As a somewhat of an air combat simulation enthusiast I have experience that trying to dogfight me262 in anything that is not jet powered is an exercise in futility. If Messerschmitt pilot can fight vertically instead of horizontally. 262 was the best aircraft of the theatre in terms of potential. However its fragility and reliability did make it a dangerous machine for the pilot and the opponent.
