Piston VS jet

G-lock will stop you partway through a turn if you attempt to sustain it, that’s what I mean by that, but yeah, other than that, yes.

Yes, I just don’t want people to get confused

People today are so easy to get confused.

I heard multiple times people saying that they need expert/ace crews in order to turn better…

I’m sorry, what? This got flagged?

Ah yes, the “direct official wiki”! The most credible source!

Imho you mix irl and wt. They are just loosely connected.

Based on the hard cut VE day in May '45 there were just 2 potential adversaries: The few Meteors F.3 and the few YP-80s - both were slower and had lower critical (controllable at high speed) and tactical (ability to bring guns on target) mach numbers.

There were no other jets.


I described this in another thread :

Me 262 A-1 interceptor spawn - #90 by Uncle_J_Wick

Me 262 A-1 interceptor spawn - #86 by Uncle_J_Wick

So if you face opponents which are faster (decisive) or turn better (not decisive) it is simply based on this effect:

That One Time We Fell Off Horses in Mongolia

…which boils down that you can pimp up your ride with more available forward trust - even if your ride is not really suited for high speed.

So the Meteors / P-80s were based on their design inferior - the effects you might notice or suffer were all engine related - as the increase in trust was able to compensate the conceptual disadvantage of straight wings and missing high speed research.

And these solely engine related avantages play a role in your game experience - as the increase in engine power happened after VE day. In o other words: If you want to have a pleasant Me 262 game play experience, you might ask for an adjustment of BRs which disables the current set-ups - or you ask for the implementation of Me 262 versions / prototypes like this one:

Me 262 HG I

The USSR jets irl were before the MiG -15 era not competitive - just based on missing research efforts and lack of engines. Thanks to the UK they got access to the the RR jet engine which made the Ta-183 copy (wehraboos usually claim this) aka as MiG-15 a success.

If you see a non-WW2 combat P-51 D-30 at 5.0 or a non WW2 combat P-51 H-5 at BR 6.3 you might get the idea, that if we assume that the BR of 7.0 for a 1944 production aircraft like the Me 262 A-1a is correct, we just see that the whole BR setting policy of gaijin follows mainly economic goals.
