The funny thing is that according to German Combat reports, ME262's MK-108 30mm cannon's 30x90mm HE Shells(Mostly, also have armour piercing etc) are more than capable of taking down most of the single-engine fighters at that time WITH A SINGLE HIT(4-8 rounds to take down 4-engine bombers like B17/B24), including any variant of P51... Where as in 00:51, that P51 took at least 6 round of it... and these 30mm impact just looks like German MG13(13mm) or even just MG17s mounted on ME109 variants.... The accuracy of the movie is even more questionable in 2:47 when both aircraft charge head-on... The impact of of shells from 262 literally looks like standard MG17 bullet's impact, and the pilot took at least 4 of those 30mm(maybe just shrapnels since there's engine and glass in front of him taking the direct hit from the shell )..... If it's in reality that P51 gonna get tear up into parts right at the moment those 30mms land on any parts of it, and if pilot took just one round directly(and it detonated successfully), that poor bastard's whole upper body should be gone(yep that's the actual impact of a bloody 30mm high-explosive/armour piercing shell)...... But yeah, its Hollywood so I get it :/
Thats right as the germans in ww2 are simply not allowed to win anything as it wouldnt be accurate because the allies won. The Nazis did nothing right and had even worse accurasy than stormtoopers what litterally every D-Day movie shows as the germans at best kill like 10 soldier or only just wound them.I mean its not like germany completly overrun poland belgium, netherlands and france and took a giant part of the ussr. But the germans are not capable at anything in ww2 because americans are unstoppable and literally god so you cant heart them and when you say something against that you are at least a nazi and a commie as well. By the way Bitain almost lost the battle of britain if Hitler wasnt so stupid to try to bomb London to the gound instead of attacking airfields and industry after churchill ordered a bomb run on berlin to make hitler angry.
@jaydee040 But the fact that the p51 was faster in the dive did not help at all in dogfight. The Me262 only had a really vulnerable moment that was at the time of landing and in fact was where most of the victories over those planes were achieved
fun fact the worlds greatest ace(i forgot his name) was a German pilot never once got shot down he did have to make 14 emergency landings but not cause of enemy fire, instead he would wait until he was about 20m away from his target then open fire which essentially instantly shredded the enemy however the debris would break his plane. I'm saying this cause this part 2:52 reminded me of him edit: the ace i am talking about his Eric Heartmann who is considered the "ace of aces"
Yeah I was saying this in the context that those shells didn't even knock him out, and I also guess they were all dud shells cause they didn't detonate
@@gorgi7009 flak vest only protects the pilot from fragments not hits. Also if it’s the plane that gets hit by 30mm, the vest won’t matter. The aircraft will be shredded.
@@ariq4209 dude the fuckin pilot would have basically exploded, when they tested a bf-109s 20 mm cannons on a spits wing it completely exploded it off so imagine what a 30 mm will do to a mustang 😬
Ok as a study of WW2 I’ll toss this out there for anyone wanting authenticity. The ME-262 appeared far too late in the war to have a significant impact on things, air combat losses were actually pretty low. The 262 pilots were advised to not stick it it out in ACM with escort fighters . They were advised to approach front on and as fast as possible. They would in essence “ boom and zoom” denying the escorts the chance to engage them. Dogfights did happen but it was the exception not the rule. The ME-262 actually had slow responding throttles, and mishandled throttles often resulted in flame outs. The Germans tended to build 262 units from the most experienced combat pilots they had left feeling their skill would let them employ the jet most effectively. So you’ve got a plane with tricky throttles that liked to burn out motors, yep the TBO on a Jumo 004 turbojet was in many cases just 30 hours. So that meant that you might have gotten maybe a weeks air combat before you had to pull the engines to rebuild them ( par for the course when most were cobbled together in peoples basements and slave factories). Most 262 kills by allied fighters were on takeoff and landing, the 262 was very vulnerable that way
I bet any aircraft is vulnerable while takeoff and landing, except P-47 Mustang, those planes landed and took off at 400 mph. Like the famous millenium falcon! But wait, that´s scifi.........
