Fond memories of the 262 - it just cruises around from corner to corner dealing damage when and where it can. One need mind only not to focus on securing single combat victories, just use it as a pack predator in conjunction with your teammates. Gets a bunch of 'helper medals.' Thanks to you and other TH-camrs, the experience of transitioning to the 262 with much higher speed and equally derpy cannons was less perplexing.
I got the 262 back in 1.0 days...no respawn back then. Grinding this plane was so slooow. If you died, you either spectated the game, or jumped in another plane while waiting for it to end. I'm on the hg2 now, which is the same, just better numbers. Learning to aim the 30's is definitely key to mastering this airframe.
Thanks for this video I just got this and yeas I am struggling with it. I go from my spitfire to this and it’s hard. I’ll try the tips you outlined here and hopefully advance from there.
Grinding was paintfull but after specialized is a mansterplane for its tier. I learned how to play it and l love it. Marksman l an ll is an obligate in my opinoin.
The lessons you learn from learning the 30s will serve you well on other 30mm armed planes (J7Ws, Hunter, German GAs, P228, Javelin, etc.). I still have my 262, fully intending to specialize and before you ask, I do have the best engine w/ the rocket booster. (Totally unrelated: I can't get a Marseille to save my life, and I'm running out of time on the B29. But like I said before, if it wasn't meant to be, it wasn't meant to be.)
Coming from the me 410 to this plane was a bit disappointing, as now you face more of the altitude fighters, and you are faster with less manueverbility, which is a bit difficult to deal with at first.
There's a learning curve for sure. It took me a while to get used to the "all or nothing" aspect of the plane. But once you can make the guns and speed work for you, it becomes a formidable machine
Faster with less manuverability ... That is really the Heavy lines in a nut shell. What makes the Germans special is that as you get further up the tiers their ability to go from very low to very high (and vice versa) VERY fast. Monster acceleration. And pretty consistent hard hitting guns. Its the Bf 109 Z at tier z that is the weird one. Same express elevator acceleration up or down in the teir 6 Me 410. but drops the turret for the best agility in the whole line. which is actually pretty nice to have. and round that out with four of those lovely 20 mm cannons that are just
@@PostalMonkey No, no. I meant both, really. As abstract as the gameplay comparison goes between WoWp and WoT, it feels to me like an accurate match. But also historically they would fit in the WW2 timeline, though not exactly, if you look at the production dates of Bf 110 variants vs Tiger, and Me 262 vs Tiger II. :)

You got it exactly right. Not quite the thug the Me 410 is, the 262 is more like a special forces member
@@PostalMonkey whait until specialize . Put a light frame improve engine and turbine. You will love it :).
I actually just spec'd this the other day, even faster, even more ridiculous 😎
"Memories"? Past tense?

Give more lead! It will definitely help the 30mm cannons

Indeed, anything that helps the guns hit target is a good thing here

Best of luck! Yeah the 30s on those planes are excellent, even better than the Tier VIII 262 so getting used to them here can only be helpful
Intelligent_Zombie: GAA and Bomber killer.. I hate those things. LOL
Oh gawd yeah when I'm on a bomber or GA I make a special point to watch the map often

your settings in the game?
My display settings? Or key bindings? Or what?
@@PostalMonkeyDisplay
I'll update you on that when I get home. Are you on discord? If so I can just screen shot the settings to you
@@PostalMonkey Yes! i have discord

Hop into my discord (link in description) and I'll send you screenshot tomorrow morning!
I'd say Bf 110E is more like a Tiger and Me 262 is more like a Tiger II
Lol well I meant like from a historical aspect, not a "punch you in the face" aspect

grinding for this as we speak
It's different but in a good way. And the tier IX is god-like
@@PostalMonkey i pretty new to the game. and i really like the game
