Questions and concerns about the Me-262 in MP

That was only necessary because the allies had complete air superiority, and so could roam the skies freely on those approaches and bounce landing 262s. And so extensive flak was needed.

 

This is never going to be the case in this sim, where the complete allied air superiority will never be simulated. And therefore the whole idea of the allies taking out the 262s on landing will not be any more prevalent than it has been beforehand. Anyone going "262 hunting" by enemy airfields will be shot down by the LW, who are inexplicably fielding the same number (and sometimes many more) of aircraft as the allies, and do not have to worry about getting bounced by 2 dozen allied planes the moment they take to the skies.

That's highly dependent on the LW team actually cooperating and having a dedicated CAP section for their field. 

As it stands now...9 times out of 10 you see maybe groups of 3-4 aircraft take off in a section and then go off to their objective either as a ground attack or a roaming fighter sweep.  Very few, if any, will linger around an airfield waiting for action to come to them instead of actively trying to mix it up. 

So while it's entirely true there won't be the 10 to 1 numbers (likely more IRL) that the allies had against the Germans, it likely will still be a case where roaming Spitfires, P-51's and Tempests will be able to get to the 262 fields and raise hell on landing and taking off 262's due to the Luftwaffe team utterly abandoning them.

I always take is as a compliment! They must think me a high-calibre person!

 

I think it is really because you are lacking in calibre things ?

I'm told I make up for it with spunk and determination, and a winning personality.

All server admins have to do is make the 262 airfields far back so the pistons get bored.

But from my understanding in reading this thread, people are just going to use the 262 to vulch for personal kills rather than help the team. What is everyone worried about if you're going for a 1 way trip in the first place?
