How did you lose your 262

[Hedgehog]

Like I usually lose perk planes - DISCO!!!!!!!!

=Grrrrrr

[Jackal1]

Lost the most on the " Is Wax drunk enough yet" 262  "Fly it like ya stole it " missions.  Sometimes ya have to beg him to put one up.
  Other than that would have to be, use it and bail  instead of going through the ten minute slow down and land process.
  You always feel sorta cheesey when your in one but it`s fun sometimes just for the Halibut.

Try having a bit of lag on runway...trying to figure out whats wrong...attempt to clear guns "unclear" of why LAG is slowing stick response...then  

BAM!  "TOWER"

Killshooter into some dweeb's mission who decides to up from MY field in peace and quiet...


NICE...REAL NICE

Ahh fresh in the mind, I was on Pizza map and a few squaddies and I were tooling around killing up urbMAW and Knights when we started to get low on fuel and the enemy were beginning to overwhelm us, so we RTBed.  

    I see my 2 wingmen land perfectly and I buzz the tower and their resting spot in a fit of bravado.  Pulling up in a hard left turn spooling down engines I line up to land.   Turning my head to keep an eye out for any enemies I notice that I am slightly off line with the runway.  

Radio Transmission:

sancho: Hey lefty you're nowhere near the runway
LftF00t: rgr I know but who needs a runway when all the terrain is the same.

LftF00T: see I do this all the time
sancho: Hey lefty it doesnt look like you're slowing down

LftF00t: $!% this thing just doesn't slow...what is this runway doing on a cliff?!!?

LftF00t: Maybe i'll use the runway next time
56thFG:  Good idea.

I don't think that a way to break a plane exists which I haven't tried with the 262.

This includes but is not limited to failed takeoffs, strafing ostwinds, hoing bombers at 600 mph, ripping wings and turnfighting zeros. And, of course, discos.

Funniest time i had was landing 262 perfectly on runway slow down and let up off brakes for some unknown reason...go to push brakes again hit B! button (secondary fire btw:D ) and hit a friendly spit right in it's nose....instantly in tower a p*ssed off i erase that button and any other fire button for keyboard:D

So far this tour though i'm 16-0...not a great feat in itself but i hardly every fly it

But don't let the "dumb" act fool ya. They know exactly what they're doing.

 Picture renting a "mistress's apartment" and having a "poker night" twice a week ... and the P.I. she hires to investigate comes back with covert pictures of you playing AH through a crack in the curtains.

Split-Sed one time to attack a Bf110.  Must have gone supersonic because I dove straight into the ocean.

Cart-wheeled landing a 1-engine 262.

Tried to land an elevator-less 262, exploded on runway doing 250mph.

I'm suprised no one has posted any stories about getting shot down by P47s.  Seems like every time I up a P47 a 262 tries to engage me.  Sometimes I get lucky and nail a few 'swallows'.

Another 262 kill story:
had seen 3 262 buzzing the base we were trying to take from our cv, so after landing again, I up a new jet killer, i choose the mighty f4f for this as everyone knows its renowned for its high speed.

After taking off i spend a while spiralling up the mighty engine purring like a lawnmower.

once enough alt has been achieved i set off on my 262 quest, after seeing nothing for a while i see on the map what looks like a friendly with 2 nme about 8 miles from the base isolated so i head over to assist, unfortunatley I'm to late and one nme remains on the map when i get to the last reported position of my fellow pilot i see 5k below me is a low slow 262

tut tut tut how silly HEHE

I dive on him and he has no escape (I'm quite surprised by the high speed handling of the f4f, i get on his tail at d200 and his plane is now in tiny bits.

Bliss

p.s. I've also done the approach on 1 engine gun the throttle and spin out landing in a 262. (i now shut off the damaged engine before it dies and save it for landing)

[WldThing]

I think my 1st time consisted of either taking a 262 up with 25% fuel, or diving down on a C47 and hitting the water before i even killed the goon.

[Supermike]

So I am not that good, right.  I don't have that many perks, but once i hit 160 i was geeked to try out the 262.  So i find a nice out of the war field to up from, no dar bar, no NME fields nearby, I'm a couple fields deep in Knigh territory even.  So I'm sitting on the runway starting my engines and BAM BAM BAM...tower!  There just so happened to be an NME P51 flying around this nice, quiet, out of the way base where I could safely fly my shiney new 262.  I was a tad upset, and I bet he's laughing his butt off to this day.  Anyone else get vulched in a 262? lol

How bout 262 kill stories?

Well, the best 262 kill I've ever made was when i'd joined a mixed-force assault against a field up in the NW corner of the pizza map (A21 or A25, I think); I got sidetracked by GVs upping from the field, and held off the GVs long enough for the VH to get taken down, at the expense of getting tracked. So I wasn't going anywhere.

Well, the attack on the town petered out -- having to drive past the field will do that -- so I was left there about 1500 yards away from the runway, being pretty much ignored by the enemy aircraft, who had other aircraft to shoot down.

Well, with a couple of ranging shots, I discovered that the nearest runway spawn point was just under 1800 yards out, so I sat there and watched. Spitfire pops up. Crank in a touch of lead to allow for it's starting to roll on takeoff, and... *BOOM* Spitfire dies. Fix on that point. F4U and P-47. *BOOM* Two more kills. A-20. *BOOM* Another kill. Then the magic moment; a 262 popped up -- the field now being a layer back from the 'front', it must have felt safe. *BOOM* No more 262. Total 262 flight time, three seconds. I can only imagine what the 262 pilot was saying after spending 200 perks for 3 seconds on the runway, when as far as he could see, the sky was clear of enemy aircraft.

I got eight more long-range vulches before I ran out of ammo, and bailed rather than wait for someone to be stupid enough to wander into range of my pintle or bow machine guns long enough for me to shoot them down. Eighteen kills, not landed, but it did do wonders for my K/D that camp. And I'll never forget watching that 262 explode from a shot he probably never saw.

[WldThing]

Uhh best 262 kill, and most pleasureable was when i killed a 262 that was landing at a base full of enemy cons and all acks up...
I knew who was behind the 262, i dove down on him from 15k to kill him(good ole fun ) ... I got him as he was putting his gears on the runway, but sadly i died too after killing him (augered)

[HeLLcAt]

Best 262 Kill ever has to be when Me, Oct, and I think Cavalear were flying Yak-9U's and I was pretty good in this plane, didn't really have experience, so we were flying along I was leading the pack and I saw a 262 I was going about 300 he tried a loop and than I looped with him at about D150-50 I flew him into shreds...he blew up behind me I was so close to him. Was pretty awesome. My first 262 flight was when I saw an Ar234 low so I dove you know picking up incredible speed about 700MPH and I tried to pull up for a shot and bam no wings...I was very mad!

[HeLLcAt]

Also, when I was at my dad's...he never flies perk planes so I figured I would try my luck with rudder pedals and all, so I upped a 262 got pretty high...I got 1 kill on a spit on a great snapshot and than I wanted another kill to land 2 kills, so I dove on another spit, unbenounced to know I was there, I shot him at D200 after he knew he couldn't get away. My dad was pretty impressed. I landed the 2 kills and let my dad fly his dweeb La7!
