After all prototypes were lost, the Me 264 project was officially cancelled in September 1944. The first thing the player will notice is the plane's similarity to the famed B-29, as it shares a similarly designed fuselage and glazed nose, but a different twin tail instead of the large single tail on the B-29. This feature has become the standard for most modern aircraft today.The Me 264 is powered by four Junkers Jumo 213, which allows the aircraft to reach a maximum speed of 520 km/h at an altitude of 6000 meters.Protecting the aircraft from hostile attacks are a number of defensive turrets scattered around the fuselage. Despite being a heavy bomber, the Me 264 is quite responsive and manoeuvrable. Although it doesn't have a lot of armour, it has the guns to make up for it. In 1943, the second prototype was destroyed during an allied bombing raid. In War Thunder, the Me 264 will be a new heavy bomber, coming to rank IV in the German aviation tree with the upcoming update 1.89. Players have been asking for this aircraft since 2013.
While undergoing modifications, the Me 264 project had its further development halted, with the sole completed prototype being used as a transport machine. With 3 x MG 151/20's that have access to the dreaded With a massive 4,000 kg payload, the Me 264 has the second-best payload of any non-premium German bomber and one of the best payloads at its battle rating. Apart from the Amerikabomber project, the Me 264 was also briefly considered by the Kriegsmarine as a possible replacement for the dated Fw 200 in the maritime reconnaissance role.The first and only prototype of the Me 264 which saw completion, flew on 23 December 1942. Depiction of any real-world weapon or vehicle in this game does not mean participation in game development, sponsorship or endorsement by any weapon or vehicle manufacturer. why not add things for techtrees where thers it not much like france/japan/italy ?because it makes people who play Germany happy? They subsequently tried using additional drop off take off gear, rocket assist, adding 2 extra engines, converting it to jet engines. Only 4 t is not a lot for a heavy bomber, some of the better, short range configurations should also be added imo.It never actually carried any of those payloads.
Compared to the existing He 177, the Me 264 offers a more ‘slow and steady’ approach, due to its larger size and rather cumbersome flight characteristics, but retains excellent defensive capabilities as well as payload options.Fun Fact: The Me 264 was the first aircraft in the world to incorporate integrated wing fuel tanks into its design.
It probably won't be the only ww2 vehicle, skink pls)))TheMightyNOOT, Skink?

Still can't believe they are so delusional they actually increased its repair cost. The first thing the player will notice is the plane's similarity to the famed B-29, as it shares a similarly designed fuselage and glazed nose, but a different twin tail instead of the large single tail on the B-29. Like every time you unlock a new Japanese plane: first "yeeaahh" then you look at the repair cost and ask yourself: "Jesus,... how much glue do you need to sniff to come to these values?! In early 1941, six prototypes of the P.1061 were ordered and the aircraft received the formal designation of Me 264.
This bomber is beautiful but...Only 4000 Kg bombs ? Not every aircraft added will always be the top of its class, but this was indeed one that many wished to see in game.Smin1080p, Be careful what you wish for! With its total payload going up to 4,4 tons, pilots of the Me 264 can choose between a variety of different bomb calibers and ordnance presets, ranging from 250kg bombs to the mighty 1,800kg SC1800 bomb!Wasn't the Me 264 able to load way more than 4 tons for short range missions (like the one's we play ingame)?

All rights reserved. However, you are still a heavy bomber and you shouldn't try to turn with anyone. Notable enemies include any heavily armed interceptor that has at least semi-decent performance, but notably the The P-61 and P-38J are some of the most deadly, as their powerful armament can tear you in half, especially the P-61 with its quad AN/M2 20 mm cannons.
Jump to: While you may have one of the best defensive armaments in the German bomber line (or out of bombers in general), it is best to avoid engagements all together to minimize potential damage due to your massive size.

The project called for new very long range strategic bomber designs, resulting in several designs being proposed, among them also the Me 264. For all legal matters, please contact — Watch out for its 8 x .50 cals, as most of the pilots run the There are three playstyles the 264 can cater to, although the second one is very risky and is not recommended.

So what´s hindering me in using this in a joking manner?If the repair cost is anything like the he177, its not going to be worth playing just FYI. The Mosquito is a sort of push-pull.
While you can down it easily due to its wooden construction, it can do the same to you with its quad Hispano Mk.II's. Ideally, you should use the 2 x 1,800 kg bombs + 3 x 250 kg bombs for destroying bases, as in Arcade Battles this payload can destroy a base in one pass (or get close depending on if you up-tier it) and in Realistic Battles, the 4 x 1,000 kg bombs, as each can just barely destroy a base. In reality, the prototype never even flew with bombs at all. Medium-close 8 tonsDamnJerry, It never got that payload and those were estimates before it actually flew. More than 20,000,000 gamers The Messerschmitt Me 264 is a German strategic bomber, initially developed during the late 1930s as a long-range reconnaissance aircraft. Lets not hope this wont be the only WW2 vehicle we get(i don't count Naval) Model looks awesome as always. Once it flew, those estimates were shown to be far too exaggeratedmAbout time we get a WW2 vehicle. And 14 tons for close-range.SoloWing_Makarov, Which begs the question why don't we get similar loadout setups for B-17s and such?
