Me 163B Komet

Info
The Me 163 Komet is a top teir, level 10 rocket fighter. It is the only rocket fighter in the game. It can be quite a formidable opponent when in the hands of a skilled pilot. It can be bought for 2.2 million or 2,200 medals.

Statistics
The Komet has an armament consisting of 2 MK 108 cannons, the same cannons used on the Me-262 A-2. They have 200 rounds in total. The speed is above average for a top teir fighter, going 950 kph. Although it can easily push beyond the 1,000 kph, the manuverability will be seriously effected by transonic airflow. The Komet has the best rate of climb in the entire game, 40m/s is nothing to be sneezed at. The turn rate is also extremely good, 20.6 seconds is among the best in the 9-10 teirs. The komet has little to no armor.

How to Play
The Komet is the most manuverable fighter in top tier, outcompeting the Sabres and the MiG 17s. Although keep in mind that your wings snap off even to just a few rounds from any armament in the game. Use your climb rate and your extreme weight to thrust ratio to your advantage. Climb, gain speed while maintaing altitude, make the enemy stall, engage, climb again. Just know that the jets you need to be wary are the A-5 and F2 Sabers, Swifts and Hunters, and the MiG 17s (MiG 15s dont have the engine to compete with Komets). Try to avoid headons and start the turnfight before they do, just make sure to not overshoot.

How to Counter
Countering a Komet is relatively simple. Komet players know how fast they can die if they make a wrong move, always try to stay behind a komet. If you are in a Swift, Hunter, Sabres, MiG 17s, etc; you can out run the Komets, but not outclimb. Dont get in a turnfight, end the battle as quickly as possible. Staying low and keeping maxium speed is the safest way to go, Komets are fast, not the fastest.
