Proposal to Add the Messerschmitt Me 262 HG III to War Thunder
Historical Justification
The Me 262 HG III Hochgeschwindigkeit was an advanced and secret development of the Me 262, aimed at increasing the platform’s speed and aerodynamic efficiency. Although it never entered service due to material shortages and the collapse of the Reich at the end of the war, the project did in fact exist, with recorded aerodynamic studies.
Technical Characteristics
Engines: 2 × Heinkel HeS 011, 2863 lbf (12.75 kN), 1950 lbs (885 kg)
Armament: 4 × 30mm MK 108 cannons
Estimated Speed: 1050–1100 km/h
Wings: 45° swept wings
Fuselage: Extended and cleaner design than previous models, resembling the profile of later supersonic fighters
Comparison with Vehicles Already in the Game
War Thunder already features numerous experimental or prototype vehicles that never entered active service, such as:
E-100, Object 279, the American T29 to T34 series, Ho-Ri Production & Prototype, OF-40, UDES 33, Vickers Mk 7, etc.
This shows that War Thunder already embraces vehicles based on design studies, prototypes, or limited production runs.
