R4M for 262's

[Zacherof]

262's carried 24 of the R4M rockets on wooden racks

Fired in salvos or all at once. Similar trajectory to the MK-108 tater so the standard Revi gunsight was retanied

since the 262 cost 250 everytime I go to use it I might as well take all the poof makers I can get.

And I'll happily take them on a D-9

considering the perk cost...don't get into a turn fight...learn to pick better...and use a 152 to practice killing bombers before you use a 262 for bomber hunting.

who said anyhing about turn fighting. I have a 21 to 1 kill death ratio in that bird. I know how use it reasonably well, and aim the taters Most kills are someone taking off or landing , or bombers below 15k.

are you saying most of your kills are from vulching and picking?

vulching no. If your more than 2k away from your field I consider you fair game. Say what you want, call it what you want. My other kill come fromBelow them.

If your low, or slow not my problem. This game is not about fairness.
If your SA is bad not my problem. I'm an oppurtunist. Yes I love getting down and dirty placing skill against skill, but If I see a free kill with minimum risk involved I'm a bad guy?

And in the rare case that I do vulch, not my problem that guy was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Plain and simple, I use the 262 to bust hordes, kill the goons, and kill them if I can get a gun solution.

I'm sorry for being unfair and not giving someone(bish for example) a fair fight cause given the chance they ho and only ho and run for ack.

I feel we are being cheated. Get 'em on our lufty birds that carried them.

No worries Zach.  Kill em all and let HTC sort it out.

exactly!
  pew pew!!!

     Problem with the R4Ms is the same one the 262s have.  There are no prectical limits to the numbers you can deploy.
The logistical concerns that they had to deal with in real life don't exist in AH. 

[gyrene81]

logistical concerns can be "simulated" with eny and perks...

- no. Like the 163 the 262 did not play a big enough roll in WW2 so neither should really be in the game to start with

true, but they are icons of a desperate nation at war.

I'm not making a ridiculous  wish saying a want the shadow cell 50mm rockets on a 163, but a weapon that was used and helped to achieve kills. And might as well give them to the other aircraft that carried them.
