As annoying as it can be when they show up in the game, I have to give a big "No" to this one.  The Me262 is a notable part of WWII aviation history and has a place here.

262's are no harder to evade than, say, a 190 or P-51. They are by no means uber.

I don't fly 262s, and they can be a pain when you are in with a bunch of other birds and they just run through with those cannon, but there is no reason to get rid of the 262 in game.

P51s had superior high-altitude performance to the 262, also jumped them when they were busy killing te bombers, or chased down the injured ones rtbing (Walter Nowotny).
Juggler, i see your point, 262 wins, but in a boring way, it has to extend-rope etc. The only planes i like to scissor against, is the 190 series (i often lose tho : ). Jets are superior, but winning an 1v1 in them is too boring for me.

When I get jumped in my 262 if find it very easy to get a overshootnon the enemy. They are normally going way to fast and overshoot and since they are desperate for the kill they will cross in front to start another attack, and when that happens....BOOM!

Are you mad?

Yes. There was a fairly successful 262 "mission" yesterday which resulted in half a dozen plaguing the skies. It was all in defense of a V-base. It was the most practical use of the 262 I'd seen. The enemy air presence was pushed back.

i have to ask though...vafii, why the kneejerk reaction all of a sudden? it's not like they were just introduced last week...and lately in any horde base attack you find at least one buzzing around looking for a pick, easy enough to avoid, unless your situational awareness sucks.

The P-51 can turn well for 180 degrees or so to kill something once it bleeds the victims E and sets on its tail. As for the 190...I tried to make it into a fighter, I really did.......

The 262 has a very high wingloading, very low thrust-weight, difficult to aim guns, and for some reason they ruined the forward view. And its probably BETTER in AHII than it was in real life. (I've never set the engine on fire or had a flameout by moving the throttle too quickly in AHII.) You don't want the first of its kind in any new technology, including jet fighters. Honestly, I think the perk price should be lower.

Title: Re: Remove the 262!
Post by: EagleDNY on May 16, 2011, 06:41:53 PM
It is highly perked, and therefore pretty rare.  If a 262 shoots you down in a fighter, you weren't paying attention because any sort of break turn pretty much leaves them shooting by you with no hope of a shot. 

Title: Re: Remove the 262!
Post by: Plazus on May 16, 2011, 07:20:25 PM

It is fine where it is at. Reducing the the 262 perk price would increase the frequency of 262s flying in game. With an increase of 262s, there could be some gameplay balance issues.

No, it definitely takes some getting used to.  I usually find that the first-time pilots will lose one in 1 of 3 ways:

1.  Dive until compression makes it a lawn dart.
2.  Jerk a fully fuel loaded 262 around until a wingtip shreds off in some impossibly high-G maneuver.
3.  Land one at too high a speed and run off the end of the runway.

Just as an FYI - I've been flying a long time and have lost one ALL 3 WAYS!  I call that PILOT ERROR 0 - Monkey too stupid to fly correctly.

No, the 163 needs to be removed from the game, with only 8 kills during the war it really had no impact on the war at all. The 262 in AH needs to be only at bases near the HQ/strats and min perk of 500. :salute

i have very rare encounters with 262s. shot down 1, and been shot down by 2. (second time was today by bigamer)

i have a rather funny tale involving the 163&262.


took off  in a b25, was heading to bomb the rook city.

got bounced halfway there by a nikki (believe it was snailman, ik it was someone who comes on the forums)

fought the nikki off, ended up getting a kill on it.

once i was over the city, i got bounced by 2 163's.

i spent maybe 10 mins kicking hard rudder turns, dodging there Bnz attempts,

i went into a shallow dive to get away from them, and i get lucky. ether they lost sight of me, or ran out of gas, but i got away.

i went NOE to the water, maybe only 60ft above it? pretty darn low.

was trying to make it home, had some bad damage (top turret shot out, elevator shot off).

i ended up flying straight into a furball happening in the middle of the sea between 2 bases.

i was trying to sneak below it, then i spotted a 190 coming straight at me, but a little above.(i dont think he saw me)


i being the impulsive person i am, lifted the nose up, exposing myself, and took the shot, downing the 190.

only problem is that while i was shooting the 190 down, a 262 was coming up on my tail fast.

ended with me having to ditch in the water  :(

the 262 is pretty devestating in the right hands, but its rare to come across.

One day in the MA I organized a Stuka mission escorted by Bf-109E4's and F4's.  On the way to our target we were attacked by a 262.  After three passes Bruv finally got me.  All the while I was still lugging my 1800 kg bomb.

So I re-upped and soon I had another 262 bothering me.  He tried for a sector or a sector and a half to kill me before he finally left.  I then made it to my target and dropped my 1800 Kg bomb.

I mean really, a fighter that can't kill a heavy Stuka should be removed from the game?

A secret report to President Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1960 (Regarding the German ME262):

"During that time the German's Literally flew rings around our fighters and bored holes in our bomber formations with complete impunity....For example, 14 fighter groups escorted the 1,250 B-17 raid on Berlin March 18 [1945]--almost a one-for-one escort ration. They were set upon by a single squadron ofME-262's which knocked down 25 bombers and 5 fighters, although outnumbered roughly 100 to 1. The German's lost not a single Plane."

Also, was noted that had the German' been able to get them deployed in force to the French coast they could have denied us (Allies) air superiority and frustrated the Normandy Landings and might even have compelled us (Allies) to work our way up into Europe via the Italian Route.

The ME262, regardless of how I NEVER have enough perks to fly em anymore lol, belongs in AH.
