I'm surprised the jets are not used more

So what was all that "The Me-163 only got 20 kills" ?

Same question I just asked myself . Doesn't mean I don't mean it though. Still think there are some strange aircraft picks.

[Wissam24]

Well, I for one cannot fathom what the Po-2 is doing in there. Considering it has NO forward firing guns, and the bombs it carries are rather the suck, it's pointless.

We could almost make a 'Ridiculous plane choices' post . Not sure the devs would appreciate it though .

Well seeing that the Po-2 is a bomber/recon plane, and not meant to dogfight. If they did have a forward firing gun, it would just add weight and considering the plane is like a WW1 plane, it would need a really light MG to be placed, not like the WW2 heavy MGs like in many many many, fighters etc.

Well..yes. Hence, my point

I think he means in game terms, not reality terms. The bombs, at least in terms of taking out Strike targets, are absolutely pathetic, and since there's no point in an unarmed (or near-unarmed) recon plane in the game, it does seem kind of pointless.

I think the important distinction that needs to be made here is this;

Game - for fun
Reality - not for fun

What we need, is a squadron set up only to fly He-126 Salamanders! Me-262s and Me-163 Komets just seem to be very broad in most aspects, the He-126, just seems to be more flexable? I dunno.
