Author's Notes
- Sluggish at low speed (<400 km/h) and low altitude. The flaps are required for takeoff and landing.
- Considering that only one of this plane was ever made, I made some artistic liberties and gave it the R9 modification (provisions for Ru 344 X-4).
- Because a large portion of the part count is the Ru-344 X-4 missiles, firing all 4 will count your plane as critically damaged.
- The fuel on the rocket boosters is limited and lasts a total of 180 seconds.
- The fuel on this plane is unlimited.
- The ammo on the gun is unlimited.

@ReinMcDeer I mean I put out the HG II variant, so safe to say going all in on the whole Luftwaffe '46 thing is allowable :>
.
I think there was an Me 262 model planned which used pulse jets like the V1 buzz bomb. That would've been wild
@EngineerOtaku Yeah, I remember reading about that. Since a production version of this is already a bit far-fetched I decided to go all the way. :v
The R-4 was suggested for the Me 262, but this thing would have required the pilot to take their focus off of flying the aircraft. Not exactly ideal, so two-seaters were prescribed as ideal for using the weapon (precursor to WSO role, you could argue.) Still most Luftwaffe '46 planes seem to have options for the R-4; the Ta 183 is probably the most famous one, plus the Heinkel Lerche.
@ReinMcDeer oh I didn't know that
@MrShenanigans They're the same (afaik Deutsche is "German" in German)
@ReinMcDeer oh await that's deutsche? I thought it said german in google translate lol
@MrShenanigans I wish I could speak Deutsche lol
Awesome built and variant :)
schöne ME-262 hast du da guter kamerad
