rather see a WW1 arena instead of a Korean war, be wierd with Korea, prop planes were used for ground attack but jets were the fighters seems like it would be able to be like AH.

Little less then a Tempest IMO, wasnt that fast.
The Meteor Mk III would be the third fastest fighter in the game, were it added, with only the Me163 and Me262 being faster.

The Meteor Mk I wasn't very fast, but the main service version in WWII was the Mk III with a top speed of about 480mph and well over 430 or 440mph on the deck.

Besides gong over 400 on the deck and having quad Hispanos in the nose, the Meteor had a wing-loading lighter than many contemporary prop fighters. IOW, if added, it would justifiably be the highest-perked ride in the game.

would love to see it!!   the 262 has been far too cocky all these years.  Like a spoilt only child getting it's own way.

It needs an allied competitor   :D

The 262 would still be able to HO or run away successfully.

Meteors actually were in service by a few weeks before the 262.

Which, in terms of inclusion of the game, is irrelevant.

I'm suprised this is not in game.

If for no other reason than to have an Allied Jet,  a counterpart  to (if inferior) to the 262

Would be nice and a great addition to the late war arena's. It would also find a home in Snapshots, Friday Squad Operations, and other events especially if they added the V1 or V2 with it. ;)

So add it as long as it is the MK3.

I would like to see 2 LW areans with one including the jets and the other without.

I think the Jets are too interesting to omit but diminish from some of the great dynamic of the prop plane battle.

Beofre anyone starts I am sure thier is no case for the shooting star or sadly the vampire :rolleyes: :D

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