@@berndbrakemeier1418 The touchy throttles made the 262 exceptionally tricky to land. On landing a normal piston engine fighter just shoves the throttle to war emergency power, retracts the flaps to combat position and retracts his landing gear if attacked or jumped. If you tried that on a 262 chances are 1 or both engines flame out and your a dead stick landing. The 262 airfields actually had FW-190s orbiting it to offer additional protection to the 262s on takeoff or landing till it could get its flaps up and the gear retracted
@@wombatwilly1002 I’m not saying it couldn’t work but 262s were rare to begin with plus those 30mm cannons in the nose were utterly devastated if they hit you. It’s probable they got noob pilots who weren’t as versed in skill as older more seasoned veterans were. Like I said the 262 was so valuable they had FW-190s flying combat air patrol over the bases on 26# takeoffs and landings. They were supposed to protect the slow to respond 262 when they were most vulnerable. Most us jet kills were made on takeoff or landing
Finally, someone actually analyzing instead of automatically saying that the movie is bad just because the 262 was faster and using that as their only piece of evidence
262s were less maneuverable and lost alot of speed when turning p-51s also had better acceleration, the 262 was very flawed and it's pilots were inexperienced
Actually that's not true. 262s had extremes flaws in their technolgical designs. P-51's were still far superior aircrafts during the time. Matter a fact, 262s are still rated fairly low as a "powerful plane". P-51's would be a better option in combat if you were in WW2.
@@goldenhawk352 I won't explain all the flaws of a 262 but the biggest one was that manuvering such an aircraft was exetremly difficult at those times, P-51s used that to their advantage as seen in the movies Red Tails. Sure a 262 moves a lot faster but it can't dodge fighter aircrafts easily. 262 was originally planned as a bomber plane, but lacking many tools, completeing bombing missions was difficult and it was redesigned as a fighter. But still as a fighter the 262 still had many flaws in it's design. The only reason 262 stood a chance was basically it's speed and guns. Everything else about the aircraft but complete utter trash.

Yeah. Gotta love ‘Murican propoga- I mean engineering! Willing to bet those Me-262 engines would have instantly choked and died if they’d flown through a light cloud.
This battle engagement really happened. But it’s inaccurate for Hollywood and “MURICA” purposes. Tuskegee pilots of 332 FG escorted B24s on a 1600 mile trip to Berlin. Me 262s led by a ace were able to rake the bombers with 30mm shells and At least 5 B24s exploded. 2 black Tuskegee pilots were able to sneak up on me 262s after and shoot them down. Both German pilots bailed out and survived. One black pilot was denied ace status because of his color. White pilots of 31 FG joined in to intervene and were LATE in order to relieve the black pilots.
You completely missed everything I said. The me 262s in this battle downed more bombers and fighters than shown here. So the germans are portrayed weak here. Second the black ace was denied his last kill purposely to deny him of ace status.
Ah yes, I had read about that too. Apparently the Me262 suffered engine failure and in an effort to restart the engine,the pilot executed a shallow dive but the P51s caught up to him and shot him down
Yes, learn history. In the head-on attack, the combined closing speed of about 720 mph ~1.200 km/h was way too high for accurate shooting. All the MK 108 could only fire about 44 shells per second (650 rounds/min from each cannon). Even from astern the closing speed was so great, that at maximum speed the ME 262 had less then two seconds time to shoot. And that is just the theoretical time, because the ME 262 would ram its target if the pilot uses the entire 2 seconds for shooting, while he is in range. Only with advanced tactics and missiles as armament was a braking before the attack no longer necessary. But even these advances couldn't compensate the lack of training of German pilots and so they were still possible to fight. Even Soviet IL 2 Sturmoviks have shot down three ME-262s and they are not even half as fast as the ME-262 and actually pure ground attack aircrafts.
