How many ground attack missions did the 262 actually fly?

I'm not trying to be a jerk, it's an honest question.
Oh, and if it is '46, how can there be historical load outs?

I think the point of this is trying to get to a more accurate simulation of "what could have been, or possibly was." The A-2 certainly used AB custer munitions - these were often preferred given that dive-bombing at high speed was dangerous and level bombing was difficult. I wasn't asking to mount X-4s (which would have certainly been a store for the fighter had time gone on) or X-7s (which would be especially fun to strap onto a 190) - just more variety in the bombload, 500kg bombs, and perhaps the 21cm mortars.
And no, I'm not certain how many a/g missions the 262 flew, but it was used in that facility for sure. Having a bit more flexibility in what you could do with the aircraft would be very welcome.

Forget bomb load outs I want this modeled in the game
 "My first kill on the Me 262 came about almost by accident, you could say. I had taken off in an attempt to intercept a high-flying reconnaissance Lightning. Cround-control vectored me on the target faultlessly. Not that he was difficult to spot, for he was drawing a nice broad condensation trail in his wake. I approached out of the sun from behind and slightly above. When about 80m (262ft) distant I ducked into the condensation trail, casting a quick glance down to check my instruments and gun indicator lights. When I looked up again a split second later, the Lightning was filling my windscreen. I tried desperately to pull up above him, but it was too late. There was an almighty crash, and then he disappeared. I waited for a few seconds, expecting a wing to fall off, or an engine to flame out. But nothing of the sort happened. Just a few nasty dents, but my crate continued to fly". Hauptmann Georg-Peter Eder, 7. Jagdgeschwader. Back to the OP's request. I think the game should stick to manufacturers data.

To me the Me262 is definitly widely on the '44/45 side... not a 'What if' so to say. Not sure, what a perhaps realistic, but unhistorical loadout would make of it.

The 262 conducted hit and run raids against allied airfields and ground units from the autumn of 1944 until the end of hostilities.
Loadouts were usually 2x AB 250 or 2x SD 250. Single AB or SD 500 were also used frequently. Source: Osprey Combat Aircraft No 83 Me262 Bomber and reconnaisance Units by R Forsyth and E J Creek.

Quote:
Only around 200 Me 262s of all types ever flew operationally. Another thousand or so were constructed. There seems to have been enough of them flying around to make the RAF paint their Meteors white, to prevent Allied AAA crews from mistaking them for Luftwaffe jets.
