Advice on flying the Dreaded ME262 requested.

If you had the E/speed/alt advantage on the other 262 you should of avoided that HO at all costs.  Good way to loose a lot of perkies in a fight that's already yours.  You got lucky to of survived it otherwise, but these things happen anyways given it can be hard at times to tell if your closing in on a target's 12 or 6 in a speedy 262 (A favorite trick of mine in defending myself against one trying to BnZ me).

  but, i didnt HO him, thats me 200 off his 6.

Ah, so you were, my mistake, hard to tell with him in flames , and I could of sworn some of the tracers looked like they were comming at you.

I can tell you what not to do. Don't blast off the last 10 rounds into the runway, while landing your first flight, with a couple kills to boot, & accidentally kill shoot yourself because, someone up's in front of you, just as your wheels touched down, costing you 135 points , and a lot more embarrassment.....

My most boneheaded 262 loss (other than plummeting straight down compressed on flight 1), was while teaching a squaddie to land his 262. I was flying formation with him and talking him through what to do on final. He got slow, but I wasn't watching my speed. I saw him start to skid, then spin in. I was just thinking "poor sob" when I did the same thing. Doh!