Yep definitely the p 51 is faster than a me 262 in a dive even if the 262 was farther ahead the p 51's 50.cals had at least 1200 yards extra firing range than the 262s 30'mm cannons
El título "Red Tails: P-51 Mustang vs Messerschmitt Me 262" sugiere una película de acción histórica centrada en enfrentamientos aéreos durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, específicamente entre los aviones estadounidenses P-51 Mustang y los alemanes Messerschmitt Me 262. La elección de "Red Tails" como título también podría ser una referencia a los pilotos afroamericanos conocidos como los "Red Tails" que volaron en la Segunda Guerra Mundial. En general, parece ser un título atractivo para los amantes de las películas de guerra y de aviación.
@@TheJimyyy mine shell is the correct name. Minengeschoß (mine shell) is a type of high explosive shell with very thin walls, which allowed for more explosive to be packed in them.
@@TheJimyyy also the term mineshell is used for the german he shell that has more high explosive filler than normal. Second there is an armored plate right behind the pilot so even if the mineshell did not explode after going through the pilot it would have exploded after hitting the armored plate
I am just here to say that whoever had the idea of a Mustang surviving a head on attack towards 4 RheinMetal Borsig Mk108 30mm cannons should stop using bath salts .
The ME-262 would not be used in this way. They came in head-on and fast, cut loose with the guns, then sped away before any escort fighters could engage. By the time the 262's showed up, the air-war was pretty much over with. The allies had totally air superiority and could bomb at will, any target they wanted. Even if the ME-262 took out 100% of an allied mission (this never happened) it would result in zero impact on the Allies ability to continue to pulverize the enemy. By the end of 1944 the War Department's main problem was over production of planes and tanks. This is why the standard "repair" procedure for 1945 for damaged fighters and bombers was simply to push them to the scrap pile and issue the pilot and or crew a new plane.
Hello friend, I come to inform you that the me 262 was superior to the p 51 in almost everything except maneuverability. Furthermore, its 20mm or more cannons would have killed the pilots and destroyed the planes, especially in that face to face. The only thing I'm telling you is never trust Holywood.
How did a 6-caliber 50 p51 beat a me 262 with 4 mk108 in combat? and how did the mustang pass through the wreckage of me 262 and not even get damaged? this scene makes no se.
how does a person still function after having several 30mm holes punctured in their chest impacting at the bullet speed plus the speed of his aircraft?
Yeah right 30mm canons are only going to wound the black pilot, but his .50s (12.7mm) are going to obliterate the German fighter, Holyweed makes me laugh.
Dragon Gaming Yes, true. The British tested one 30mm mk108 shells on the wing of the spitfire, it made a hole so big it would make the plane lose control.
Dragon Gaming There Is"genuine" gun-camera footage from P-51s downing Me-262s, they go down just like any other fighter of the era. I'm sure there is the possibility of one exploding in mid air (especially since American fighters used API ammunition). But the point here is how Hollywood stretches facts to suit their story and intent. German soldiers are portrayed like mindless robotic idiots, that could not be further from the truth, they almost always fought with less equipment and outnumbered - sometimes against overwhelming odds, what they lacked in sheer numbers and equipment they made up for by using intelligent and clever tactics- I have personally spoken to Brit, - American and even Russian WW2 vets- they all have great respect for the German soldier.
The speed of the 30mm cannons rounds were slow compared to a .50cal but if one of those 30mm minesholbe (mine shell) hit the Mustang it would have been toast. The rounds were designed to kill a bomber with just 3 rounds out of 360 the me262 carried
Everything is wrong with these scenes. 1. Dude shot with 30mm and survives and his plane too 2. P51 follows me262 and able to keep up on his 262 tail 3. B17 survives multiple hits from me 262. Note. - nothing can catch me262 in ww2 unless it is taking off or landing. And in this scene they are flying at combat speed. Result - it is totally nonsense to watch such aa clip even for entertainment.
oh yeah and another thing the Me 262 has a mixture of HE and tracer rounds so round would explode on impact separating and creating holes, and in the head on part, the guy would have blown up into pieces and the engine would have blown up from the HE shells
umm the P-51H can go 700kph and the Me 262 goes 800 kph but the movie had P-51D so you are right but they went up altitude so they might have been able to go fast too Edit: The 262 lost speed while in combat
@@shauneeeeeeeee3876 A p-51 would never be able to go 700kph it would have to dive to achieve such speed meanwhile the Me 262 could got up to 800kph in level flight no problem, also the 262 pilots were trained to keep momentum in flight so they lost near to no speed.
