First off, who says they're going to run an election next time?

Could have been a 1-off thing.

Hopefully there won't be a next election for a while.

I think the P-80 would be great. It's just as reasonable as having a 262. You perk it the same way you do the 262 and when you get in the mood to fly a jet, you'd have a choice between a P-80 or a 262. What's wrong with that? Plus, P-80 vrs 262 scenarios would be great fun too.

I suspect however that we've seen the last of the "community vote."

the p80 was not used during WW2.

It did enter service in 1944 so it is not too much of a stretch.

I see your point though.

They used the Meteor agains V-1 flying bombs. So technically, yes, it saw action, and shot down axis aircraft.

P.S. I vote for a built-in spellchecker for the BBS.

you are correct but since AH dose not have the V-1,the meteor would be usless and not alot of them were build during 1944

Moot point, Vans.

The Meteor would be a 450+ mph ride with 4-20mm's...I think it would see quite a bit of usage.

Wether or not we have the V-1 is irrelevant, we have plenty of airplanes in here being used against something they weren't origanally supposed to(Typh's against B-17's, for example.) Or, Divebombing with Lancs:rolleyes: .

<---divebombs lanks

you do have a point thow,they would be perked, 4 20mm's and it's a get, the good old 262 is better...

Meteor Mk IIIs were in full squadron service service and saw combat on the continent in 1945. Mostly ground attack, but one dogfight with Fw190s that was interupted.

The P-80 was never in squadron service in WWII. There were a grand total of, IIRC, four sent to Europe for the squads there to have a looksee with, but not one was used in offesive or defensive action. Meteor Mk Is and Mk IIIs were used in both and at a squadron level.
