The silly over done flight manoeuvres are just too annoying. Realistic tactics and flight physics would have made a great movie anyway...
I would like to see a film about Galland and JV44 rising in a hand full of me262 to meet massed allied bomber formations defended by hundreds of escort fighters. There is a tragic courage to these elite pilots defending their country, facing impossible odds while also flying the most advanced jets and with such high level of experience and skill.
"If measured by the accumulated victories of its pilots the Jagdverband 44 was the most elite fighter squadron in the history of military aviation" wikipedia
Also JG7
"On 18 March 1945, 37 Me 262s of JG 7 intercepted a force of 1,221 bombers and 632 escorting fighters. They shot down 12 bombers and one fighter for the loss of three Me 262s"wikipedia
That's just about he coolest thing that ever happened...
