I think that there are a lot of skilled Me163 pilots out there.
I learnt how to engage bombers in the old Warbirds 2 sim years ago. Where you would have to take a long patient time to set up a frontal attack to survive an uber-auto-gunnner at 30000 feet.
These days I fly the Me163 like a 109. Fly up and ahead, and come past in slashing or head on attacks at high speed, with a hard break /dive away.
This tour, I have 14 kills in the 163 and no deaths. At least 11 of these are bombers, whos pilots have taken 30-60 minutes to fly to the enemy field, just to get shot down by a punk(me) who took 2 minutes to rocket to 30000 feet.
I think that Muckmaw has a fair point. I will catagorically state that no escort fighter can intercept or defend against me in a 163. I am unstoppable.
I will not run out of fuel and be caught gliding either, as I am too smart for that. (keep a bit in reserve).
Its not like I am the greatest pilot in Aces High. If I can do this, and there are 500 people online, at least 10 hotshots will be buzzing around in 163 as well.
Ive been waiting years for an online 163. But they are probably a bit perk-cheap for the impact they have. But I wouldnt ant anyone to remove them for the Main Arena.
You HAVE to be desperate to fly one
Usually your team is going to lose a map well before a Me163 is usefull
