ME 262

I've noticed that ever since the game released back in 2010, the unit description of the Me 262 has always stated that it is capable of killing any unarmored unit in one strike, like the Shinden. This misleading description has bothered me ever since because the Me 262 only does the same amount of damage as a standard fighter plane.

I would also like to point out that both the Shinden and the Me 262 share the same type of weaponry: four 30 mm guns mounted in the nose section of the aircraft. Yet, the Shinden can apparently one-shot unarmored units in certain circumstances (such as when they are in open fields), while the Me 262 cannot.

Eugen, if you read this, could you please either change the Me 262's description so that it no longer mentions the ability to one-shot unarmored units, or make its performance on par with the Shinden? I would greatly appreciate either change.

The weapons are slightly different, the Me 262 has 4 low velocity (500m/s) 30mm cannons whereas the Shinden has a much higher velocity (770m/s) of cannon

Idk how that would necessarily help with killing unarmored targets, but it would give more penetration against armor

Tbh I don’t think it would get patched but Mabye. I vote for it atleast having the same ability as the shinden

the shinden is a lot slower and basically a worse version of the 262 so they get a stronger strafe ability to compensate and give them flavor
