The Me 163 was a German flying wing rocket fighter designed by Messerschmitt to fight against advancing waves of B-17, B-24, and Lancaster bombers. It is fairly nimble and quick, and thanks to using a rocket engine, throttle response is near instantaneous. However, it has a limited fuel load, and is rather difficult to land and take off from. Press 1 to detach the takeoff bogie. This aircraft has XML-modded guns made to represent the 30mm MK 108 cannons that the Me 163 used.
