Me262B-2a:

The Me262A was initially used as a night fighter, operating with
Wilde Sau tactics beginning in 1945.  When greater numbers of the
Me262B 2-seat trainer became available, it was decided to convert
some of them into Me262B-1a night fighters. The only change made
involved the addition of Neptun V radar, and the Naxos passive H2S
detector.  This aircraft operated briefly with Kommando Welter-
10./NJG11 over Berlin before the end of the war. The Me262B-2a was
planned as a definitive night-fighter, with a lengthened fuselage
to accomodate extra fuel tanks, and incorporating Neptun V in a
Morgenstern-style aerial (in a nose cone to reduce drag). FuG 240
Berlin radar dishes were planned to be fitted when that advanced
radar became available.  Twin 30mm Schrage Musik guns were mounted
astride the rear dorsal cockpit fairing. The Me262 had already
proven itself more than a match for the Mosquito;  the Me262B-2a
would have had even better performance, since there would be no
drag from radar aerials.  Activate the Schrage Musik guns by
pressing <G><5>. This mod was designed by Gregory Smith.
