But I don't think the Me 262 would be any more out of place than the I-16 for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver_Dragon Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 And therein lies the primary issue. The problems has not be a map or assets, has the lack of personal and resources to build them as fast as someone like.ED has building maps but not have a "dedicated" WW2 map team, only the main team with working on map technology and modern or WW2 maps. Actually, 3rd parties has none WW2 map plans or dedicated WW2 teams (M3 was a plan about a PTO map, but never confirm our Iwo Jima map plans). Same sitiation with the European east/North Africa maps, none planned. ED and M3 has the only teams with build WW2 assets (EWTO / PTO), but none on EETO. Octopus-G has none a assets team, and other 3rd parties none talk nothing about them.Enviado desde mi RNE-L21 mediante Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But…. ….. we don’t need to be limited by it Flying the Mosquito in the Patagonian fjord land is immensely enjoyable. Its not Norway, but play with the wind and weather settings and you have a dark brooding overcast with wind-lashed whitecaps 50’ below and towering mountains either side. That atmosphere gives the “suspension of disbelief”, as much as, or more than “right aircraft, right place, right opponents” Same goes for nightfighter or night intruder missions - ideally we’d want a Netherlands - N Germany - Denmark map, but it really doesn’t matter when the searchlights and flak are lighting up scattered cloud base over Caen or Cherbourg Waiting for the ideal “correct scenario” might be the perfect situation, but in doing so we deny ourselves so many hugely rewarding flight hours. Of course, everyone will have a different take on this, and each to their own However, if DCS want to provide us with a 262, then I will certainly buy one 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are others here that don't think so, probably since most of its operational life started after June of 44. But I agree, the Me 262 would be a big hit for DCS WWII and a big boon for DCS World.

Baltic Dude Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 (edited) I feel like when (or if) ED develops the Me-262, they should release a British plane that can fight it so not everyone is holding up the 262's slots in MP. I recommend the Griffon Spitfire for a historical match up that could team up with the P-51 to have a fairly good chance to take the 262 out if they worked together.

I think the Gloster Meteor would be the logic choice. It could also be used for a whole lot of other scenarios on maps like Syria or South Atlantic.

Mogster Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 There’s also the P80 and the Vamp, both could have been available before the end of WW2 but there was no pressure to field them. However I would prefer types that featured significantly in WW2… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Allen's Flying Heritage museum sold to Walton family aviation enthusiast and will reopen – GeekWire Hopefully this means the 262 with brand new Jumos will get to actually fly one day!

Stickshaker Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 There is a new (2022, Tempest Books) book on the Me-262 by Dan Sharp: Messerschmitt Me-262; Development & Politics) about the development of Me-262 prototypes, in which are included summeries of postwar reports on the 262, including pilots' assessments. Not all new, but very interesting to read how the 262 was assessed right after the war. On YouTube, you can find some video material about the Project 262 Me-262. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G00dnight Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 My opinion is that DCS will not make the 262 due to a promise made to customers years ago, I will not go into detail but they made a promise of goods but only when making a series of aircraft and surprise the only one left to make is the 262. I have still bought and supported DCS modules that interested me even though I very rarely fly DCS but I still like to buy and try modules every so often, This is not a criticism as the promise they made was made in good faith the funny thing is if they had fulfilled the goods straight away it would probably have cost a fraction of what it would cost now but in the end it will cost them nothing but loss of customers so they win. 1 AMD A8-5600K @ 4GHz, Radeon 7970 6Gig, 16 Gig Ram, Win 10 , 250 gig SSD, 40" Screen + 22 inch below, Track Ir, TMWH, Saitek combat pedals & a loose nut behind the stick :thumbup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Meteor's had serious problem of cannons jamming and others engine and controls problems , when first 6 were released for service, it was main reason because Meteor were not operational for combat until end of the war in 1945. Would you like a Meteor modelled with these problems here? Edited June 11, 2023 by IIIJG52_Otto_ 2 http://www.jagdgeschwader52.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
