Me-262A1U4 Tank Buster "Snouted Swallow" -Beta 'Plus' Version-

 

For SF/WoV/WoE WW2 Installs

 

A Complete aircraft for your flying pleasure!

 

This skin represents Me-262A1U4s from KG(J) 54 'Totenkopf' in the late 1944 plus time frame in the ETO, for the world of "What If..." SWOTL WW2 '46. It is a semi-fictional skin, as the A1U4 never went into production (only 2 aircraft were actually built). Historically, KG (J) 54 DID convert to Swallow, and flew them in the "Jabo" role, as well as interceptors. The skin included in the pak is based off their paint scheme.

 

This version has a single 50mm cannon centrally mounted on the nose, with 2 30mm Mk.108s as well. It also has the capability on carry up to 2 250kg bombs, drop tanks and 24 R4M unguided rockets on the wings.

 

You'll also find 2 versions of the skin;

One with the swastika painted on and,

another WITHOUT the swastika painted on

 

This aircraft is to be considered as a "Beta +" version, as there are still some issues with the physical model (lod file). There are at present no plans to update the lod, but if/when time presents itself, there may be an updated version available.

These manifest themselves as several stray vertices on the nose, where the wing/engine nacelle meet, a "divot" on the nose aft of the cannon barrel, and the 50mm cannon barrel itself being slightly low, and missing the aerodynamic 'humpish like' shroud fairing blending it into the nose.

 

So, what this means -- you've been warned of inaccuracies, told what they are, so basically....Live With It!!

 

With thanks to the rest of my Dev A-Team members for the support; Capun, Gramps, Charles and Kesselbrut for his superb cockpit!

 

More, detailed info is in the read me, so PLEASE!! -- read it!!
