Auto Credit Based on Dumpworks's Messerschmitt Me-262 A-1a "Schwalbe"

This variant of the Me-262 was a normal Me-262 A-1 but instead of 4 MK108 30mm Cannons it housed a single Mk.214a 50mm Cannon, this was built to give the Me-262 greater destructive ability a 50mm is much more devestating than a 30mm on an aircraft, there was some of these built and I believe one was actaully captured by the Americans aswell, though I can find no records of it actaully bringing anything down but if given more time the "Pulkzerstorer" could have been a very terrifying aircraft to allied bomber crews (flare and chaff gun)
