I have done dumb things to lose 262 points...

[SlipKnt]

I have never been above 700 perkies in fighters because of my ignorance in the 262.

The very first one I lost I was relatively new.  Had JUST enough points and started rolling down the runway (BOOM = tower).  Lesson learned, up further away and have SA..

I have learned to NOT go into a HO situation.  Again, I am nosing to the plane, 2.0 to 1.8 K I see tracers.  I laugh to myself a little, nose down a touch and wind up in the tower...

I have learned that approaching bombers from behind is BAD!

Flying into a cluster of 15 to 20 sets of B17swill vaporize you quickly.

I learned to NEVER attempt to de-ack a V base in a 262.  Ever...

I learned that wirbles actually CAN get a good shot on you regardless of how fast you are going.  There are actually good people that know how to LEAD a plane...

So I am struggling to keep an amount of perkies up so I can up the occasional 262.

I defended a V base being overwhelmed and actually saved the base.  I knocked down 3 planes and an M3.  One of my engines get oiled so I RTB.  A TA152 comes diving in and starts the chase.  I finally get to a point that I am slowly pulling away on one engine and JUST outside my DAR with some squaddies upping to defend so I can attempt to land.  The 190 chased me over 3 sectors. 

I get discoed.  When I finally get back in it said I was shot down by AI.  When I got discoed my plane leveled and surely dropped down in speed allowing the 190 to run me down.  When I returned I was in the tower and less the 160 to 180 perkies I took to up the plane.

Question about this,  Had I stayed logged off would it have timed out like I never took the flight and give me back my perkies?  Just curious!

Any other good lessons learned in the 262?

I was maingunned in a 262 by a t34 while going very very fast.

I have tried to main gun 262s but I haven't connected yet!  I hope you gave him a salute after you got over the fact that, yes, that just happened!  LOL

If you look closely, you'll see a fresh wirble coming out of the VH

No..  Disco and points are gone...

You can easily avoid cons diving on you from any altitude by turning a few degrees left or right across  the enemy's nose. When they break to head into you reverse your turn to the opposite direction to get the enemy at your six . Most don't know how to intercept your flight path and will lose you in this process.

The ground and or water touching your airplane at speed is bad m'kay.

I've had several Me262s consent to HOs with my Mossie.  I've always wondered why they did that...

Need more perk points?   

Go into mid war and fight the Knight Horde.
Sometimes the perk bonus is up to 5.0

Try getting killed in a 262 by a shorebattery as they fire on a CV.

[darkzking]

its really dumb but it works well...... find a 49th mission and then ram 49Merlins bombers with your 262

After a disco I think you have 5 minutes to log back in to resume flight.  Staying logged off doesn't erase the sortie.

Also, A.I. are all entry-level French pilots.

I learned that the rudder isn't as bad as most make it to be, after I compressed and ripped the wing tips off my 262.   I landed, gears down, quite well.

well whenever I feel like losing perks I just up at 262, I don't fly too much anymore but the last two sorties I had with the 262 the first one consisted of me sitting on the runway with my squad can accidentally hit the trigger and kill shot myself.  the second one I was diving on a bomber and got one engine got hit and fire insude and I exploded. I don't think I'll fly it to 262 for a while lol
