Me 262 vs P-80 - Which Is Better?

The Me 262 and P-80, some of the world's first jet fighters, were produced by enemies, but just barely missed seeing combat against each other. As such, because they never fought in the skies over Europe, there is much debate as to which of these planes would win in a confrontation. Would it be the American P-80 or the German Me 262? In this video, I do my best to use both real world data, in conjunction with information and realistic simulations in War Thunder, to determine if there is a winner in this age old debate. Specifically, I uses the Me 262 A-1a and the P-80A-5 (F-80A-5) as representatives in this duel for supremacy. If you would like to support my channel, please consider subscribing. Thank you!
