50.7k ChaMikey  8.6 years ago

And yet, another Me-262, why you ask? because i love early German jets! flying artwork! this specific Me-262 is based of a german ace pilots 262, so i hope you enjoy it!

Special thanks to @Seeras for helping me out :D

=======Instructions========

retracting :
act-1 to raise the landing gear (first)
act-2 to close the gear door(last).

opening :
slide the Vtol down for act-2 first
And then act-1.

watch the front landing gear retract majestically.

do it in this order to get the realistic feeling of retracting and extending landing gear :D

mr. wiki :
The Messerschmitt Me 262, nicknamed Schwalbe (German: "Swallow") in fighter versions, or Sturmvogel (German: "Storm Bird") in attack versions, was the world's first operational jet-powered fighter aircraft.[5] Design work started before World War II began, but engine problems and top-level interference kept the aircraft from operational status with the Luftwaffe until mid-1944. The Me 262 was faster, and more heavily-armed than any Allied fighter, including the British jet-powered Gloster Meteor.[6] One of the most advanced aviation designs in operational use during World War II,[7] the Me 262 was used in a variety of roles, including light bomber, reconnaissance, and even experimental night fighter versions.

Me 262 pilots claimed a total of 542 Allied kills,[8] although higher claims are sometimes made.[Note 1] The Allies countered its potential effectiveness in the air by attacking the aircraft on the ground and during takeoff and landing. Engine reliability problems, from the pioneering nature of its Junkers Jumo 004 axial-flow turbojet engines—the first ever placed in mass production—and attacks by Allied forces on fuel supplies during the deteriorating late-war situation also reduced the effectiveness of the aircraft as a fighting force. In the end, the Me 262 had a negligible impact on the course of the war as a result of its late introduction and the consequently small numbers put in operational service.

    this argument is getting more hateful and aggressive by the second so i thank @SimpleKingdomAerialTesting for stopping or atleast trying to, just hold it in man. and @CenturionKing mods are supposed to be neutral to arguments so if you have more things you want to argue about, i suggest you don't do it.

    Please stop starting arguments with other users.
    Insulting others is against the site rules, as it falls under "hate speech"
    Continued bad behavior will result in a ban.
