The Messerschmitt ME-262 A1/U4 “Pulkzerstörer” (affectionately called the Narwhal by the war thunder community and even some outside of it) was a prototyped variant of the ME-262 equipping a 50mm cannon into the nose of the aircraft with the purpose of quickly shooting down American B-17s, fortunately or unfortunately depending on how you look at it the A1/U4 never got to see combat and mass production.

But even if it did it’s not like it would’ve made a difference lmao
