Gloster Meteor

Franz,

Your implication that the Ki-84's WEP is out of the ordinary for AH is flat out wrong.  It has exactly the same ratio as the Bf109K-4, just the K-4's WEP lasts 10 minutes and takes 5 minutes to cool off.  I could point out where AH's WEP is inconsistent, but that would prompt anti-British rants from you.

the K-4's WEP lasts 10 minutes and takes 5 minutes to cool off.  

As to my knowledge the K-4 has 10/10 minute cycle. The Ta 152H has 10/5 and I think the 190D and 410 too, but I'm not sure about that.

Yeah but the ki-84, according to that ah-wiki chart says it only has 1.5mins worth, but in game, its recharge is half of that? Someone post it again pls!

All aircraft in AH recharge WEP even if they couldn't in reality.  The later German fighters used an additive as did the P-47s and when that was used up WEP was no longer available.  In AH they can use WEP more often.

On the other hand the aircraft that didn't use an additive and just increased boost pressure such as Merlin, Griffon and Allison engined aircraft could use WEP until their fuel ran out or the engine failed.  AH limits these to five minutes because that is what the pilots were supposed to limit themselves to, even if they didn't always obey that rule.

Doing a realistic WEP simulation would be very difficult so all games seem to just use a gameplay driven mechanism.

This system is great for 1.5mins wep plane.

So our Meteor is going to fly arround friendly cities for a morale boost, pretending to have been part of the liberation force...ohkay!

I would say more like a Mossie on steroids, charts say it can turn inside  a Tempest and I can get her to move quite nicely.  

The 163 can turn like crazy it would never be that turnable just more so than say a 262  

Perk it at 100  and lets go!

What with the new version of AH coming in 2 weeks it makes sense to punt this thread so HT can authorise the making of it's first Allied jet plane!

Ah yes, the Gloster-Whittle E 28/39.

My 16k perkies are waiting to be used.

What is the max dive speed of the Meteor ?
Mk1 had compression problems, what about the MKIII ?

How vulnerable where they compared with the 262 ?

And give me the R4m's  please, but not for the Meteor 

[FLOOB]

BNZ this image you posted is obviously bogus, look at where the spit14 is. It's almost as bad as those wartime tactical trial reports that make the ridiculous claim that the spit14 with drop tanks and a full tank of gas has a smaller turning circle than a clean 109g6.

[Bruv119]

Punt,

Now HTC has nothing to do and are sitting around their offices drinking whiskey and eating pizza all day how about a shiny new plane that would actually get used a little in the MA and be AWESOME! 

Would definitley help the marketing push and sex appeal of the game!   

Perk it in 60-100 amount more than a tempest but half a 262. 

Make it so!     

[Bruv119]

with no negative replies in over a day I guess everyone else is in total agreement with the suggestion. 

 

[Zoney]

On the contrary Bruv, I'd love to see it in the game also.  200 perkies though, just like the Luftwaffe Jet.


Homey 

[Bruv119]

done! 

Put it to the top of the new plane lists HT!   

[Arlo]

Top?

Maybe after a Tri-plane or seaplane patch.
