Greebo, why would you want any reasons not to put a Gloster Meteor in-game?

I'm not dead set against having it in the game. I don't think it should be a priority when there are way more important planes left to model. For British aircraft I would much rather see the Beaufighter or glass nose Mossies.

Also I feel the Meteor Mk III would be more unbalancing than the 262. It had four nose mounted Hispanos, dive brakes and a much lower wing loading. It would be a lot more than a pick and run machine in the MA.

The Fw200 would be a terrible aircraft. Light bombload, pretty slow, not particularly strong.

My list, from most needed to least;

Ju52
He111
Pe2
Finished Yak series
Ki43
Tu2
I16
Wellington

Many of those are extremely low priority.

While this is here i'm going to post in support of the beaufighter. and some russian and german bombers and maybe a russian fighter and. . . . . . on and on and on and on in descending order.

what about a Hs 129?

A 75mm armed HS-129 would be awesome! I know we have a B-25H, but the HS-129 has a 75mm Kwk40 (Panzer IV main gun) with AP rounds!

Even the lighter cannon armed ones would be nice.

As for a British Sea Place, a Sea Hurricane~! Though a Swordfish would be kinda cool too because its a biplane :P
