    (Eureka!) Hey!: Play balance for 262!!!!!!

    Um. Question:
    What is the fuel endurance (historically) of the 262?
    Another question:
    As a percentage of, say, a P51 D...
    I bet it is less than 50%. Hell, I bet it is more like ten or fifteen!
    There is some play balance right there! Just like in real life. Give a 262 pilot enough time to launch, MAYBE find a target and maybe not, then run like hell and THEN line up 25 Km from the runway, because those things take forever to set down without going BOOM. 400KPH landings? Nah. They can't do that, right?

    WTG my friend, just my very words :)
    hmmm... it must be several rps since I last killed a jet in Main Arena, and much longer
    since I last flew one there ... sheesh

    Finally, to emphasize the importance of this issue, I want to quote an old wisdom:

    Navigare necesse est, aviare virtuale non est necesse.

    me262's are not THAT good
    sure they can kill in one shot
    sure they fly about 1.5times the fastest red plane

    but it sure as hell stalls fast and is unmanoverable like a rocket itself

    i'd prefer the ki84 to the me262 anyday
    the me262 just adds a certain 'spice' to the game for golds as it is very unique and its fun to try a jet tat flies so fast
    not everyone flies it to get 50kills in 2hours.