Okay, I have a few questions about this scene: 1. How do 30mm HE cannon rounds do _less_ damage than 12.7mm machine gun rounds? 2. B-17s were called “Flying Fortresses” because they were tough as hell and had _no less than 13 0.50 caliber machine guns in each bomber._ With this in mind, *WHY IS THERE NOT A SINGLE SHOT FIRED FROM THE ENTIRE BOMBER FORMATION DURING THE ENTIRE FIGHT?* 3. At what point did anyone anywhere in history claim that a P-51 Mustang was capable of staying with an Me-262- _the world’s first successful jet fighter_ -in a *dive?* 4. HOW DO YOU SURVIVE TAKING 30mm HE CANNON ROUNDS TO THE CHEST? Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
icdont think that the b17 were able to hit the me262 because they wer to fast, but they would have at least tried it when the me262 wasnt in a dogfight with a p51
5. we see a Me 262 go into a spiral after losing an engine but they can fly fine with only 1 enigne 6. the Me 262s are very late war and the same with the B-17s shown but the mustangs they're using are only P-51-C's which were only used early/mid war 7. during the war bombing raids were mainly escorted but P-47 thunder bolts instead of mustangs because the mustangs had much less fuel capacity then the P-47s and couldnt fly nearly far enough
When a much-faster turbo jet attempted to evade a pursuer, it was very important--at least, in Hollywood--not to utilize the speed advantage and pull away, but to roll and roll, bleed off airspeed, and give the slower prop plane a better chance to stay on its six and shoot it down. It was just so much cooler looking.
We will never forget the red tails in our hearts they were damn good flyers especially the guy that died at the end of that battle we will never forget the Tuskegee airmen Legends never die 🫡🫡🫡🫡🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲 true American
No it didnt, the ME262 was produced far too late into the war, Germany had little to no experienced pilots left to fly the plane, and almost all the runways were bombed to hell by the allies at this point in the war, not to mention fuel was EXTREMELY scarce... (which the ME262 needed a TON of) With all that being said, there presence in the war was too miniscule to be of any real use.
@@sturmgewehr4454 the engine problems and pilots held it back. But it wouldve been cucked by Meteors anyway if the war goes on. And there's actually aces that flew the 262 towards the end of the war and survived.
German pilots partly scored higher kills because of a target rich environment and a hell of a lot of missions. The highest kills for the Americans was around 60 while the German pilots broke 200-300s quite a few times
Not in this movie. Here a 30mm can not penetrate the P-51D hood. Three 30mm rounds can only wound an Red Tails pilot. But a single 0.50 round can put to pieces a whole Me.262 Squadron. I am puzzled of the damages 30mm rounds can inflict on B.17s but how ineffective these rounds are against P.51s. I thought it was the other way!
According to some German experiments in WW2, a single 30mm round was usually enough to take down most fighters. Two would always do the job. Three were enough to shot down a B-24, a B-17 was tougher, it needed up to five. But, as I pointed out, not in the case of the Red Tails, these were specials and their planes were also special!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This kind of movies does them no service!
I think a strategy used by Allied pilots was to trail the Me-262 base to its base. The throttle response of those early jet engines was slow and troublesome. It took some time for the engines to slow down for landing with the pilot needing to be careful and slow reducing the power. If the Allied pilots attacked while jet was slow, the pilot would move the throttle forward but engines would take time to speed up and in moving the throttle forward fast one or both engines could flameout.
