Years of 262 Struggles

How is it 2025 and the 262’s are still unplayable? The game has only added aircraft that are better than it and the amount of aircraft between 6.0-7.0 have relatively decreased compared to 7.0-8.0, thus it rarely sees downtiers, and even when it does it’s still the worst 7.0 jet so what are you really capitalising on?

The F-18C(L) has already dropped it’s BR and it’s been out for like 6 months. It’s been like 9 years since the 262 needed an adjustment.

You are not wrong. I summarized the state of 262s earlier this year here:

You might want to contribute there before your thread gets closed by a forum mod.

No offense man, but having played a single match in a 262 in total reduces your statement to a plain opinion.

Opinions are for people too lazy looking for facts and being too weak for real faith 😎

Bro you know what I meant. The F18C was released at top tier, and is now 0.3BR below top tier. And if you didn’t know what I meant, then now you do.

if youre counting decompressions then the 262 has changed BR multiple times since release

me262 has always been a laughing stock I dont get why they dont lower its br already. I dont think I have ever had a struggle against a me262 ever unless it was third partying me

I’m pretty sure Gaijin doesn’t care about <8.0, it’s rare for anything to move up/down

As john 262 i think 262s should all go down a bit, exept maybe the a2a

idk it would be cool it the 262 faces more equal jets and near the same years. and this doesnt only apply for 262, it applies for any ww2 or post ww2 jet so they dont have to face F86 and all these shitters

I’m going to be serious. I love earlier jets and superprops but the Me-262A-1A has been a miserable experience…
I’m not the best air player but I’m not bad by any means, but here I am with the 262 on .7 kdr being forced to 3rd party people.
The guns are horrifically inaccurate, their fire rate is low and their velocity is with one word, abysmal.
it’s not fast to accelerate, it doesn’t turn well and it doesn’t even climb as well as some superprops.
I can’t find a reason for the A-1A to have to face the F-86A-5 or the MiG-15, it’s just hopeless.
You struggle in downtiers, uptiers and at your own battle rating.

And now, P51H, F2H, F80C somehow get unlimited WEP

P-51H is definitely not unlimited, but it is more than enough for a full game usually

Really? Since when? I always remember it having only 10 or 15 minutes or something.

PLease use already created thread in machinery of war section to discuss this vehicle.

thank you.
