I was up there for the bombers. If only I had brought typhoon, and other Allies would've listened to me about bomber raid coming to a9.
Btw... How many 234s did I get. I only got credit for 1 kill, but I know I got oil on some more and oil for both engines on a couple 234s.
Redlegs I know you got more than we would have liked.
Amazing that Redlegs, a lone P51 was able to take down a few 234s, the 262 is uber isn't it? I mean, the very presence of a 262 should have caused his P51 to burst into flames. I mean, from the talk here he should have just stayed on the runway and ran to the forums to complain...
Reality Check...
A 262 is probably THE WORST fighter to take on a bomber defense mission. We did it for fun, never seen so many 262's. If people had attempted like Redlegs, we probably wouldn't have even made it to the target area.
262 can't turn at speed, it can't accelerate for crap. It hemorrhages E like an overprivaledged kid in a rave. It's easy prey to a skilled 51 pilot, and even more so a somewhat skilled Tempest pilot. On top of all of that, 90% of the axis pilots (including myself) have no idea how to use a 262 effectively.
The whines in here are beginning to remind me of my 6 month old... I'm afraid I don't have enough pacifiers for all of you...
