Got this beautiful bird the first day she came out and I must say that I'm not disappointed. There's a few errors I made; going in I assumed she was a heavy fighter and just did not notice the signs pointing to her actual class as a light fighter. She's very much like a tier VIII Bf.109B in how she handles in flight. Her guns are interesting, being a pair of 30mm MK103s. I find them much easier to use than the Me.163...er... J8M Shusui's 30mm MK108 knockoffs; you just have to engage at long range to make up for her lower rate of fire.
The Horten excels at bomber elimination and tangles well against heavy fighters. Stay away from engagements with enemy light fighters. The Horten is a huge target at close range for their MGs and with the Horten's speed there's no reason you should stick around and dogfight.
