Introduced late in the Second World War, the Messerschmitt 262 was the world's first operational turbojet fighter aircraft. It had a cruising speed of 465 mph (750km/h) and top level-flight speed of 530 mph (850 km/h). It also had 4 x 30mm cannons mounted in its nose!!

Kommando Nowotny pilot career, October 1, 1944
Mission: Penetrate deep into Allied airspace and engage enemy aircraft over forward airbases before they have assembled into effective strike elements. Good luck!!
Debrief: Major 'N’ downs 10 Allied planes over Liege. Major 'N' now has a career total of 208 aerial victories plus 1 locomotive and 6 ground vehicles destroyed.

These kills were made during one mission created by the Pat Wilson Campaign Generator using the 'Bodenplatte map' for a September 1944 Luftwaffe fighter pilot career. PWCG is a mod that generates dynamic pilot campaigns for the IL-2 Sturmovik: Great Battles series (Battle of Stalingrad, Battle of Moscow, Battle of Kuban, Battle of Normandy and Battle of Bodenplatte). I don't think there are any dynamic campaign generators for DCS World.

The enemy AI in a PWCG mission is randomly generated for each NPC to be either Novice, Average, Veteran or Ace. This specific pilot campaign is set to 'Elite' with over a 50% chance of any AI encountered during the mission being Ace-level. The Ace AI NPCs are deadly shots and I usually find myself KIA before I even know one is close! The gist of it is, this is NOT set to 'Hold my hand Daddy/Easy' level.
