Hello can you help

I am locked in argument with friends regards the above two aircraft

I believe and am quite sure that I read somewhere that the ME+62 was
faster and more manoeuvrable than both the Sabre and the MIG at the time
of the Korean war

The only item in the 262 superior to the other 2 was the armament. In any
other aspect, it would have been far inferiror...

I would have to concur. Neither the engines nor the airframe of the 262
were in the same league as either the MiG-15 non the F-86.

The F-86 could dive beyond Mach 1.0; the MiG could not, nor could the
Me-262. also, bothe MiG and F-86 had better service ceiling. Me-262
would be dead meat for both.

Adolph Galland considered the 262 superior to the Gloster Meteor and
about the same as a T-33, although the T-33 (essentially a 2-seat P-80)
had a far better engine.
