I don't believe we need the P-80. VEry very few were sent to Europe in WW2 and none saw any combat.

That's true of several of the other ships we have in game.  Still, I see why we're not getting it.

Name one aircraft in AH that did not see any combat at all, just like the P-80 saw absolutely no combat.

Go for it.

I 'll bet you $100 you can't.

Not until we get every fighter that made a combat debut in WW2 and if we get any other jets I would like either a British one or the He162 Spatz.
From multiple sources I have seen 162 had an empty weight of about 4000lbs!!!! Thats light!!!!

I'd list probably around 100 planes before wishing for another jet. Where's the P39, the Fairey Swordfish, Henschel Hs129, Gloster Gladiator, Curtiss Hawk 75, lots of soviet early bombers are left out, Pe-2 anyone? The list can go on and on. Jets? Sure they're cool but like 99.99% of the aircraft that saw combat during WW2 were regular prop driven. You'd be surprised how many old aircraft were still flying and fighting in WW2. What we have in AH is like the cream of the crop, high performance aircraft all of them.

Dont forget the Volksjager jet. We should get those before the never used p-80s.

That would be the afore-mentioned Heinkel He-162 'Gryffon', 'Salamander', 'Spatz', or 'VolksJager'.
