Hoi There!

i have to say Thank You to two persons before and everything:

To: "Binni" Wolfgangn  Binder whom have created the original Me-262A-1a/U4 3dz,
And: "Mosi" Christian Mosimann whom have created the original Skin to the Me-262A-1a/U4.

And another Big Thank You goes to "Knegel aka LLv_34_Knegel" Ralf Kraeft for making the RP2.2 Me-262A-1a/U4 Flight model and the weapon of the plane.

Just a slight notice: if You are using the RP2.2 gun, be aware that You have only 30 rounds, but ONE round from the Cannon can blast away the whole wing or tail of a B-17 or a B-24.

But be carefull You have only 30 rounds they have 12,000...

In the following You can read the "almost original" readme of the LR Me-262A-1a/U4. i have deleted a few lines from the beggining of it.




Messerschmitt Me 262A-1a/U4,

A more spectacular installation was provided by a 50-mm. Rheinmetall BK 5 
first tested in a modified Me 262A-la (Werk- Nr. 130 083), the barrel of 
the immense cannon projecting almost 7 ft. ahead of the fuselage. The BK 5 
was installed well forward of the c.g., necessitating the provision of a 
compensating weight in the rear fuselage, and the nosewheel had to be 
modified so that it would swivel to lie flat beneath the weapon. Somewhat 
surprisingly, its installation had no harmful effect on performance, and 
during air-to-ground firing trials, between 25 and 27 hits were repeatedly 
scored from a possible 30 against a rectangular target 105 ft. in length 
(representing the span of a heavy bomber) from altitudes between 3,940 and 
4,920 ft. Normally only one round would be fired at a time owing to the 
immense amount of smoke, the cannon fired at 75 rounds per minute . 
Two other Me 262A-la fighters were fitted with the BK 5 but were restricted 
to ground firing trials. A design study was also performed for the 
installation of the 55-mm. MK 114 cannon in a similar fashion to that of the 
BK 5, but plans to mount this weapon were abandoned in favour of the 50-mm. 
Rheinmetall- Mauser MK 214A which was installed in one Me 262A-la, 
ground-firing trials commencing on March 23, 1945, although, in the event, 
these tests had not been completed when hostilities terminated. 
The end of the war prevented trials with yet another weapon, the Mauser MG 
213 revolver cannon, which was about to be fitted to another Me 262A-la at 
Oberammergau.
