whats the deal with the Me 262 A1a?
Slow
Cant turn
bad weaponry when compared to others
high repair costs

Speed? is decent... nothing special, turnrate? welll..... not useful.
Weapons? 4x 30mm slow shooting inaccurate guns, outperformed by .50´s laser canons

so whats the deal with 25k repair costs?! this thing has nothing special, it cant headon, gets outclimbed by airspawners so whats this thing supposed to do? cant fly my favourite plane because allied seem to get continous advantages... or am i wrong?! i mean like seriously... airspawn, M3 .50´s spammers no matter where i am above or below, the 30´s almost never hit because the opponent turns away before and turnfighting is suicide, im playing this game to play the plane i want, i want F.A.I.R. fights, is that too much to ask for?

That´s why they are close range weapons. if you don´t shoot at targets, that are over 300 meters away you won´t really notice it... :P

The 262 is decent when it fights other planes at its BR. In my opinion Meteor F.3 vs Me 262 1A is some of the best fun you can have in this game (second only to pure Sabres vs MiGs). The 25K repair cost is insane though I don't understand why it is so expensive.

Exactly, the 262 is a regular plane, nothing special... 25k not justified, talk about the french bo *cough* Fighter... these 30mm rip you apart if you dont manage to hit your target in a headon at above 1.6 km...

Also, turnrate not useful? wtf, dude me262 can turn combat flaps at 550km/ph without ripping them off.... it outurns most of the enemy jets it faces. About the innacurate guns, they are shotguns, a single bullet of them will make enemy planes explode, it is actually more usefull with unupgraded guns as the bullet spread will favour you in headons for instance.

So yes, you are wrong, the me262 actually performs really well, its one of my favourite jets and it fights fair fights most of the times at least the a1 variant.
If youre such a pro, and can defeat any plane, including a swarm of 8.0 jets then teach me

When the hell did i say I was a pro or did I say I could handle a swarm of 8.0 jets? I just described the me262, it has good dive speed in comparison with other jets, it has one of the most hardhitting guns in the Whole game, with flaps at 550kmph it can outturn most of the things it faces (it can even nearly keep up with the meteors it faces when turning as they can't pop flaps at that speeds, which is ridiculous), it can lands on its belly at 300-400kmph without destroying itself making you land extremely fast.
Me262's are also some of the best jets you can use to destroy, tu4's or b29's your guns due to the amount of kg per second the expell at the enemy can rip them in a second. People in this thread are comparing the me262a1 with the hunter guns.... when they don't even face each other.

No, i havent said im a pro or that it is an op plane that can take on a 8.0br jets swarm.... Im saying it is a good and balanced plane which is really fun to play and have some really good advantages you can exploit against your opponents.

Perfect in SB mode, the Me262s are great. The A1 is a bit slow, yes, but take your time to climb and BnZ on your enemies and you'll be fine

If theres no "imhereincludingmyname" tag the 262 is perfect too bad flight control in sim sucks in my opinion

Then it's a problem of getting good with the guns, not because the plane is 'underperforming' to your standards. Also it's not possible that a plane could outrun your shells.

IT IS... my god, it happened, unless you aim 5km above the plane your 30 mm mortar wont do ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ against someone who flies 700 kmh

the mk108 has a muzzle veloicity of 540m/s or 1944km/h, its slow mate but not that slow...

Still... you have to aim super high, and by the time they would catch up theyre already gone

even from a standstill shooting after the fastest aircraft in the game flying directly away from you the closing distance would still be ~200m/s, assuming an intercept at 1km thats at most 5 seconds airtime in the worst case scenario. most of the time you will be shooting from closer than that and relative speeds wont be anywhere near that bad but even so its not impossible, just extremely difficult

Yeah thats what i mean, but i feel more comfortable using the K4 anyways, its such an easy plane

Il problema di questo aereo è la sua collocazione sbagliata che non gli permette di competere con quelli che dovrebbero essere i suoi veri avversari. Il 7.0 no va bene per lui. 6.0-6.3 forse.
