Mk24 completely mogs 262
even the worse J6K mogs 262
id doubt that
but both of them are definitely way simpler to play
262 accelerates slowly, loses speed badly in turns, climbs poorly, and has shit guns. All either of those really have to do is get above it and dive on one.

My like was for your first sentence 👍
But regarding the analog tracking computer - i have serious doubts.
Have in mind that the 262s had severe issues with the very slow cruising speeds of B-17s. As the B-29s were way faster, they would have been a much easier target. There are a lot of books / memoirs from both sides describing the attack patterns.
Regarding the assisted aim - if you look up the data you end up at around 16 B-29 losses to MiG 15s - whilst B-29 crews claimed 16 MiG 15s shot down. If you are aware of the overclaiming by the USAF in Korea - you should use everything from that war with great skepticism. Just look how how the F-86 kill claims melted away - from 11:1 to ~ 1.3:1.
So even as the MiG 15 was faster and had better high alt performance: The problems for the fighter were the same: High closing speeds, limited time to fire - and heavy armament necessary to get “one-pass” kills. That means technically that the effective firing window for the gunner vs 262s is just by a a few seconds longer. And this does not consider the usage of R4M rockets.
Remember the ammo too.
It won’t be like P-51s/P-47s vs A6Ms where the american in practice have infinite tries on the attacks.
262 has 100 rounds per gun at most and 80 at least.

and unlike those planes, the guns are just straight ass

That’s what beating them is. Beating just means winning. It doesn’t dictate that you need to win by shooting in aerial combat. If the ground crew and anti-air crew cannot protect said crafts preparing to take off and/landing.
Then you still beated them.
Literally, the only thing you need to do to NOT die agaisnt a Me-262 its just turn and not fly on a straight line 😭
The moment you force the 262 to turn to get a chance at aiming at you, it will bleed lot of its energy.
I play em and their gameplay style is just climb with rockets boosters and dive enemies and try to maintain your energy at all cost. Till you find a f86 or something with afterburner or someone with missiles.
The 262s are very limited
Thank you, Mr Obvious.
