you better use the early 262 AND play ground combat too do that. You spam rockets to M163s/ZSU-57-2s and that brings kills

Does this work with guns in the nose in the game?
There are actually pure Air RB players like me playing wt. Going for more or less helpless players in ground vehicles is no challenge…

for my humble opinion
262A-1 is a 6.7 + interceptor spawn.
People who are scared of the 262 are scared for nothing, only the fact that maybe they won’t be able to chase everything down in their P-51Hs.
262 is a piece of cake to counter, keep your eyes on it, if you know where he is, he stands no chance to ever landing a shot on you. And since a jet takes an eternity to accelerate to a “safe speed” that cuts out any fancy energy manouvers like hammer heads.
Look at the He-162, it’s almost as fast as the 262, is more agile, has better guns and it is 6.0
262 only beats it in a little more speed, Burst mass and high speed control and agility.
262’s cannons are buns, actually buns, sure they remove the sky with each shot, the problem is that they barely fly 300m from the nose of the 262 and don’t carry that much ammo, the 262 will miss a lot of shots and will need to land a lot.
That’s where you are supposed to kill early jets, they are made to go fast at the cost of agility, acceleration and climbrate.
Also, jets are loud, you will know if a 262 is loitering nearby and if you are quick enough, even react to an ambush in time. Specially the 262 since it needs to practically be next to you (below 450m, past that and it is impossible to land a shot, which also means it sucks in headons, yikes! the 262’s curent BR is practically a miracle since stadistics should have taken it down a long time ago! )

Well, you can try, but don’t expect to have fun or hit anything :P
Love how when you make a turn your 262 starts heading to the ground lmao the feeling of being a flying brick is real with it
Just a question for the community
Dose anyone think that the me262 at 7.0 and 7.3 should be down tiered ?
I think so for realism becasue I went up against a f86 sabre which is a 50s jet not from ww2
If anyone agrees or disagrees lmk your opinion on that

The realism argument for matchmaking does not work
We already have 50s tanks at like 2.7

yes
(6.7 would be fine)
(the rocket ones should prob also go down by -.3)
but not for that reason
my reason is just balancing tbh

Unironically a better plane. Climbs better, turns better, actually hits its target (no potato thrower 30mil), and by the time the 262 gets to its cruise speed it can literally be caught by a spitfire (pretty much anything atp). The ONLY thing the 262 really has is top speed. Genuinely wouldnt be far fetched to drop them to 6.7.

Spitfire doesn’t really accelerate well enough to catch up with Me262 tho.

Not sure if your remark was a joke or not - have in mind the sole reason why this post-ww2 aircraft F Mk 24 (first service 1946, just a few F Mk 21 saw combat in ww2) got down-BRd from 7.0 was that the F-104 pushed the MiG-15 and F-86 to 8.0…
This is imho not correct - i killed several F Mk 24s in a plain 6.0 He 162 - the Spit never has a chance to get in gun range vs a proper flown jet - even in a dive after 870 km/h there is nothing left.
This looks reasonable from the perspective of an experienced pilot - if you consider that the majority of players lack any experience in flying a 262 properly you can argue that 6.7 changes nothing in Air RB as all the props you fight behave like A6Ms compared to a 262 - so in order to hit anything you have to push them low whilst you can’t afford to get too slow as otherwise the 3-5 guys chasing you for 10 minutes can catch up…😂
I saw a lot of replays of Ground RB matches in which the speed advantage for surprise attacks works quite nice, the lack of markers there makes a huge difference. But for Air RB the world looks difrerent.

this thing is a 6.3 at best
like no sh*t the 262 would stomp this thing
the lfmk9 spit is literally better than the f mk24
this means nothing
all you show is an overtiered aircraft
(this would be like saying that the 109k4 does not deserve 5.7 cuz the a6m5 is at 5.7 and far worse)

they are pretty good for their BRs, the players are just comically trash. the 50mm ME 262 should be at 7.0 too, stupidly OP for 6.0
its also “accurate” as the mk3 meteor which entered service within a week or so of the me 262 is also 7.3.
