If those are all in the next patch or at least if those arrive with each update, I can give a 100% sure fire go that I will buy it instead of just having it rented once.

Also, don't the brakes activate on the ground if you pull back on the throttle?
The 262 does not need to be changed. If you are having problems with it online you are probably playing in arcade mode.

In addition, the sim mode has the map function which makes suprise impossible - this needs to be adjusted to only give relative - not exact positions of enemies.

So tweaking the 262 would be unrealistic, it is others things that need to be adjusted.

The only thing unrealistic about the Me 262 is the way the Me 262 A1a is depicted in BOP. In BOP even the Ar 234 jet bomber can outmanoeuver the swept wing Me 262 A1a fighter. I'm sorry to say you are very, very wrong on the Me 262 A1a. It was an exceptional combat aircraft in real life. Even the British RAE Chief test pilot, and maybe greatest test pilot of all time, Eric Brown called it - without a doubt - the most formidable combat aircraft of WWII. Also read about what Watson's Whizzers (Bob Strobell) had to say about it. And these were not just some guys "flying aircraft" in a "virtual" and artificial "reality", but WWII combat and test pilots that flew these aircraft for real.

Do some in depth research on the Me 262, especially also original WWII reports from the German side, i.e. detailed WWII combat records, detailed WWII test reports, WWII design specifications etc. You will then find out why the top German fighter WWII pilots were ALL so very impressed by it. The current depiction of the Me 262 in BOP is historically incorrect - if I use an understatement and want to avoid using strong language.
