I’m actually curious about how people enjoy this plane. The last time I even touched this series of aircraft was when I spaded the Me 262 Jabo, and even looking at them now makes me physically flinch. Horrendous cannon velocity and pretty sluggish manuever

i never had fun playing Me 262 because high br if it was 6.7 br it would more awesome
My only hope for Me 262 HG I and HG II both they look so pretty and maybe faster?

The 50 mm one is kinda fun in ground Rb. I don’t really have plans to try out the other ones though…

Not a good sign. I was grinding the squadron ME-262. Probably going to stop and go grind gripen D instead.
I think the super low rating attacker one and the event one are really good, the 7.0 one is average if not a little subpar, and the rocket boosted ones just suck. You can do dumb vertical stuff to outstall people but without the rockets on it’s just identical to the 7.0 one and sucks.
The 50mm one is the only one worth using, the rest suck since they have suck crappy energy retentions and acceleration

I just hope the thing will have a better enery retention and perhaps a better cannon
they use same guns :( 😿
HG II
HG II is better at higher speed and fast to :D
HG I
Maybe HG I is better at turn because it’s faster and have bigger wings i could be wrong
would so awesome to see them !
unfortunately the only somewhat enjoyable ME262s are the squadron version and the rare event one.
the 50mm is okay and thats about it
(idk about the event one cuz i dont own it)
the normal 262 is just not good for its br and the rocket ones can face later sabers and mig15bis so i dont think they will be fun
the squadron one just looks like all 20mms and 30mms of the germans were slapped onto one 262 soo maybeeee its alright idk
Me 262 C-2b is much more fun to play.
All of them are kinda meh at best, even the C-2b. Why? They’re all bricks reliant on opponents making terrible mistakes to score kills given their low velocity guns, the idiotmode red markers of Air RB preventing most surprise attacks, and the fact that most of their opposition even at their own BR outrun, out-turn, and outmaneuver them.
Now, was the C-2b funny by catching people off guard who wrongly thought it was a normal 262? Absolutely - but the effort I put in to achieve those funny moments was disproportionately high for what I got out of the plane. I recognized the difference between “funny” and “effective.”
the squadron version having AIR SPAWN is a game-changer compared to the other ME 262s
thy wont be faster tho. The angled wing wasnt making it better for shwalbe because of low speeds
i enjoy the 262 sturmvogel and 50mm version as good attacker-fighter for their BR. But in air game mode? One good shwalbe was only the 6 cannon one, squadron. As it at least has some decent ballistics to get enemies.
Lower BR and addition of the 30mm HEAT shells would help and be fun.
262 needs a “modern jet treatrment”.
Could you fit 2xMK103 in the nose?
Yup.
Was it done IRL?
Yup.
Would they create any mass related issues? Nope, 2xMK103 + ammo is roughly same weight as 4xMK108.
This alone would have made standard 262 sooo much better.
Just retain A1/U1 with its ridiculous 6 gun setup and fit every other 262 with armanent that makes sense for the in-game use and that actually fits the plane without any real modifications needed.
It would still suck. But less than it does currently.

No, they are annoying when you are in a prop and a jet comes out of no where. Especially in higher tier prop bombers with the strike aircraft version that gets airspawn.
I use the 6.7 A-2a version in Air RB for BP tasks (kills with rockets <5 kg) from time to time and have to admit that the fun is rather limited as your game impact is almost non existent if you don’t go “all in” - the armament is besides the performance disadvantage vs 7.0+ post-war jets the main drawback.
Even as gaijin has de-nerfed the 50mm accuracy i don’t like the 6.3 version as the damage output has a very high RNG factor and the 50mm mine shell is hard to aim thx to missing tracer.
Yes regarding the 30mm MK 108 - the high speed maneuvering (>700 kmph) is from my pov rather good - the F-84 turns bad enough to be a preferred target.
Mhm - a jet coming out of nowhere is exactly the playstyle you need in a 262.
Based on my own observations in the 6.7 version full downtiers are the worst circumstances you can face as every plain 5.7 prop can dodge your 30mm shells for ages (as your shells need 1-2 working days to get on target) AND you are forced to protect your most valuable team mates at the same time. If you face JP & UK you have lost by default, only exception is if you have 1 or 2 BIs in your own team.
Regarding attacking bombers: This is imho the worst thing you can do with a 262 as even the slightest damage kills your top speed and both engines are “bullet-magnets” - and with the MK 108s you have to get way too close. Engine damage forces you to rtb and the game is usually over as you will get camped.