The Me-262 shouldn't be able to shoot it did. The upper 2 30mm cannons only carried 100 rounds each, while the lower 2 30mm cannon only carried 80 rounds a piece.
The Mustang was the most versatile fighter of WWII. The Mustang more than held it's own against the Fockle-Wulf 190, the Me-262, and everything else the Germans had.
This movie was a real chance to honor the courage, skill and sacrifice of the Red Tails' pilots but it instead wound up being another Hollywood comic book rendition of history.
@@RetroFlame04 altho8gh being more agile the 262 was faster by 100mph had better performance at high altitude and even though the 108s are slow they are meant to destroy anything in their path so
@Retro Flame actually the Me-262s packed better guns they had 4 30 MM guns that would shred a P-51 in two I am surprised that during that head on the red tails pilot wasn’t blown up inside the cockpit
This must have been extremely frightening for the pilots who've seen them first. A plane that could go 150mph/240kmh faster than your fastest fighter, with cannons that would shred planes to pieces with just a single hit already and a far superior range and operational altitude. They could do hit and runs faster than you could even realize what is going on, and you've lost several planes already.
The 262 dominated just about every battle it engaged in scoring an average 4:1 kill ratio so you usually died if the ME pilot had any skills. The problem was that even that ratio only accounted for an average of 1% of the actual allied forces engaged in that mission. In the ME's first big engagement they sent up 37 planes against 1,221 bombers and 632 fighters killing 13 for a loss of 3. 4x as many kills as losses is good on paper but when the enemy is sending up 50x as many planes as you are then that ratio does not mean whole lot.Had the Germans ever been able to field enough of them properly then they would have had air superiority but the sheer volume of the devastation being unleashed on the German fuel and industry meant the 262 was doomed. Can you imagine that group of 250-300 ME attacking the bomber formations ? it would be disasterfor allied forces and they never attempt bombing the germany frequently. I must say with my al respects to afro american pilots but this movie is another american mambo jambo propaganda.
you do know the ME-262 other than its speed and weapons were a flaming hot piece of shit? engines had to be replaced after every battle. but this was 6 years ago, so I'm not even gonna bother
ik this is unrealistic but the scene where a p-51 is going down and his friend follows him until he splashes into the ground is some of the sad details
Most victories over Me262 was when it was landing or taking off.By 1945 most airfields were known to the Allies or as the Germans knew them die Amis.Towards the end the Germans used the autobahns as runways+the wooded area alongside as cover..
Bart Bols look i really have no time to argue with you... if you look close you will see the 30mm rounds hit the pilot not the shrapnel. (here's a hint for the next conversation you'll take part in: write everything in 1 comment)

I bet any aircraft is vulnerable while takeoff and landing, except P-47 Mustang, those planes landed and took off at 400 mph. Like the famous millenium falcon! But wait, that´s scifi.........
@@berndbrakemeier1418 The touchy throttles made the 262 exceptionally tricky to land. On landing a normal piston engine fighter just shoves the throttle to war emergency power, retracts the flaps to combat position and retracts his landing gear if attacked or jumped. If you tried that on a 262 chances are 1 or both engines flame out and your a dead stick landing. The 262 airfields actually had FW-190s orbiting it to offer additional protection to the 262s on takeoff or landing till it could get its flaps up and the gear retracted
You nailed it pretty good but the Red Tails were credited with three downed 262's over Berlin in head to head dogfights?
@@wombatwilly1002 I’m not saying it couldn’t work but 262s were rare to begin with plus those 30mm cannons in the nose were utterly devastated if they hit you. It’s probable they got noob pilots who weren’t as versed in skill as older more seasoned veterans were. Like I said the 262 was so valuable they had FW-190s flying combat air patrol over the bases on 26# takeoffs and landings. They were supposed to protect the slow to respond 262 when they were most vulnerable. Most us jet kills were made on takeoff or landing
Finally, someone actually analyzing instead of automatically saying that the movie is bad just because the 262 was faster and using that as their only piece of evidence

ME-262 was over 100 mph faster than than a P-51D, "most" of the 262 losses were when they were attacked on landing after a mission.
