I know it has been discussed before & it is not so much of a wish on my part just wanted to post this info from the stormbirds web site they have added a lot of new information on the 262. http://www.stormbirds.com/warbirds/tech_r4m_rocket.htm

Those would be cool to have. :aok
-
HAVE FUN SHOOTING SPITS WITH THOSE
-
I want to know why he calls the 262 "shark-like." :huh
-
What we need is that TA-182(?) with the wire guided missiles. I know only 3 prototypes were made and the Soviets captured them so we can't really prove that they were made, but it would be cool to have them. :D :devil
-
that would be cool, they should also add the 1,000lbs bombs that it carried to bomb allies in teh ardennes.. until Hilter realized that it was best as a fighter.
-
the version of 262 we have is A-1 right? the A-1a had provisions for 24 R4Ms under wings. dont think A-1 could carry em

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the 262A-1a was the standard fighter version. I think the R4M carrying 262s were also just the standard fighter version fitted with the racks and rockets.

I found this picture that shows what happened to this b24 from the rockets of a 262. http://flickr.com/photos/21734563@N04/2112941171/in/pool-usaaf/ http://flickr.com/photos/21734563@N04/2112941421/in/pool-usaaf/ http://flickr.com/photos/21734563@N04/2113721262/in/pool-usaaf/

We have air to air rockets already and no one uses them. The few who do use them usually can't hit jack with them.

Not on the 262 we don't.

The rockets are actually quite easy to use. Just park your 110g 1k back from a set of buffs, and let them fly. If you're gaining ground, shoot from further out, if you're losing, from closer.

I have no problem using them myself. But the majority of players don't use them for AA, they use them AG. I,m just saying that since they are not used now, what makes you think they would be used on a 262.

R4Ms would be salvoes of 24 instead of 2 or 4, have the same trajectory as 30mm rounds, and need only 1 hit to bring down a bomber.
