Why not the HE-162 Salamander (Which saw combat and a Tempest shot one down)?

Don't forget the P-80 and P-59!

Every time I see someone asking for the Meteor before we have the He 111, G4M and Ki-43, I am posting this dramatic interpretation of the AH bbs:

As a fighter I would say it's better than the 262.  Bomber hunting still goes to the duece!  Is still think that a meteor vs 262 fight would be fun  :x

DuHasst

So is there a game out there with both of them in preferably with a free trial period?

I think we are unlikely to get it in the near future if ever and I would really like to fight this duel.

I do think the B-29A and Meteor Mk III should be added eventually, but not before a great number of other aircraft.  In my opinion, that list is partially comprised of:


B6N2 "Jill"
Beaufighter
C.200
D4Y "Judy"
Do17
Do217
G4M2 "Betty"
He111
Il-4
J2M3 "Jack"
Ju188A
Ki-43 "Oscar"
Ki-44 "Tojo"
Ki-45 "Nick"
Ki-49 "Helen"
LaGG-3
Me410
MiG-3
P1Y1 "Frances"
Pe-2
SM.79-II
Tu-2
Wellington
Yak-1
Yak-3
Yak-7

So?

And the J2M3, Ki-44 and Yak-3 have about as good a shot at getting an Me262 as all but the highest end prop fighters.

Because it would be the great fight that never occured. It would be interesting to see with the modelling of the two planes which has the advantage.

It played a very minor role in WWII.  Given the lack of so many aircraft that played much larger roles in WWII, I can't see giving the Meteor Mk III high priority just to see this, admittedly neat, what-if fight.

Good thing this is the "Wishlist" and not the "I want it now or I quit list"  I think the best thing about the wishlist is that it's easier to find the noobs, morons and people who know way to much about WW2 aircraft.  Seems there few people that start post from the middle!

I like the Meteor, but the last thing AH needs is another freaking Jet.

I'd say the Meteor easily. The 262 is the worst-turning fighter in the game, the Meteor's is less than that of some prop fighters.

I can't argue because to be honest I don't know about it's handling. With the jets I look at speed and climb first.  :)

How fun would that be to have Meteors and 262s duking it out.

Which is about as relevant as a duel between a P-47 and a Spitfire Mk V.
