Me262B-2a vs. P-61 Black Widow

WEATHER: Niteowl or Nitefire
INSERTS: None
MIN.TIME: None
RADAR: FuG 240 "Berlin" (map usable)

There is no record of P-61 Black
Widows ever doing combat with Me262s,
and it is very unlikely that this
ever happened. But if it had, the
contest would have been an inte-
resting one. The Me262 was one of the
world's fastest aircraft at the time,
while the P-61 was rejected for use
as an RAF night fighter because it
was so much slower than the Mosquito.
The Me262 had a heavier forward arma-
ment than the P-61, but the P-61 was
very durable. The P-61 could maneuver
MUCH better than the Me262. While the
jet could only make high-speed passes
for attacks, the P-61 could turn in-
side tightly and probably literally
fly circles around the Me262.

ORDERS: A group of P-61s has been detec-
ted heading for Munich Aerodrome, where
part of your unit's Me262s are based.
Destroy the intruders before they can
cause any damage.
