Add the Me 262 to the game

my guts are telling me that the ME 262 will be premium because it’s the most wanted plane for the axis.

bets anyone?

( p.s. i think the plane it’s overated. given actual speed of airplanes compared to war thunder. so, either way i doubt i’ll get it. but just to cause some havoc among those who wants one :smirk: and… i believe that will be a premium. just my two cents for the matter )

Id have a ME 262 in game as it actually saw combat in WW2 but there would need to be some bigger maps to meet its natural and real life enemy the P51.

Western Allies only had reconnaissance Meteors, Before World War II ended, however, two American pre-production Lockheed YP-80A Shooting Star fighter jets saw limited service in Italy with the USAAF on reconnaissance, in February and March 1945. Because of delays in delivery of production aircraft, the Shooting Star saw no actual combat during WW2. P-80 is post war jet same as the vampire.

i like it i think the allie should get B29 when the Me262 got added

bigger maps? i do remember the same argument with APCs that the map isnt big enough,they should just expand the skybox

A giant bomber to bomb small battlefields it would kill everyone in the battle Allies and Axis lol

How about NO… USSR and GE are fine the devs must focus on Japan and US now… then maybe separate Italy and UK from US and GE and only then we can add more stuff to GE…

I think you are probably right. Will be a premium.

Buuuuuut it will super effective in enlisted. 4 x 30mm cannons and high speed will just be a g10/14 (premium) on steroids.

Amazing strafing and amazing intercepting, and fast reload…

Id get it…and maybe they add the 50 plus micro rockets (i forget what they were called and how many)

Theres also one with 2x250kg bombs and other bombs, or the warthunder squadron vehicle version with HVAP. Could be really nasty

r4m?

As long as the Germans can return fire and cover the allies and the same amount of rockets they covered us in I don’t care what happens

Yeah them. id rather the me 262 a-1a/u1with HVAP though

I would like to see the Arado Ar 234 bomber XD
A jet bomber first used as to recon the allied landing sites in normandy
and later to bomb the allied advances in the ardenne offencive and their last flights where near berlin so it would fit the current timeline.
I know it might be the very top of the BR but with payload it would slow down enough for the fighters to keep up with it.

Ar 234 had very bad performance in low altitudes with really limited range and speed, as intended operational altitude was 6000m whilst in Enlisted rarely anybody flies higher than 1000m with most keeping it around 500m. Additionally, as with Me 262, it has really bad acceleration and turn rate, which for Enlisted maps is less than ideal. Also, funny if it would have engine fires.

ME262 would be a BRVI plane if anything if we ever get a postwar era, though I could see people being quite against it existing if it meant it could be downtiered to V. Germany more than anything need rank IV/V fighters with bomb drops. Pure fighters are 9/10 a detriment to the team, even if you are scoring well its not really worth losing a squad on the ground.

German fighters in general just kinda suck in this game since you are in a fishbowl and it heavily favors turn fighting. You can climb to 2km and larp to get kill, but so can turn fighters.

Wrong. The Americans flew P-80s in reconnaissance missions in 1945. They only flew recon missions because by then there was nothing for them to shoot at.

They are called R4Ms and they would kinda suck if added to the game. They have less explosive mass the ROS-82 on the Russian Hurricane, which can only really be used on the bombers. Having 50 of them won’t make a difference because no one needs more tham 5 pairs to kill the AI bombers, and hitting a plane that can turn whatsoever is difficult at the best of times. Compare this to the Americans who get P-80s which can mount HVARs.

Oh, so I guess have one with the 250kg bombs and the rockets then? If that thing can mount HVARs then this games allied plane cycling is going to be worse than before and now with a plane that you can likely only reliably kill with the new fighter

Except the rockets on the 262 kinda suck, so…

If R4M are to low power would the Panzerblitz/M 8 work?
Not sure who exactly (which planes) would be issued these weapons as info on them is hard to find but apparently there is some credible claims that they saw combat.

Yeah but it will fly horribly in this game. It will be like D9/D12 but even worse.

That is because all planes are artificially nerfed in this game.

Gaijin other game where they get the 3d models from, the exact planes fly faster, climb harder and can actually get past 1500meters. In this game, 1500 meters altitude might as well be edge of space! Planes stall out and go very slow past 1000 meter, it is strange like alien is tractor beam back to Earth.

R4M air to air missiles I think
