C'mon get a ZR1, put sleek tires, and goes on mountainous road on a rainy day and you'll wish you'd buy a Renault !

Granted, the Me-262 is not everything the myths would have us belive!

But just because you missed the TECHNICAL INTELLIGENCE (T-2 AMC) statement, i.e.

"with the exception of the directional hunting or yawing"

That is no reason to equate the Me-262 to a Renault!

I wouldn't drive a Renault on 'slick' tyres either on a rainy day on a mountain road..

It did have 4x 30mm canon! Big low velocity rounds... ridicules fire power.
So it wasn't a sharp shooting sniper of a plane at high speed. The weapons they put on it did not need to be aimed terribly precisely I suspect.
