This rank 5 Jet Fighter used by the Germans can be very effective if used properly. It is in a battle rating from 7.3 to 7.7. Let’s see what is the best strategy for it.
Me 262 C-1a ARB Guide – War Thunder
When it comes to the flight performance, it doesn’t meet very high expectations except for the fact that it has a booster(2.5 minutes) in the back of the tail. It has extremely low endurance which means about 6 minutes of fuel(if you take 20 minutes you’ll be very slow, not recommended).
The turn is also not the best, but it does offer a very high speed, especially while the booster is engaged. The plane is very responsive to movement, so it makes for a good combo while flying.
Gameplay
Basically, because of the low fuel and high usage of it, you will have to be very aggressive and kinda use a rush tactic, otherwise, you won’t have any impactful meaning to the game.
Once you spot a target, use your booster and you’ll be behind him in no time. Make sure to go for slower targets and you’ll have no issues whatsoever. Avoid 50-cal and face-to-face combat.
Pros:
- Four 30 mm guns provide heavy armament.
- Good energy conservation
- It has a rocket engine that allows it to reach 4000 meters (13000 feet) in 1.5 minutes
Cons:
- In comparison to other jets it may face, it is slow
- Rocket propulsion has its limitations
- With low muzzle velocity and effective range, its 30 mm cannons aren’t ideal for jet warfare
- It is a fairly slow climber without its booster
- Control surface compression causes sluggishness at high speeds
It can go to a maximum speed of 865 km/h with a turn time of 30 seconds. The maximum altitude is 14.900 meters. It is a Jet type plane with an Air cooling system. It costs 110.000 RP to research and 310.000 SL to purchase.
Repairs and modifications:
Although the Cons outweigh the Pros, it is a pretty stable and highly effective plane to use in a dog fight. It doesn’t have a strict guide to follow as it is pretty open to every situation.
