sweet :aok

It looks really great, but..... Can we please get some turbine flame sprites ? At >90% throttle or something?
-
Nice. Have to build up my perkies after my last 262 crash. :furious
-
Oh and...
Thanks HTC, any got details on this plane?
-
were the 262 and 163 added at the same time to the game? mabey theys redo the komet , it dont really matter to me, im coming back in in a few months looks like its gonna be great, especcially with a new grapics card if my dads pc is fried
-
were the 262 and 163 added at the same time to the game?
No.
ack-ack
-
Glad to see it. Id like to see the 163 spruced up too. 90% of the guys that fly this plane will still be dweebs.
-
I'm gunna waste 2k perkies to learn 262 when this update goes live! :pray
-
Can I see a picture of it with no wings. This is the way my 262 usually ends up looking... right Reverend?
-
Looks Bad Ass... :rock hmmmmmm, 2 weeks?
-
:aok
-
IL2 and the Typhoon are next, shhhh.
:noid

Just yesterday a 262 chased my Arado for three sectors. I dont know what he was doing but he would make a run at me and I would evade then he would pull off 6k before trying again. His final pass was left to right and when I broke left he snapped his wings off and was a missile at 45 degrees. I was out of icon before he hit the water.
Jumped a 262 that was feeding at the furball-water hole. He tried to dive away from my pony and hit the ground right next to his own runway. So close! When he realized he was compressed he must have pulled his cable out of the wall. It was much later I got the kill message.
Two minutes later a 262comes right at me but pulls to his right when he realizes its a HO. I pulled 5gs and raked him from nose to tail.
Both guys had a sortie/kill percentage of 20 (20 sorties per kill).
-
Sweet I like the 262. Will be nice to check out this new one.
-
Looks good.
The Me163 was not added at the same time as the Me262 was.
The Mossie was though.... :P
-
That would be AWESOME! (But will never happen)

Save your money Yenny... Go to this crazy place called Offline Arena and learn there!
I'm gunna waste 2k perkies to learn 262 when this update goes live! :pray
I'm a sucker too sir!!!
It was his own fault for sure, but somehow I took pity on him...
-

In other words it probably took them a year to get the necessary perks for that sortie ;)
That reminds me of a 262 kill I once achieved. Baltic map, we had the lower corner and the enemy had captured the southern airfield closest to our HQ. I was patrolling @ 12k over that airfield and was almost on way home when I noticed a plane taking off. To my utter surprise someone tried to take off in a 262. Of course you know what happened, as soon as he was out of his ack umbrella my shells were raking his jet.
Later on I checked his stats out of curiosity and it appeared it was probably the first 262 he ever rolled in that game, being flying for 3 or 4 tours at that point. But he forgot to notice the flashing base, the dot on dar and apparently never even looked around when taking of from a front line base. It was his own fault for sure, but somehow I took pity on him...

Wooooooooooooooooweeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeee!!!!

Your tale reminds me of my first 262 vs 262 fight in the MA.....and i won :D

And once again the P-40 is overlooked!! :lol
Very Nice HTC! :aok :salute

With that sortie/kill ratio, how many sorties do you think it took him to save up for a 262? Dude, you realize you probably just made that guy quit the game, right? ;-)
-

How many US aircraft have been done?
Yeah, most.
Stop whining about the P-40 like it is forgotten. It is only forgotten if you compare it to the US planeset. Loioking at any other nation's set and it is nothing special like you seem to think.

I wasn't whinning about it not being redone. I know many other planes need to, and will be, redone before the P-40 is even considered (seeing how it is rarley used in the MA). I be honest I would actually like to see the A6M's redone soon! :aok
-
The Muppets are going to have some FUN!!!!! :aok
-
On that note, What happed to Fester? PM if ya like.
-
TOO.....MUCH.....NEW.....EYEC ANDY!!!!
:noid :aok
-
Great work HTC! :aok
-
ahh I love the smell of taters in the morning. Now it looks even nicer when it's plummeting to the ground after I rip my wings off :)
-
Animated flame sprites please.... Superfly or Waffle can pull it off nicely :)
-
Wait a minute! All that SAPP Scotch was sent to get the P38H!
:furious :cry

Couple of weeks ago there was a Bish 262 trying to pick planes in a furball. He dives in on me, overshoots but I get a lucky shot off and take out one of his engines, which slowed him enough for me to chase him down for the kill and I return back to the furball. A few minutes later, another 262 comes in, tries to rope but he definitely misjudged his own E state and mine because I got him as he stalled out at the top of his climb. After that kill, I return again to the furball and to my surprise a few minutes later, yet another 262. This time I'm his focus, he makes two passes which are easily avoided, he comes in again over shoots and breaks into a hard right turn for a complete circle which results in me shooting him down. HAT TRICK! 3 262 kills in one flight. Lucky for me the 262 driver was about as clueless as they come.
ack-ack

Wow. It would never occur to me to try to rope someone in my 262. Geez. At the speed I like to keep at, I'd probably zoom up about 7 or 8k, then the rope wouldn't exactly work out too well would it?
Clueless that guy may have been, but perkless he certainly is now.
-

Fester moved and has yet to get Internet where he lives. :aok
-
oh boy, a jet upgrade :rolleyes:
-
woot! they are updading the 262 !!!
thanks htc
HEY.......
just out of curiousity, does anyone know if the original tail dragger design of the 262 ever saw combat?
-

No, it didn't. Only a few prototypes were build as taildraggers, number 5 (V5) was the first one to be equipped with tricycle landing gear

As always this begs the question of. . . Next friday?
Lol. Good to see but I want more lol.

Hey, HTC....

Oh god please yes, with the added .30 cal.
I would be very pleased.

I'd like to see more non-American stuff upgraded/added. This patch is looking pretty good so far.

typhie / temp pretty pwwease!
Hopefully one new plane makes it in!

Spiral climb, that way you can still out climb them while staying much closer but also out of their guns. Then soon as you see their plane start to give pounce over for the kill, just like in any other plane.

Let him learn on his own, if he's going to talk beyond his experience..
HTC if you're reading this... Flame sprites? Please? It'd look awesome and not take much... :)
-
Talk beyond my experience? I said it would never occur to me to try to rope someone in a 262. That's true, it didn't occur to me. I was talking within my experience. Now, thanks to Strafing's post, I'm thinking about it. It would still require me to lose more speed than I'm used to letting go of in the 262, but I'm willing to adjust my paradigm to learn and execute successful tactics.
Thanks, Strafing!
-
Well he's one of those DFC guys, so you have to give him credit for being helpful..
-
Sweet, 262 - didn't see that one coming. I have a few close up shots of a real one inc. some cockpit shots if you need em HTC.
-
looks nice, was just gonna post about it, wen i saw this thread :O

just fly the plane and kill stuff, this would involve roping, and full flap turnfighting, par for the course for 262 pilots in here! :aok

Thanks -
The plane is based off of "White 1" Eprobungs Kommando, Lechfeld June/July 1944.
Beavis: "uhh...he said "pro-bungs"..huh huh...." :lol
-
Hey Waffle.. How much booze for flames out the engines? :D
-
R4Ms too please :pray
-
how bout some eggs?
-
Looks good...hope its not a pansy like before :noid

Nice, but I think doing the 262 over other aircraft is a disappointment. When there are still far more commonly used and non-perked aircraft waiting for updates...
<S>...-Gixer

I thought this too, at first, but the 262 is one of the few aircraft that not only is on the old 3d model, but it's mirrored- this severely limits the amount of skins you can do (like the F6F).
