il2crashesnfails Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Anyone know if the 262 was taken down in a dogfight? I seem to get done on the landing when using the Me-262. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeroen79 Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 The Me-262 performs best at high speed and is most vulnerable when low and slow, like when on takeoff and landing. The Allies would exploit that by attacking over their airfields. The Germans would defend the Me-262s by placing flak and fighter patrols near the airfields and approach routes.

FencerSu24 Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 If you're good at deflection shooting (and lucky), it's possible to catch Me-262s in flight, you're not getting ideal firing solutions on them but you can spray them while they fly by. Fortunately enough, they're rather fragile, and even a couple .50 hits will bring them down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
