The ME262 HG III was meant to be the successor to the original ME262 and it was quite the re-design, featuring 4 x 30 mm MK108 auto-cannons and perhaps most noticably the 45 degree sweepback wing configuration. These new wings were to be highly influential and were a mainstay of early fighter jet developments such as the US F-86 Sabre and the Russian MiG 15.
