After the actual experience of the test suit, it has no use value at all, and its combat efficiency is not as good as that of some br2 and BR3 fighters with mounted bombs.
I think it is unreasonable to position it in BR5.

Data from warthunder WIKI.The actual performance in enlisted is even worse.

Agree. At the very least give it the HVAP-T rounds. Right now it is pretty horrible.

I pointed out the same problem after the bundle release: this plane sucks and is low BR4 power at best.
Copy-pasting it straight from warthunder, where its much better due to lack of infantry and infinite tank/plane targets…into enlisted, where it competes with universally strong planes at BR5 isnt just lazy, its almost criminally dumb and bad for sales.
Simple fix: give the plane the same 2x500 kg bombs as the TT version, or give it a 1000 kg bomb (which is much weaker than 2x500 kg due to explosion power nerfs) to make it really stand out and be a fun meme plane that drops big booms but remains overall less useful than many better planes.
“b-but it will be toooo strong and thats p2w!” —> The P-47 is STILL stronger than any of the jet planes and much more flexible and free in the TT. as long as TT stuff is stronger than a premium item, the premium item cant be “muh p2w”.

Well there is 2 main problems with the new update The Me262 a-1/U4 better be replaced Ho 229 V3 with 2x 500kg bombs
and the Kikka has to little ammo so also better be replaced Ki-201 “Karyū” since the Kikka has only 100 rounds the Ki-201 has almost the same model and Ho-155 II 30mm x2 [120]
Type2 20mm x2 [200]
or
Type2 20mm x4 [200]
Vehicles of the “Jet Power” update Rework
- Suggestions - Enlisted
and Ho 229 wont be pay to win since it has less burst having only 2 × 30 mm MK 103 cannon while the Jabo has 4

HVAP-T rounds would be the “WORST” rounds to add.
When attacking from above you dont need that overkill penetration (APHE already has more than enough)…What you want is the Damage on Penetration of APHE and the extra Projectile Mass
This would be a mistake, Trying to save you from it (us all really)
Also IMO after a few games on the test server, Is that Having a HE/APHE belt is a good thing. Takes you out of only having the niche role of Anti tank
its quite capable at strafing infantry with HE (with the benefit of not having to see them). Very fun

I Think its safe to say its “FACT” (not just my opinion now). After doing a few games, For what the “262 Narwhal” is, it is in its Optimal configuration for “Enlisted”
Any changes to the ammunition belt would be to its detriment
With all APHE you would be circling the map waiting for tanks, with nothing to do in between. its not a good dogfighter…
And for those asking for HVAP belts, you are asking for a “WORSE” ammunition than APHE (for damage purposes).
As it is now, the cannon has a good rate of fire, so every 2nd round you can blow up tanks, and do some infantry strafing in between.
Its a Perfectly Fun and Viable Premium
I am happy (It blows up tanks in Practice, if there were more players on test server using tanks I could test it better)

Please compare it with other fighter jets of BR5.
what would you like me to compare? Im just talking about the 262 Narwhal istelf.
With its loadout options available (from warthunder), there is nothing you can do to make it more effective than it is now
Its in its Optimal state for “Enlisted” (APHE/HE)
In “Warthunder Ground RB” its optimal state would be APHE
trying to save you all from making it worse without realizing what you are doing.

Well a big difference for sure is its ability to stay on station unlike the other, the meteor I think is the exception there with those 20mm’s, it should be able to still shred APCs and infantry.
Honestly I just want buffed LoS for pilots so you can actually line up strafing runs using your eyesight rather than attempting to predict the future.

yes render distance really needs to be improved.
…and as the game is this is actually another good thing about the Me 262 Narwhal…you can strafe infantry without seeing anything because its a big ass 50mm cannon with HE rounds every second shot

I agree with your idea, just want to remind you that the example you cited can be done by other fighters and is more efficient.
Since we can’t change its weapon configuration in history, maybe we can speed up the projectile’s exit and make the trajectory smoother.
-Maybe it shouldn’t be in enlisted.

Hvap-T is shit. I totally agree

that is true, Im not disagreeing with that at all. Strictly speaking the TT 262 jaboo Is objectively better.
I dont know what to do. But i have already bought it…and I am having some fun.

I disagree your point. I can shoot and kill any tank at 800 meters in practice mode using it’s 50mm gun, and I can do the same thing in really match
对地32发打两个坦克没毛病,那你人捞不捞?敌机打不打?我说别的战斗机两个航弹炸完坦克顺带送走附近的步兵,制空的机炮的弹药还够吃完大轰炸,有什么问题吗
Oh,I know your purpose. You want to remove lagg3-37 , yak9T, yak9k Hs129B3 and me262 A1/U4 to the game. We don’t need you to teach us how to play this game , stop you arrogant behavior.
You can suggested change HEI-T to HEF-I,HEF-I have more mass than HEI-T
maybe change HEI-T to HEF-I will make it much better than before
From my experience in war thunder the long 30s (mk103) are the superior 30s with actual velocity for the shells so the Ho-229 would be infinity better jet in a dogfight, also has a way better vertical turn than any jet. Ki-201 would be cool since its just a japanese 262 though i think i prefer the kikka.

Yeah its Much better then Kikka and has enough ammo they can add it as a second option there is also the Vampire F.B.5 but this one will be broken since it will be the best jet plane.
