Title: Request: Me262A2 "Sturmvogel"
Post by: Heretik on February 12, 2005, 01:46:44 PM

I'd really like the attack version of the 262.  This could possibly be handled similar to the Bf110 loadouts, add an optional loadout with only 2 cannons and a pair of bombs.

Am I the only one who likes the idea of bombing stuff in a 200 perk plane?

I think thats a good idea. I would say use bomber perks but with the nose cannons it would still have a huge edge in A2A combat. Were there any 262's produced without the cannons that could be used as a bomber?

Well especially since, for a time, 9 out of 10 262s being made were ground attack aircraft.  

I'm not sure which version it was, but the 262 could also carry 50 little rockets.  How about some of those HT?

My understanding was that the Me262A-2a could carry upto 2 x 500Kg bombs.

It is really an attack air craft in the role of  e.g. a Typhoon

Exactly.  An attack aircraft is exactly what I want.  I'd fly even the current 262 10x more if I could fly in attack mode.

Nothing better than 600mph strafing runs with quad 30mm's.

YEEHAW!
