Yes.  Entered service in June 1944, operational debut in july, and during 1945 there were a squadron of Mk.III's that were actually based on the continent and were part of the 2nd TAF.  Although they couldnt find any LW aircraft in the air to fight with, they did destroy ground targets.

262: Maximum speed: 541 mph (870 km/h)
Meteor: 4 x 20 mm British Hispano cannons
262: 4x 30 mm MK 108 cannons

would be kool for variety, but i know i wouldnt fly it either, the perk cost would be too high, and i'm playing this game to NOT fly jets...  i much prefer spits and p-38s and mossies...  speaking of which, un-perk the spit14!

262: 4x 30 mm MK 108 cannons
Meteor: Range: 500 mi (800 km)
262: Range: 652 mi (1,050 km)

The Meteor's 4x Hispanos would be LIGHT years ahead of the 30mm crap cannons on the 262. 99% of the time I fire the 262 guns I miss despite having a perfect shot lined up. I'm not new to 30mm. I do well with 109s, 152s, 190a8s (with 30mm outboard), but on the 262 they're just porked.

You speeds are misleading. The 262's top speed is at 20-25k, so listing the speed of the Meteor at 10k is going to make it look pathetic. The Meteor was slower than the 262, but it was MUCH more manuverable, able to hold its own against spitfires in some tests.

So, quad hispano punch, nimble plane, can actually DOGFIGHT (262 can't claim that!) and it's a high-speed jet. Yeah, you'd be a fool to fly the 262 if this plane was available.

So... because you miss with the cannons in the 262 they must be wrong.  :lol

Sorry for the hijack, i will be quiet now.

IIRC correctly the Meteor III was superior to the Tempest V in all respects in a flight test, IMO it would be a less hardcore version of the 262 which would be easier for the majority of the AH community to fly and fight in.  The 262 takes some getting used to in order to get the best out of it.  The Meteor would be a great inbetween.

PS.  It is cool.
