As the first operational jet fighter, it is the only aircraft that is fundamentally different from anything else in Great Battles. From a game design perspective, the modelling of jet engines and transonic flight is interesting. I have no doubt that some players will find ways to use the Me 262 effectively. Needless to say, it will be hard to intercept when flown correctly. If fitted with bombs, the 262 will be quite capable as a fighter bomber. yeah i hear ya...the thing is, WW2 was (mostly) about props vs props. BF109s/FW190s vs Spits/Mustangs/etc. If you really want to fly jets ===> DCS. anyway, it is what it is. just surprising thats all

No one has advertised this as a "prop sim." It's a World War 2 sim. The ME262 was an airplane that was used during WW2. They're building a PO-2. But it's a biplane. Ya wanna fly biplanes=====> ROF. Well, no. The little PO-2 saw service during World War 2. So, you're going to see it in here. I'm happy to see every damn thing that fought in the skies, back then, in here. Just none of that "what if" stuff. Don't like it at all. But if it saw combat, bring it! 1

And if we really stretch that "what WW2 in the air was about" thing" it was about technology which the 262 is a prime example of. How the 262 will be used and benefitted from will be interesting given its many "off the boil" low speed shortcomings and vulnerabilities and of course the presence of the Tempest and P51s.
II/JG11_ATLAN_VR Posted April 29, 2018 Posted April 29, 2018 I can not even wait .. to test the Me262

ATAG_Flare Posted April 30, 2018 Posted April 30, 2018 Heck, you don't need a Tempest or P-51 to shoot down a 262. 401 Squadron RCAF got the first ever 262 kill with a few Spitfire IXs!
II/JG17_HerrMurf Posted January 2, 2019 Posted January 2, 2019 Did I mention the Dora? I did? Well, lets just post that here again shall we? DORA!!!!! 1
Panthera Posted January 2, 2019 Posted January 2, 2019 Of the planes listed, the Me262 without a doubt. Of the planes not listed, but that I trust the devs will add as a collector (come on 777!), the Spitfire Mk.XIV.
Redwo1f Posted March 3, 2019 Posted March 3, 2019 ...but it was mentioned somewhere that it is going to be a J variant, just so you know.
Trooper117 Posted March 3, 2019 Posted March 3, 2019 Unsurprisingly the 262 seems to have the most votes...

Yeah, realized after my post but what the hell. Will have to wait for the Pacific for the L model. Even more reason I’m chomping at the bit grinding my teeth down to nubs in hoping it arrives before my final demise.

I will admit test flying that thing at low altitude in VR will take me to a DCS World time warp though I still contend it will be a Uber FW with attack and slash tactics taken to the max.
