No, the D's protected the 262's during take off, engaging in combat ith the P-51's etc, once the 262's were up to speed and altitude they would go get the bombers....
No, the discussion is about the protection of 262's during takeoff and landing. They wouldnt send up 190's and 262's. I believe the 262's replaced the 190's on the bomber killing side of things in the late war.
like i said, they didn't have enough planes to choose what they sent up, they were literally sending up everything they had late in the war, and there weren't enough Me-262s to replace the Fw-190A...............
I know, I was wrong about that, that was just a thought I had. But you keep questioning me on a relatively simple point, just to get your posts up probably.
Its a reasonable point - I think the 262 was better at shooting down bombers than the 190A so I thought the Germans might have made the 262 their primary aircraft to send up in that sort of situation.
They wouldnt need D's to cover the A's.

I KNOW THAT!!! I WAS JUST SAYING THAT BECAUSE THE 262 WAS SO EFFECTIVE AT TAKING BOMBERS OUT THAT IT WOULD BE THEIR PRIMARY AIRCRAFT TO SEND UP, NOT ONE THEY WOULD ALWAYS USE, BUT ONE THEY WOULD PREFER TO SEND UP! DO YOU GET THE FRIGGIN' IDEA NOW??????????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
