I think you’re wrong. Look at this documentary footage taken during the assault on General Totten Kopf’s fortress in 1946.

I didn’t find it myself; here’s the source link. Trev Clark's Obscure Aviation History 🚁 on X: "A high-altitude Luftwaffe pressure suit, designed for the pilots of the proposed Horten Ho 229 'flying wing' jet interceptor. Neither the aircraft nor the suit were flown operationally before the end of World War Two." / X I left a link in my topic

Well, you found this post and shared it with us. I guess you deserve a mention too

Neither the Me 262 nor any of Germany’s currently‑available aircraft can easily beat the Meteor or the F‑80, and those two have an extremely large player base as well

In aerial combat, the MK 108 demands a substantial lead angle to hit maneuvering opponents. The Me 262, hampered by poor maneuver performance, often cannot achieve the proper lead and loses vital firing windows.

German planes can’t beat meteors at all.

You’re wrong. The bf109z EASILY takes out the meteor. You just have to catch it coming head on, or tail it until they turn. One round literally destroys the entire plane and the 109z has perfect cannon spacing. The me262 can also do this as well, if you can’t land one round while they’re turning or 1 round head on, you need some more practice is all. The f80 is nothing special in flying characteristics. Most br5 props can take it out.
Bf 109z
Enough said. If you don’t have it, learn to intercept with the me 262. It only takes one single round to destroy the meteor or at the very least make it un-maneuverable.
Sir, if I’m not mistaken, you’ve only flown the Bf 109Z a total of twice since you posted that reply. A mere two flights can hardly back up your argument.

I used it quite a lot before making the post. Br4 germany/russia was my go to for quite a while. I change things up quite often. Just haven’t played much higher tier recently.
And anyways, can you list a better prop plane for chasing down jets than it?
No, you misunderstood. I’m not denying the excellent chase performance of the Bf 109Z. The main focus of my post is the aircraft’s dogfighting capability. However, it’s clear that with pilots of equal air combat dogfighting skill, the Bf 109Z will struggle to beat the Meteor.
Easy there is nothing better for going after a jet the guns have so much firepower and range. Specially the Jabo if you are behind it its game over. The problem is all props are vulnerable against Jets since with jets you can go to a height of 3000 without a problem and dictate the fights without the Berlin maps. Bf 109Z guns are not exactly the best option to go after a jet even G-10 would be better.
Some people really dislike the 30mms for air to air combat, but i think the 109z has the perfect spread to catch a plane easily in a turn. Yes of course the 109z can’t out turn the meteor. Which is why you have to get accustomed to the 30mms and land the one hit to take it out before that happens.
I disagree for reason above. There’s no match to the 30mm’s destructive force to a plane. The f7f is quite good, but we technically talking about germany here.
Then G-10 or the FW also has good guns with good range. Bf 109Z is better for attacking ground targets then air targets. Or even better the invisible Italian plane.
Personal preference i guess. I’d much rather land one hit and be done quickly than take the chance of getting into a dog fight with the meteor. Once that happens it’s game over.
Well with the Italian BR IV plane is invisible at long distance so you cant be boom and zoomed by a Jet it has a bug that the plane dose not render.
I’ve also racked up 2,800 kills in the Me 262 myself, so I know perfectly well how the MK108 cannons perform. That’s also why I’ve been pushing for the Ho 229 to be added to the game.
