When the Me 262 ? I think the first jet fighter deserve a space

Certainly iconic and will be cool. I’ll be curious how it would play on the current small maps given it’s speed.
Only if they also add Gloster Meteor and Shooting Star.
How are we supposed to have a Me 262 whose engines don’t ignite at too much power. We can also introduce American and British jets, which were not copies of the Me 262.
Such a curiosity. The first jet engine (not counting China) was created in 1910 in Romania, and the first modern turbojet engine was built by an Englishman in 1930

Imo, kinda like a FW190D on steroids.
It’s got sub-par acceleration, so in order to keep the speed advantage it will need to avoid sharp turns and exploit vertical maneuvers.
30mm ammo will be devastating both against infantry and planes. But the ammo supply is limited, so it will need to reload often. Moreover, those bullets are slow, making it harder to hit a maneuvering target. It will be great at hunting bombers and attackers, but any high-end piston fighter that manages to catch it in a fight can give it a beating.
If it will have bombs, it won’t be able to just zip back and forth dropping a load every few seconds, because again, it will need to do wide turns in order to keep its speed up, lest becoming a sitting duck. So it may not even need a more distant resupply point.

That’s part of the problem. IRL, the 262 could just accelerate away from P-51. But in a game, it has to turn around back toward the slower fighter. So part of it’s speed advantage is lost because of the confines of the map.
Don’t get me wrong. I definitely want to see it in game.

people hardcore overestimate a plane thats power was based on speed…on LITTLE MAPS. it cannot even use its strenghts on enlisted maps.
the main strenghts would be good weaponry and high speed. every fighter plane in the game can easily outmanouver it
“bu-bu-but it flies away fast and then me is big sadgeeee” → if the wastes time flying away he becomes ineffective.
being a good pilot is not about flying around, but to deal a much impact (damage) as possible per minute. a plane flying around, being afraid of enemy fighters is not OP.
on air to air battle this is irrelevant.
and speed is highly important on re-arming the plane. just consider the time one waste on a Ju 87 in comparison to a FW 190 D-12 on same map to re-arm the same set of bombs.
anyway, 30 mm mk108 canons in enlisted is all i need to read to be convinced its good .
i never said it wont be very good. i just say its not a OP and world ending as some claim.
and since DF fucks up all plane cannons, they wont be OP either.
mk108 30mm is one if not the best cannon in-game
Regarding damage per shot on enemy planes
and splash damage from the HE on the ground against infantry.

If only…
If only infantry in Enlisted was rendered BEFORE you’re only 300m from them and in a direct crash course with the ground…
30mm are not very dangerous when you’re invisible

True, but it isn’t any different than with bombs or rockets.
Especially with high speed planes like the 190D or such, you don’t “aim at infantry”. You dive in, guess where a big enough concentration of infantry may be (based on the situation at the cap point and where tracers are flying from/to), and spray a zone hoping for the best.
And German 30mm happen to be very effective at saturating an area, a strafing run is like a mini artillery strike.
If it’s working as well asthe big canon IL from Berlin, then perhaps… thought it would be so much better if we could see what we shoot at…
Even tanks render late, and we must spot canon flashes or mg fire then spam the spot key to align that perfect bomb drop. (It’s SO satisfying when you drop a bomb, hear a big “tonk” and see the mark on your screen when you hit an enemy… meaning the bomb got dropped directly on the vehicle.)
I’ve had enough episodes of seeing the hit mark and then the bomb NOT killing the tank, that now I prefer not seeing it.
Unfortunate glitches… sometimes the bomb “disappear” inside the tank model, or even the ground…
Enlisted magic happens. It mostly happens with 50kg bomblets, but it’s true it’s sad when it does.
Fighter plane - Schwalbe
Attacker plane - Horten
I would love to see those as endgame aircrafts for Germany. Beautiful machines.

As Iconic as that thing is. wasnt it the biggest piece of crap? 
Me 262 would shred it (or Kikka) before it did anything