1:44
262s were less maneuverable and lost alot of speed when turning p-51s also had better acceleration, the 262 was very flawed and it's pilots were inexperienced
no mat por que te cancelaron XD
Actually that's not true. 262s had extremes flaws in their technolgical designs.
P-51's were still far superior aircrafts during the time. Matter a fact, 262s are still rated fairly low as a "powerful plane".
P-51's would be a better option in combat if you were in WW2.
@@goldenhawk352 I won't explain all the flaws of a 262 but the biggest one was that manuvering such an aircraft was exetremly difficult at those times, P-51s used that to their advantage as seen in the movies Red Tails.
Sure a 262 moves a lot faster but it can't dodge fighter aircrafts easily.
262 was originally planned as a bomber plane, but lacking many tools, completeing bombing missions was difficult and it was redesigned as a fighter.
But still as a fighter the 262 still had many flaws in it's design. The only reason 262 stood a chance was basically it's speed and guns. Everything else about the aircraft but complete utter trash.

This battle engagement really happened. But it’s inaccurate for Hollywood and “MURICA” purposes. Tuskegee pilots of 332 FG escorted B24s on a 1600 mile trip to Berlin. Me 262s led by a ace were able to rake the bombers with 30mm shells and At least 5 B24s exploded. 2 black Tuskegee pilots were able to sneak up on me 262s after and shoot them down. Both German pilots bailed out and survived. One black pilot was denied ace status because of his color. White pilots of 31 FG joined in to intervene and were LATE in order to relieve the black pilots.
Foreshadowing of today's events about black lives
That's not a "murica" moment how is it propaganda to use b17s over b24s? Mind you, a superior plane to the b17?
You completely missed everything I said. The me 262s in this battle downed more bombers and fighters than shown here. So the germans are portrayed weak here. Second the black ace was denied his last kill purposely to deny him of ace status.
Obi Wan Kenobi how?
Ah yes, I had read about that too. Apparently the Me262 suffered engine failure and in an effort to restart the engine,the pilot executed a shallow dive but the P51s caught up to him and shot him down

Comment section in a nutshell
Aviation nerd lmao. Btw War Thunder pilot here.. not an ace, just pilot
I think most people here are just bland since they are neither of those
Oh yes. Definitely. P51 catches up to jet in a dive and a straight line...
Yes, learn history. In the head-on attack, the combined closing speed of about 720 mph ~1.200 km/h was way too high for accurate shooting. All the MK 108 could only fire about 44 shells per second (650 rounds/min from each cannon). Even from astern the closing speed was so great, that at maximum speed the ME 262 had less then two seconds time to shoot.
And that is just the theoretical time, because the ME 262 would ram its target if the pilot uses the entire 2 seconds for shooting, while he is in range.
Only with advanced tactics and missiles as armament was a braking before the attack no longer necessary. But even these advances couldn't compensate the lack of training of German pilots and so they were still possible to fight.
Even Soviet IL 2 Sturmoviks have shot down three ME-262s and they are not even half as fast as the ME-262 and actually pure ground attack aircrafts.
War thunder
Yep definitely the p 51 is faster than a me 262 in a dive even if the 262 was farther ahead the p 51's 50.cals had at least 1200 yards extra firing range than the 262s 30'mm cannons
America will always win
Listen i diot the aircrafts also p51 and me 262 lower the speed auto in high turnes which make them almoust the same speed i diot
It may be Hollywood but the REAL TRUTH is that the Red Tails were credited with the first ME262 kills in real life! God BLESS all who serve!
