| − | The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a rank {{Specs|rank}} German jet fighter {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in Update 1.39.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Me 262 C-1a Heimatschützer I is a Me 262 A-1a fitted with a rocket booster in its tail. It is intended as an interceptor, climbing very quickly under the power of the booster rocket combined with its two jet engines. However, the boosters have a small fuel supply and shut down minutes after takeoff. Without its booster rocket, the Heimatschützer functions very similarly to the Me 262 A-1a. It has the same armament as the Me 262 A-1.

| − | The biggest issue of the Heimatschützer I is it's poor acceleration across all speeds when the boosters are out of fuel. Thus, the "Compressor" and "New Engine" modifications should have the highest priority. The default ammo belts are decent, but the high explosive content increases with the new ammo. Because of this, researching the 30 mm Belts modification is not a bad idea. The "New Cannons" modification can also be researched to improve the accuracy and reliability of the 30 mm cannons.

| |

| − | '''Pros:'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Heavy armament of four 30 mm cannons
| |
| − | * Decent energy retention
| |
| − | * It has a rocket engine, allowing a climb to about 4000 m (13000 ft) within 1.5 minutes
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Cons:'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Slow in comparison to other jets it may encounter
| |
| − | * Rocket propulsion is limited
| |
| − | * Its 30 mm guns are not optimal for jet combat, with a low muzzle velocity and effective range
| |
| − | * Without its booster, it is a fairly slow climber
