That late in the war?
Can we say P-51H, anyone?
Maybe even the P-80A.

Umm...
It's B-29 vs. Me 264 (not 262), as in a comparison of the bombers.
Shh...

If we just look at the empty weights, the Me 264 has a lower wing loading than the B-29. The high wing loading arises because the Me 264 had tanks large enough to carry a proportionally larger quantity of fuel. Landing the Me 264 shouldn't necessarily have been any harder than landing a B-29. The problem was take off, which is why I suggested using the most powerful engines available to limit the runway length necessary.High wing load on the Me-264 (as seen when testing the V1) carried a host of problems in performance and handling abilities. This is the reason the Luftwaffe preferred the Ju-290. The Me-264 sahould have been refesigned, which in 43 was already a non-starter and led to the cancellation in 44. The engines were great, being the 801Gs, and the range (as reported by sonderkommando Nebel) was indeed over 9'000 miles.
Geo was accused of being a troll in another thread, so we're having a little fun (as usual).He is not a troll, and he admitted mistake...
