Historical Information​First taking flight under jet propulsion in July of 1942 and entering service in April of 1944, the Me262 ushered in a new age of aerial combat as the first jet powered aircraft to be fielded by any military force. Countermeasures can be used to assist in evasion, but will not save you on their own. Guided missiles will lock on to anything roughly in front of the aircraft, but will not avoid terrain. Its best to dive steep, keep the nose steady on target, fire a volley and hope for a hit. When used against ground targets, R4M rockets require an almost direct hit to do serious damage. They fly faster and allow for less target lead, but tend to glitch through stationary targets. When engaging in aerial gunnery, make sure to equip the air target ammunition.

Differential braking can be used to taxy the aircraft on the ground Touch down at around 130mph/200kph and use the wheel brakes to slow down to a stop. When landing, deploy the flaps fully and lower the landing gear. When using the advanced flight model, watch out for stalls when pulling hard on the controls, particularly tip stalls. Early jet aircraft are known for their slow acceleration from slow speeds. Allow the aircraft to accelerate to around 250mph/400ph before climbing. Retract the landing gear soon after takeoff to reduce drag. The aircraft will take off at around 115mph/185kmh with takeoff flaps deployed (40% extension). Should you wish a for a more realistic (but subject to improvement) flight model is available in the parts selector. Tips for Flying​By default, the Me262 is configured with a basic flight model for those of you who wish to destroy tings and have fun.

Fitted with state-of-the-art lock on guided missiles, it can destroy an target with deadly accuracy and dissuade any incoming missiles with it's own electronic countermeasures. None were ever built in the end.Ī work of pure fiction, the A-62 is a modernized version of the Me262 intended for ground attack and fighting in contested airspace. One of those efforts was the Ki201, essentially a copy of the Me262.

Its 24 R4M aerial rockets allowed to to shred any aircraft in it's sights, although less effective against ground targets.īuilt after the war by the Czechs, the S.92 enjoyed peaceful service alongside Czech built Bf109s for a few years before being replaced by newer aircraft.Īs the war in the Pacific drew to a close, the Japanese Army sought to build a jet fighter to fight off the American B-29s that loomed over their homeland. The 'base model', this version is equipped with the basic armament and standard Jumo 004 enginesĪ prototype, specialized interceptor variant, the C-2b is fitted with less powerful TLR 003R engines, but also fitted with integral liquid fuel rocket boosters that allow it to climb to meet bomber formations in minutes.
