Project Salamander; Heinkel 162 (He-162)

[xoknight]

In the late years of WWII, the Germans were facing trouble with the allied bombers, they had the Me-163 and Me-262's but they were not manufactured fast enough, were too expensive, and took maintenance. The He-162 was to counter and solve that problem. It was made with wood and metal and had a light armament of 30 or 20 mm cannons. It had one turbo jet mounted on top of the fuselage, had stubby wings and was very sleek and was slower than the Me-163. But it took less maintenance, and had a lot more fuel, actually had time to shoot a decent strafes at bombers and could had the option of a throttle, unlike the Me-163. Sadly (well...not really) most of the German jets entered production and service too late.

Very smooth to fly, SAS off? No problem!, very good glider, I recommend infinite fuel to be activated (you can still fly with out it)

SAS on: Has possible chance of producing oscillation at high speeds. Smoother controls

SAS off: More difficult to control. A lot more fun, maneuverable, and sets a challenge to the pilot.
