Gaijin Entertainment hase even 2 versions off this in WT then it would be more easy to put it in Enlisted!

Advantages
Fast
Test pilot Eric Brown of the Fleet Air Arm, who flew a record 486 different types of aircraft, said the He 162 “was a superb aeroplane in its element, but quite a handful to take off and land. Never met better flying controls yet they could easily be so mishandled…” and “it was no aeroplane to let embryo pilots loose on”.

Disadvantages
Fragile
not much ammo
0 Bombs or Rockets
Eyection is with a Eyection seat (He 162’s cartridge-type ejector seat) maybe this could be a bit difficult for the developers to ad.

As what to put in the Game?
BR 5 or min Br 4 but many Gamers whant to keep medium Br free from Jets i think then Br 5 would be the better choice!
1 of the versions would be best with a Event squad, for people who dont have a normal extra squad place for Planes or vehycles in the Game, if one of them would be in a event place then the player could be use a normal ground vehyle or a Bomber or attacker plane then the He 162 A-1 could be second event place option.
Later it could be land in the silver boxes.

2 of the versions could be Tech Tree or Premium.

  • Yes He 162
  • No He 162

Would it be overpowered?
I doubt it strongly
there are other jets in the game who are less fragile and with more ammo and with Bombs

Jets are a mistake in this game. And should be removed.we don’t need more jets.

So it’s like a weaker Kikka because no bombs?

Meh, maybe as an event plane I suppose… I’m not sure it would get much use.

With the new free event squad places it hase now some uses , for players without premium!

Why? Jets were born in WW2. Germany used various in the final stages of the war

But Japanese and soviets didnt hade Jets in ww2 !

Kikka at least flew… once, before ww2 ended.

… as Enlisted goes, we’ve seen worse. At least it existed.

Only the soviet one came after the war.

Prototypes are fine in my book

Developed during the war, still counts to me

Very historical especially since the final engine wasnt approved until December 1945 and the first proto in fall 1946.

I am not a pure Prototype and paper things fan!