El título "Red Tails: P-51 Mustang vs Messerschmitt Me 262" sugiere una película de acción histórica centrada en enfrentamientos aéreos durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, específicamente entre los aviones estadounidenses P-51 Mustang y los alemanes Messerschmitt Me 262. La elección de "Red Tails" como título también podría ser una referencia a los pilotos afroamericanos conocidos como los "Red Tails" que volaron en la Segunda Guerra Mundial. En general, parece ser un título atractivo para los amantes de las películas de guerra y de aviación.

The ME-262 would not be used in this way. They came in head-on and fast, cut loose with the guns, then sped away before any escort fighters could engage. By the time the 262's showed up, the air-war was pretty much over with. The allies had totally air superiority and could bomb at will, any target they wanted. Even if the ME-262 took out 100% of an allied mission (this never happened) it would result in zero impact on the Allies ability to continue to pulverize the enemy. By the end of 1944 the War Department's main problem was over production of planes and tanks. This is why the standard "repair" procedure for 1945 for damaged fighters and bombers was simply to push them to the scrap pile and issue the pilot and or crew a new plane.

Dragon Gaming There Is"genuine" gun-camera footage from P-51s downing Me-262s, they go down just like any other fighter of the era. I'm sure there is the possibility of one exploding in mid air (especially since American fighters used API ammunition). But the point here is how Hollywood stretches facts to suit their story and intent. German soldiers are portrayed like mindless robotic idiots, that could not be further from the truth, they almost always fought with less equipment and outnumbered - sometimes against overwhelming odds, what they lacked in sheer numbers and equipment they made up for by using intelligent and clever tactics- I have personally spoken to Brit, - American and even Russian WW2 vets- they all have great respect for the German soldier.
WWI I marvel?30mm cannon can tear off b17 how come p51 can still alive with such direct hit. Entertainment but still consider the basic knowledge
The speed of the 30mm cannons rounds were slow compared to a .50cal but if one of those 30mm minesholbe (mine shell) hit the Mustang it would have been toast. The rounds were designed to kill a bomber with just 3 rounds out of 360 the me262 carried

When a much-faster turbo jet attempted to evade a pursuer, it was very important--at least, in Hollywood--not to utilize the speed advantage and pull away, but to roll and roll, bleed off airspeed, and give the slower prop plane a better chance to stay on its six and shoot it down.

Only 1 german plane was shot down what is the pilot made of
No it didnt, the ME262 was produced far too late into the war, Germany had little to no experienced pilots left to fly the plane, and almost all the runways were bombed to hell by the allies at this point in the war, not to mention fuel was EXTREMELY scarce... (which the ME262 needed a TON of) With all that being said, there presence in the war was too miniscule to be of any real use.
@@luccixen1531 no me262 was really succesful but they couldnt change the war
@@sturmgewehr4454 the engine problems and pilots held it back. But it wouldve been cucked by Meteors anyway if the war goes on. And there's actually aces that flew the 262 towards the end of the war and survived.

Do they have any idea what a single 30mm round would do to a P51, let alone a person?!
+Kamen G person go boom
Not in this movie. Here a 30mm can not penetrate the P-51D hood. Three 30mm rounds can only wound an Red Tails pilot. But a single 0.50 round can put to pieces a whole Me.262 Squadron.
I am puzzled of the damages 30mm rounds can inflict on B.17s but how ineffective these rounds are against P.51s. I thought it was the other way!
I think he didn't die cuz of the cockpit which only blocked the bullet or made it into shrapnel?Or maybe I'm nine years old
According to some German experiments in WW2, a single 30mm round was usually enough to take down most fighters. Two would always do the job. Three were enough to shot down a B-24, a B-17 was tougher, it needed up to five. But, as I pointed out, not in the case of the Red Tails, these were specials and their planes were also special!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This kind of movies does them no service!
@@sheniloiu5293 ya I like your explanation
"how did he survive a 30mm" because of black Jesus
I think a strategy used by Allied pilots was to trail the Me-262 base to its base. The throttle response of those early jet engines was slow and troublesome. It took some time for the engines to slow down for landing with the pilot needing to be careful and slow reducing the power. If the Allied pilots attacked while jet was slow, the pilot would move the throttle forward but engines would take time to speed up and in moving the throttle forward fast one or both engines could flameout.
