Yes ground attack.

Also,considering  most of the Post war interceptors were based off of "acquired" data from aerodynamic research that was conducted  by the Germans.

Thus why the Sabre borrows the leading edge slat design in the F-86A. Of course this was later discarded as  engines became more powerful traded by a larger wing to improve low speed handling.
you just shot your own idea down... This cannot be possible. Yes to Korea, no to combined

notice what prop planes were used? and in what roles mostly?

the prop planes that were used in korea never saw action in WWII (except for the B-29)

the F4U-4C that was used by the Marines came close, but didnt ship out in time for WWII

Hmm the p-51d would beg to differ.

just to throw my 2 cents in, i agree that the WWII jets should all be put in first, but a korean arena probably wouldnt be a bad idea 1 or 2 years down the road.  and this game is no longer just a WWII arena, the WWI planes prove that.

Um the MAs can be anything not exclusive to WW2 aircraft. Thus WW1 and WW2 Arenas,heck I'm not even asking for the whole Korean planeset just the aircraft that were

iconic at the start of hostilities circa 1950.

Gloster Meteor .



Was thinking even adding smoke trails for the dirty engines from the early jets.

Yeah but didn't fire a single shot. It got to Europe but too late to fire at anything.

Though they were like most first gen Jets unreliable. ( See: Bong )

So were the Post War Jets with frequent Flame outs during take off .

Correct.  It attacked German ground positions and installations.

Also V1s, but it seems most people here don't consider that "in anger", though I bet Meteor, Spitfire, Tempest, Mustang and Mosquito pilots tasked with it would disagree.
