are missing as are his- I probably fired 3 rounds as he closed from 1000 to 200 yards.  So now we are on a collision course.  By some miracle my 37mm strikes his wing root and his aircraft (minus left wing of course) screams past me towards terra firma.  

1 German wonder weapon destroyed in the name of Kamrad Stalin!

flying spit V last night 262 comes down on base I am defending blazing away so I make a diving bank to the right kick left rudder hard and grab all guns as he flashes past and ping ping ping then he turns to the right (had to be a newbe) and tried to out turn the spit ping ping ping no more engines, then a p47 comes in and starts turn fighting the spitV and ping ping ping 47 goes down landed 2 kills and 14.87 perks.  

I dont ususally get the kills on the 262's so I figured he must be a newbe but never looked to see who was flying it