Bold of you to assume they had fuel, but the grans placed A CRAP TONN of AA in airfields. It was suicidal to attack if withing range of the airfield.
@@alexandrutheodorbileca4266 didn’t assume. I read about it. Allied bombers attacked airfields and attacked the jets when they could.

UNREALISTIC HOLLYWOOD!
This must have been extremely frightening for the pilots who've seen them first. A plane that could go 150mph/240kmh faster than your fastest fighter, with cannons that would shred planes to pieces with just a single hit already and a far superior range and operational altitude. They could do hit and runs faster than you could even realize what is going on, and you've lost several planes already.
The 262 dominated just about every battle it engaged in scoring an average 4:1 kill ratio so you usually died if the ME pilot had any skills. The problem was that even that ratio only accounted for an average of 1% of the actual allied forces engaged in that mission. In the ME's first big engagement they sent up 37 planes against 1,221 bombers and 632 fighters killing 13 for a loss of 3. 4x as many kills as losses is good on paper but when the enemy is sending up 50x as many planes as you are then that ratio does not mean whole lot.Had the Germans ever been able to field enough of them properly then they would have had air superiority but the sheer volume of the devastation being unleashed on the German fuel and industry meant the 262 was doomed. Can you imagine that group of 250-300 ME attacking the bomber formations ? it would be disasterfor allied forces and they never attempt bombing the germany frequently. I must say with my al respects to afro american pilots but this movie is another american mambo jambo propaganda.
@Albert Carranza do you think what gonna happen if you hit by 30mm shell ? Bleed ? Lol. One 30mm enough to shot down a P-51
Luckily hitler still lost ww2
you do know the ME-262 other than its speed and weapons were a flaming hot piece of shit?
engines had to be replaced after every battle. but this was 6 years ago, so I'm not even gonna bother
@@irishman3406 not to mention they were introduced very late to the war to make a dent, although cool looking, mostly Nothing more then that
The Me 262 is Doom from the start.
2:48 what???
His entire stumach would have been gone by a single 30 let stand a full burst
Plot armour at its finest
And the P-51 wiiins yeess Americans are awesome 😂😂😂😂😂😂 what a fucking joke
@@shingoshoji9970 more likely it's entire body since 30 mm minengeschoss had 100 g of highly explosive material
Front facing would have extended the me262's range as it didn't have to be angled to hit targets at specifically 500m.
ik this is unrealistic but the scene where a p-51 is going down and his friend follows him until he splashes into the ground is some of the sad details
what is the name of the music in this video?
ME-262 making epic stunts and turns
So many dogfights in a tight area without friendly fire
*HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?!??!*
Uu idk really but good luck maybe
Dont no but I no what you mean as they would have to give up speed to do this or they would of stulled
About the friendly fire , the Germans can identify the other German planes because of the yellow nose and the "Balkenkreuz" cross on their planes
@@RuminatingKiwi927 No, he's referring to the fact that none of the bombers got destroyed or hit
Aces were able to pull these stunts to down bombers. Research it actual accounts of ww2.
Most victories over Me262 was when it was landing or taking off.By 1945 most airfields were known to the Allies or as the Germans knew them die Amis.Towards the end the Germans used the autobahns as runways+the wooded area alongside as cover..
7 years ago
The song really works well for this
wow i still watch this every other month
2:45 impossible. the me262 had 4x30mm cannons. 1 shot could rip off a limb of a person. and this dude endures several shots? what...?
GRaToMiC I agree, Lightning's p51 should have been long gone... Lol, no offense but this movie was so biased towards the Americans XD
Bart Bols
they did not have light machineguns with their armament, as their only purpose was to intercept strong bombers where MG's were useless
Bart Bols
look i really have no time to argue with you... if you look close you will see the 30mm rounds hit the pilot not the shrapnel.
