The P-80 Shooting Star never saw action in WW2, which means it will not see action in AH2. The only planes that make it to AH are ones that flew during the war and saw some sort of combat. The Meteor is are only best hope for an Allied jet fighter because it saw action during the war.

Had the war in the Pacific gone into 1946, then it would have seen action. Missed frontline service by around 6 months! Would have been nice to see some P-80s vs Me262s (Japanese virsion) fights

Ostiwinds saw no action in WWII prove it otherwise with documentation if you can.
Me-163's killed more german pilots than americans and saw almost no service during WWII.
RV8 saw no service in any time period.

What do both of these vehicles have in common?
they are in AH and abundant.
So HTC what is the rule about aircraft and vehicles anyways??
Please clarify so we can stop requesting things that you have no intention of putting in the game.

The Ostwind was the successor to the Wirbelwind. The Germans determined that the quad 20mm guns on the Wirbelwind just didn't bring down aircraft as well as a single 37mm gun.

The Wirbelwind was cancelled due to it's inefectiveness in favor of the Ostwind.

A little more than 300 ME-163s were produced, the majority were the B model (237 in 1944 and 42 in 1945). The B model was the only operational version with the first operational flight on May 13th, 1944. The first attack by ME-163s was on July 28th, 1944 over Merseburg. The only reason it wasn't used more is production was interrupted and it was pretty much a result of the war coming to a close.

The RV8 isn't for use online. It's there just for fun offline. Those arenas that have it enabled, aren't suppose to.

All youve done nothing but proven my point. Thank you..
HTC please eliminate the ostiwind and the Me-163 due to the fact that they SEEM to not fall within the allowable plane set.
HOWEVER if you would be willing to let us know WHAT the allowable plane set is we would GLADLY stop asking for things that you have no intention of ever adding to the game.

the reason the Me-163 didn't see more action was that willy messerschmitt took over the project with the intent of controlling a competitor to his 262

Does it matter if willy messy wore a pink tu-tu to work everyday and sang like sheryl crow?

Not really that dosent change the fact that these vehicles where practically non-players in the war (and i know about the 152 and the 3 cannon LA7)
These where just illustrations that i choose to use.
This game and every part of your life carrys with it guidlines that you must exsist within to continue..
All im asking HTC to do is let us know what the actually guidelines for planesets are. If them playing an important part in the war is a guildline then these examples IE.. 163, ostiwind have no place in the game.
If not then what other wonderful gadgets can we possibly get in the future? Nothing like a good "there will never be those in this game" thread from HTC to shut up the ppl begging for b29's, b25's, P61's ect..

Like I stated here, SOME sort of combat. Since the 163 did fly during the war and did see some action it was added to the game. The reason why no P-80, or B-52:huh, or Martin Baker, or F8F, or the Blackburn Firebrand.

The reason why the 163 wasn't used much in the war, was 1) It was hard to land 2)The rockets fuels were very dangerous 3) what Debonair said.

The Meteor easily classifies to be in Aces High, the P-80 does not.

I guessed.

Okay then, just for everybody's sake that reads this, and that might.. oh I don't know... search the forums first...

Hitech has said that an aircraft has to have been a production craft (no Ta152C-0, although it saw combat it wasn't a production version), it has to have at least been used in unit strength (Ta152H had exactly 1 unit, 12 craft, operational, and 163s were a helluva lot more numerous than that), and it has to have seen combat during the war (no Bearcats, Tigercats, P80s, Seafire22s, etc, etc)
