Re: What if the Me-262 wasnt tampered with

It was a pure numbers game and the 262 was always going to be out numbered by US fighters, slashing attacks were fine but if it slowed down to dogfight at all...well we have all seen the camera gun footage of 262's geting shot down.

Interestingly what are your thoughts on the RAF Gloster Meteor against the 262, I know the Metor stayed at home to counter the V1's but how close were these two fighters from meeting in the worlds first jet on jet dog fight ?

Also how did these two types compare ? and wich one probably would have come out on top ?
