Finally took one up last night and lost it. Famous last words were "Hey, I think that La7 is coming right at me" Heard 2 pings and was in tower. Doh!
-
Hey, I might be able to come around on that Ta-152 before he comes headon.
damn. maybe not.
---------------
i think i'm coming in a little fast on this landing.
*cruch* bang
yep
---------------
hmm, that P51 isn't going as fast as i thought he was.
oops. rammed him
-
"wow, this thing compresses fast...."
-
Losing a 262 is God's way of saying "run and don't engage anyone, you idiot! Park it!"
-
Free Grief Counseling! How'd you loose your 262?
rofl. Great title! Well, lets see, which 262 are we speaking of? I've destroyed about 5 so far, and the perk points are getting pretty thin. Hearing a jet engine get shot out is like getting kicked in the balls just before sex. :D
-
Before the guy post and says..
"i was closing on a b17 at 30k and he pinged me 4 times from 1.1k out and i fell to the earth..boom"
I just want to say it wasnt me in the b17, seriously! :D
(that guy had to be pissed, i woulda been)
I have no hard luck 262 story my self, cant offord one. :o
-
Only 262 Ive lost, was due to a bug in AH. For some reason occasionaly AH will just reset my fuel load out to 25% (and no its not the field not having fuel).
This happened last week and just as I aproached a flight of 6 B-17s my engins cutout. I managed to glide safely home, but was not farmiliar enough with the plane to land dead stick, overshot the runway.... :mad:
-
Lets see.....I've lost 3 in all. Two to the dreaded "Host Connection Lost" abyss and one to the "damn but don't this 262 have potent guns, I just blew up a P51 with one burst...crash! flew into the debris and spiraled to the earth" death.
First two only cost 100 but the second was a full blown 200.

LOL, what a colorful way of expressing that sensation <crosses legs> :)
Yea, that is an incredible sinking feeling. Same with going into the hangar and seeing that big, bad negative number.
Yup, turbines are fun, but pricey.

Well, there was the one I was flying 600mph inverted at 10 feet (and experienced redout), then there was the time I was strafing the cruiser in one, but I think if you want to get to the root cause it would have to be beer.

cuz we know it wasn't sex.....didn't you leave that in flordia?
doh!
-
Ah man,..it will take me 2 years to get enough perkies to fly that,....then I gotta read this and it just makes me nervous thinking about losing it in 2 seconds.
Can I have some pre-flight counseling?
-
If that were true I'd blame that one on beer as well, but as with the proverbial tree, there ain't no pictures so there wasn't no fatty :D
-
Lost one to a collision.
Lost a second one after flying for an hour and a half dodging a few planes with a squadmate.
I'm flying home on one engine with a F4U and N1K2 behind me. I turn around, make a pass on F4U- he runs home. I turn around heading back to friendly territory in a nose high turn.. computer locks up hard.
Reboot.
400 points gone. Tell you what, I ain't flying that thing no more.
-SW
-
lost 3000 perk points worth on the 262.
I have no more perks o fly it
-
262 vs 262 fight, I was winning and gaining on my target... d600...d300.. hes diving to evade... FIRE! MISS! dammit, twist a bit, he's filling my sights... *CRACK* lost my wings to a 620mph turn.
*sniff*. :(
-
Didn't I hear someone whining about a gun-packing sheep shooting them in there 262 on the runway!! That has got to be a funny classic!
BgMAW
-
On the arse end of a hurri... I did realize that 300 - 0 feet came that fast!
-
The first two I lost on takeoff. The Sheep thought that was priceless.
I'd love to have seen the look on that jug drivers face when I went by him at 750mph in the third one.... right into the mountain in front of him.
He prolly woulda found the look on mine priceless too.
-
"hmmm... i really need to check something on the web...no one is gonna catch my 262 anyway... i'll just alt-tab out for a few mins"
I read the rest of the pages while in the tower
[edit] I alt-tab'ed out to write this and guess what happened :D

I was flying her low around 450 MPH. A P-51 dove on me. I put it on the deck and looked back. <SMACK> Into a tree.....<G>
-
Whats a 262? is it in AH? Dont belive this till I see one... :D
-
First 2 to tree's before they were moved back. Third to minus's 262 in low slow turnfight on the deck, fourth to some newbie in a b17, 1.1k out 2 pings wing-gone.
Fifth - there is no fifth because I think temps are much better planes, and I can fly 3 for the price of 1 262.
:D
-
Lost one to compression, one to disco. Sucker can sit in the hanger for now. I'll keep the rest of my perks thank you!
Great thread though :)
-
I don't know how many I have actually lost, but I do know for a fact that I have never landed one!
-
Just lost 1 so far, cruisin up behind a mossie. Suddenly the closure rate quadruples. I think watermelon he's chopped his throttle. I pull up to avoid and guess what, the mossies pulls up into me. 1 wing gone.

I shot down my first 262 today. I was flying Yak9. 262 dives in on me(HO). I yank the nose up on my trusty ole yak and at extremely close range I fire a single 37mm shell into his wingroot. The 262 continued its dive, minus its left wing, until it smashed into the ground. I was actually laughing when I found out I had killed a 262.
-
I loost 262 at night because some SPIT DWEEB COLIDED WITH ME he was higher and he do not fire ANY bullet he jsut COLLIDED. I put some 30mm before collision so i got him.
:p
-
Btw i got 4 262 :)
2 in B26 while they did 6 OC attack :cool:
Next 1 i got while he was at 10k and i was 15k tempest....
But cant remember about 4th.
-

Lose them all, Ill never have enough points to fly one, really. Ha!
(noticed not one newbie responding, after 4 months of perk building,still at the 160 range, I see why.)
Whaaaaaaaa! Boohoo for me.
Fatty, insult this hideous whine of mine.
-
1- Coming out from a dive attack on a La7 I pulled out at 550IAS, and 4G more or less...sudennly I was flying a Mono-jet mono-wing Me262 ;)
2- running away from another La7 I came barely into the cover of a far away field ack (wich was at my 3 o clock, so givin an impossible shot). runnin at 500+mph IAS, 3K altitude and more than 1.5miles away, I immediatly was hit by 2 ack hits in a high deflection shoot. First killed one engine. Second killed me :(. (Acks are STUPID,sorry but it is that way)
3- After going back to base in a 7 kill streak I see a low typhoon. I dive on him thinking he's roped. he was not :D I ate hispanos :D
