Theres a lot of props you could have picked to call undertiered and you picked a one trick pony, it turns stupid well (probably a little too well but most props do) and cant climb as its engine dies from altitude fast.
an actual undertiered plane is the tempest mkV with 47mm guns, its literally untouchable for all props until 5.3 as it just flies away like they are standing still.
…not really at all. they just arent turnfighters, good damage on shells and good dive speeds means you just boom and zoom. Spits and zeroes cant catch you if you know how to play them.
262 is not much different to the canon mustang, MB5 or thunderbolt or any other speed based plane that struggles to turn with its peers. its on you if you chose to turnfight or get caught too slow.
there are other planes at the br that do BNZ 30 times better for example P38 P51-C and H Ki44s depends on the brackets and those spits can catch you cause they almost always outclimb you
For example FW-190A8 doesnt get any advantage at 5.0 so your forced to head on most times as everything at 5.0 out climbs you
only Good BNZ planes for germany are the 190 Ds
Bf109 K4 for example at 5.7 faces both the LF MK-9 and the YAK-3U regularly and thats your own BR gaijin save you if you face P51 H5s
compared to what im used to with .303 browning machine guns they hit like a truck mate.
ive played the BF 109s and the MG 151has brilliant damage (using the stealth belt, i use mg17s as a ranging gun on it) very good planes provided youre not trying to turn with the japanese or british planes.
So is there any real documentation of this kill claim? like can anybody but the seven guys trying not to end up in the Geneva gallows or soviet gulags confirm this?
The actual plane may have been faulty but its physiological affect on allied bombers and airmen were evident. (this was also the case with the V1 and V2 rockets which were although very inaccurate, they were absolutely terrifying hearing them randomly hit someone’s poor house and the possibility of it hitting your house was enough to make quite a lot of people scared in the later stages of WW2)
Is there actually a german Me 262 version with different armament? Like 20mm cannons? Maybe a test bed or prototype? Or a least planned to do it? This could improve 262 expierience in WT.
There is one existing one with the 3 different type of machine guns, 2 108s, 2 103s, 2 151s.
Proposals were made for more 103 carrying guns, although I would have said 103 + 151 is the best shot, even in like a 1+2 or 2+2 combo. But sadly nothing seem to have had those.
I mean I am on stealth shells now, since they aren’t likely to hit, and it’s a mystery how their ballistics go I don’t mind leaving it to a bit more chance. And hey, on a good day it works wonders. 85g of explosive makes sure they are dead.
