Several 262s were indeed shot down by P 51s and not all of them on landing approach, also Kohzedub bagged one with an La7, which is a lot slower than a 51 in the real world.

Don't let the performance of these aircraft in IL2 blind you, oh and the first time I shot down a 262 online I was in a Brewster...

I had to laugh watching the video when it said 'based on true events'..

So was that POS Pearl Harbor movie with Ben Assflick

This hyper PC correctness world of ours is re-writing history faster than we can keep up with it.. And not just with WWII events.. Next time your at a yard sale.. by the old history books and save them in a safe place.. They will be worth something someday if not to you but your children.

They'll turn this film into a plane whining like some of the forums I know.
