Dolomite :
I see your point a good pilot can
still throw a P51 or F4U around in
a dogfight but they are not using
there speed in that situation the
only time it becomes useful is
running or chasing. The 51 is quick
which is a
major asset but yet
it isn't used in a 1v1 dogfight.
I'd say a 109 or spit would be able
to get the upper hand on the F4U or
P51 in most cases in a co-e level
merge.
Fishu :
N1k2 and c205 were a stratergy by
HTC to get exotic planes whicch
represent certain countries and
you could certainly argue that the
Ta 152 should be included but i
just think it would be opening a
can of worms, as you well know if
you include the Ta 152 you can
include 5 other planes from
various countries which are
similarily
uber.
The Luftwaffe would though
benefit most from this trend though
but in real life much of these
planes were pushed into service
perhaps before they should have
been and fought aginst heavy odds
none of this wouldn't be
represnted.
I did say personally i would
not like to see them modeled and
would like to see a line drawn at
aircraft in service in late 44 and
have numbers well past the 100 mark.
Rather than HTC concentrating on
these planes fill out the important
set. How can you have a plane like
the Ta 152 (67 produced - all varients)
and leave the most produced warplane
in history plane Il-2 Shturmovik.
On the 262 it has every right to be
modeled under these criteria but if
you fly it you need never die pit your
nose down and your away, hardly the
ultimate test of skill. Do people really want it? if yes model it then but i'd
rather HTC didn't
P.S. I'm pretty sure the meteor made
combat (i'll try and dig up the
reference) but was not as an advanced
a design as the 262.
