Messerschmitt Me 262 C-1a "Heimatschützer I"
Quite possibly the most realistically flying aircraft I've ever made. Hopefully it sets the stage for future uploads. A major redesign of my old Me 262.
Improvements include:
Fixed shape and got as close to 1:1 scale as possible with the help of the mod DesignerSuite
Drastically changed performance roughly according to real statistics
Added paintjob and decals
Customized the guns with MK 108 stats
Added an honestly shite ''''cockpit'''' that took almost no time to make
Added the main feature of the C-1a variant, a working rocket booster powered by missiles. AGs 1-5 will each activate 1 rocket.
Notes: Recommend using rockets individually and not all at once but both ways are possible.
Once each missile is spent, they eject themselves out of the back of the aircraft. They will cause no trouble unless you intentionally jerk the plane around while this happens.
The Messerschmitt Me 262, nicknamed Schwalbe (German: "Swallow") in fighter versions, or Sturmvogel (German: "Storm Bird") in fighter-bomber versions, was the world's first operational jet-powered fighter aircraft. Design work started before World War II began, but problems with engines, metallurgy 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. One of the most advanced aviation designs in operational use during World War II, the Me 262's roles included light bomber, reconnaissance and experimental night fighter versions.
