 | Do me a favour dino. From now on put all of your immediate remarks in the same post, instead of trying to increase your post count by posting a long string of successive one-liners. It's annoying as hell to read, and looks crappy. If you were unaware, it's possible to add remarks or questions to a previous post by using the "edit" tab. I combined them this time, but I don't feel like doing that forever. Thanks. |

"one squadron are equiped with this,the Jagdgeschwader 400(J.G.400) in two units,with mission of defend synthetic gasoline installations,during May 1944. First actions occured at the end of july,attacking to USAAF B-17 without positive results,and continuing in combat during period of May 1944 to Spring 1945,has very little used,obtain only 9 victories against 14 proper losses."  I think with this in mind, the ME-163 was a dog! Not only did it suck in combat, it could get you very killed just by flying it!  (Although it still would of been a blast to go from S/L to 30,000 ft in 3 minutes!)

 | Actually the Komet had brilliant flight characteristics, and it was only the engine that made it a bad plane. |
