Ruhrstahl X-4

however I am not sure if i wanna make the belly back as that was never built and is part of the C-3 variant maybe in the future when I make other 262 variants I can make it but not for my B variant

You should post it in the Me 262 topic :3

Best part about that is that the F-80 F-84 people always cry that the 262 is OP I am like what how? They accelerate better climb better turn better They are literally better in any regard to the 262

Trying to use my X-4 against an enemy F-80 but it goes right past him and doesn’t explode because its specifically tuned to the engine of the B-17

You know that isn’t actually an afterburner right??

Gotta check these days…

That particular engine probably has less than 10 minutes of existence left when that video was taken…

maybe its tuned to the amplitude more than the frequency?
i doubt they could manage such precise acoustic channels

its the closest i could find to a video of the jumo 004E engine model with afterburner

Not a video, not a Jumo 004, not on a 262… maybe not even an afterburner either!! :)

me 262 hg1 and hg2 where planned to have addtions of this engine but war ended before it could happen

Its tuned to the doppler shift frequency

Idk lmao I was making a meme more than anything

But in theory if it is tuned to the B-17 engines then nothing but B-17 engines should set it off. Concessions could be made though I guess

Is this even modeled in this game?:

You mean every single aircraft that uses the ¿¿¿(Pratt & Whitney R-1690)??? should set it off…

I mean yes but how many of those are realistically going to be fighting something with an X-4

Idk. Lets see how many aircraft can carry the X-4

Off the top of my head it was an Fw 190 A-5 (I think), the Me 262, and like maybe one more that I can’t remember

But also the whole “just B-17 engines” thing is a meme I have little to no doubt they’re just going to model it as radio proxy similar to the AA.12
