No armoured glasses whatever (on ww2 fighters) could stop 12mm, leave alone 20mm guns.

Be grateful for engines dont ignite when you pull your throttle too quick, like they did in RL afaik.

Personally i have two problems with 262 - i cannt hit anything smaller than hangar wall and cannt land it w/o rolling out of runway.

What about Chuck Yeager? He said a 20mm from a 190 shattered his wind screen when he went for a HO pass. If it wasnt a 20mm then it was a 13mm. Even then his wounds wernt enough for him to black out and die from like in AH.

What you trying to disprove? I didnt said any hit in cockpit (by 12mm and above) must kill you.

It could be worse, it could be modelled (and then not corrected in 4 or 5 years) like the Mosquito.

Yes but when you die in a mossi you dont loose 250-400 perks.

Perks is just AH money. Earn em, spend em or save em.

They cant be sold on ebay yet, but im saving them for the future trade-yer-perks-for-real-money program that Hitech is launching to secure his pension.

Posted this in another thread. 20mm hit on a Beaufighter TFX most likely from ship mounted AA. Think armoured glass was there for a reason.

Nice pic Trikky, but looks like round penetrated glass.

If I remember his hands and face were cut, but he was able to ditch his plane.

my main "problem" with 262s is that they can take many 50cal and even a few 20mm hits, but for some strange reason 303s from lancasters really do hurt... its not even funny.

According to the book, the pilot was 'temporarily blinded' by dust and splinters but landed it safely back at base.

Fly Knights and you´ll only lose 90-100 perkies with your 262
