The Me 262 A-1a/U1 severely lacks engine power compared to its contemporaries and is heavy, resulting in a lacklustre acceleration and a poor climb rate. Control surfaces compress above 650 km/h and G-LOC becomes prominent when slightly manoeuvring above 700 km/h. It also performs poorly in a stall, as the control surfaces become ineffective below 350 km/h, making recoveries difficult.

As a modified [[Me 262 A-1a]], its role in the battle has not changed that much. The added cannons make the plane more capable at its battle rating, with a single burst it will obliterate any opponent in its path. Its cannons can carry an ammo belt that has the capability of penetrating the roofs of some tanks when playing in Ground Realistic battles.

The MK 103s can carry an ammo belt that has the capability of penetrating the roofs of some tanks when playing in Ground Realistic battles. It is advisable to fire each pair of cannons separately, because all of its autocannons have a different muzzle velocity (about 200 m/s) and different amounts of ammunition. MK 108s will run dry first, followed by the MK 103s, and lastly the MG 151s.

The Me 262A-1a/U1 is a modification of the world's first mass-produced jet fighter, the German [[Me 262 A-1a|Me 262]] 'Schwalbe'. The armament of the A-1 sub-series, four 30 mm MK.108 autocannons, had a number of drawbacks such as frequent jams and a pronounced ballistic curve: shots from the MK.108 cannons were only accurate to around 300 meters. For these reasons, engineers experimented with different variations of weaponry, including a reinforced cannon battery. As such, the Me.262A-1a/U1 modification was created as part of this program. German engineers managed to fit 6 autocannons in the nose: 2 x 20 mm MG.151/20, 2 x 30 mm stock version MK.108, and 2 x 30 mm MK.103 guns. For the latter, they developed shells with a higher initial speed, and the guns themselves had a longer barrel length than the MK.108, as well as an effective muzzle brake - all to improve the ballistics of the heavy shells. They built a prototype (according to other sources, there were three units), but the project was not entered into mass production. However, one example was flown by one of the most effective jet aces of World War II, Heinz Bär, who flew it at the end of April 1945, and with it, even shot down several Thunderbolts in the skies over Germany.

The example flown by Heinz Bär is disrupted. The Wikipedia article for Heinz Bär, names the fighter he flew as the Me 262 A-1/U5, a prototype that mounted six MK.108 cannons, in contrast to the mixed armament of the Me 262 A-1a/U1.

Ammunition144 rounds
Fire rate450 shots/min
Weapon 22 x 30 mm MK 108 cannon
Ammunition132 rounds

Ammunition292 rounds
Fire rate700 shots/min
Main articles: MK 103 (30 mm), MK 108 (30 mm), MG 151 (20 mm)

The Me 262 A-1a/U1 is armed with:

  • 2 x 30 mm MK 103 cannons, nose-mounted (72 rpg = 144 total)
  • 2 x 30 mm MK 108 cannons, nose-mounted (66 rpg = 132 total)
  • 2 x 20 mm MG 151 cannons, nose-mounted (146 rpg = 292 total)

Usage in battles

As a modified Me 262 A-1a, its role in the battle has not changed that much. The added cannons (namely, the MK 103) make the plane more capable at its battle rating. The MK 103s can carry an ammo belt that has the capability of penetrating the roofs of some tanks when playing in Ground Realistic battles. It is advisable to fire each pair of cannons separately, because all of its autocannons have a different muzzle velocity (about 200 m/s) and different amounts of ammunition. MK 108s will run dry first, followed by the MK 103s, and lastly the MG 151s.

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • Decent offensive armament of 6 autocannons
  • MK 103 cannons can fire HVAP rounds that penetrate 77 mm of armour
  • MK 103s have a relatively high muzzle velocity

Cons:

  • Lacklustre acceleration and poor climb rate
  • Control surfaces compress above 650 km/h
  • Poor stall performance, control surfaces are ineffective below 350 km/h
  • G-LOC quickly becomes prominent when slightly manoeuvring above 700 km/h
  • Poor survivability. Getting hit by anything often results in critical damage, especially the engines
  • Inaccurate and slow guns, difficult to use
  • Lack of suspended armaments
  • Guns have a high tendency to spark or produce little damage, multiple hits on an enemy are usually required
