me262 is a legendary aircraft for its era! it is a pinnacle of german engineering!
but in warthunder ,because of its current BR they feel a bit underpowered compared to their rivals in the matter of climb, speed, agility and turn rate!
and considering their armament of 4 30mm cannons ,which pack quiet a punch but has a velocity of a grenade launcher it is difficult to get more than 1or 2 kills in most of the matches!
by making it’s BR lower players could at least experience the aura of the first operational jet fighter of ww2!
IT would so much graceful for gaijin make changes in the BRs of some vehicle and add more WW2 stuff in the future instead of focusing on making some broken top tier stuff and making money from it !
BVVD legit said in the stream they’re giving up on WWII to add more modern vehicles.

That isn’t what he said
Yeah pretty much.
Look at what they have been doing for the past updates. Its modern vehicles and a sprinkle of WWII vehicles in trees that need it. USA, USSR, and Germany are saturated in WWII, I don’t expect them to add any more especially to those three. Their main priority is infantry and 5th gen air, both coming within an year or two.

this bit is true
this bit isnt. the ME 262 was one of the worst major service aircraft of ww2. It was frequently dunked on my mustangs, spitfires and tempests. It was too expensive and unreliable to ever be worth the luftwaffes time, that made it brilliant as it screwed germany even harder.
yea you would expect that armament on a jet to make it perform better, maybe its not the plane.
you mean the Gloster Meteor? its in game at the same BR and does decently well despite being a bit slower and much worse armed.
WW2 stuff still appears and will appear more in the future as the possible top tier additions dry out.
I feel embarrassed for the Germans having this wehraboo trash parrotted like its the early 2000s history channel here.
Having no clue is nothing to be ashamed of.
Whilst i agree that “pinnacle of German engineering” is way too much - the rest of your statement is pure nonsense.
You can google the kill claims (~5:1) and with some knowhow you would know that max 300 aircraft saw service whilst there were never more than 50 operational at the same time.
The majority of the ~100 operational losses were achieved by the 2 bomber units which used the A-1a and A-2a. You can google these losses too.
The leading jet aces of all time are 262 pilots 😂
LMAO - there is zero evidence that the implemented F MK 3 with improved thrust ever saw combat in WW 2…😂
Feel embarrassed for your service record and try to replace fact-free opinions with knowledge 😂
If you read between the lines, that’s exactly what he said.
There is a very long thread about the BR placement of 262s:
It boils down that wt meta for AB and RB is not supporting the 262s…
Me 262 shot down almost 600 enemy planes. Considering they faced o an overwhelming enemy, with lack of jet fuel and their airbases constantly under attack…its a good figure. I doubt there were more than 50 jets operational at the same time.
Ingame they just suffer due to their BR placement and that there are no bomber targets. Almost no one playing bombers makes its optimized anti-bomber 30mm armament pointless. In dogfight situations 30mm gun velocity is too low, extremly difficult plane in WT. Difficult to get enough lead to hit any fighter plane with angling shots and low speed/high bullet drop also makes it difficult to hit straight flying enemies. Except they’re close.
mostly bombers. In other words, fish in a dry barrel
not considering the targets were B17s lol
It suffers from german mains and standard undertiered USSR stuff.
Britain has under tiered stuff aswell LF mk9 at 5.7 can beat most 6.0s in a 1v1 with ease most german aircraft are over br’d
