He-162 question

[Drezed]

Has the engine output, or weight of the He-162 been changed as of the release of "46"? I had played the single mission for the 162 before '46 w/ at least a 50% chance of success, but now the other 3 planes in my flight all crash into the nearby trees on take-off. It's as if there is no longer enough runway for proper take-off speed. The second flight in the group does make it, due to it's position behind the first flight. Anyone else notice performance issues w/ the 162?

Not on my end. It must just be a slight change in the AI coding. the 162 is still a wicked little torpedo.

Rgr that. Makes that mission quite a bummer though! :(

Yeah...checked that out. Definitely happens. First bunch doesn't get off the ground very well anymore.

Maybe its not weight but thrust?

(I've checked nothing.) What engines push the He-162?

Single jet engine. I think its a Jumo 004 off of the Me-262...but I'm wondering if I'm wrong on that. I'm just wondering that if they did a bunch of work on the jets for IL-2 1946...maybe the thrust values were changed for the jets...since they use the same engine in certain types. This was an unexpected result? No idea.

Bmw 003.

Thanks for bringing up the matter, I experience the same problem.
