The Messerschmitt 262 is a historically unique plane because it was the first jet fighter. It is a fighter/bomber, meaning it can shoot ground targets as well as air targets. It is a German plane, however it comes with any civilization, custom or not. It is a good fighter and takes of/lands on airports. Its best available challenge is probably the P-51 Fighter, although the ME-262 is probably better because it has more fuel and hit points.
