I'm not trying to destroy good dogfights, I mean it would be nice to have jet v jet combat, but it never happened in WW2, so why give a possability of it in a WW2 game like AH

Because of the following question: "What if?"

That's my favorite question!!  They hate me at work because of it.

Also, don't forget the three YP-80's that flew around Italy in 1945.

oh yah, another perked plane. . .

tbh, If the existing planest were more complete - then I would be all for it, but as it stands the Japanese and Russian planesets are very much lacking, and as someone who was born and raised in Japan and who continually triest to master the yak-9 (tough bird to master) and is eagerly waiting for the Yak-3 (time to reform a NN Squad to go against some of the better Luft squads) - I just rather see HTCs energy spent more wisly.

But then again, thats just me.

So let me get this right, the meteor meets the criteria to be added to game, but some don't want it added just in case it comes up against the 262???

Spurious argument that one, just in case - sheesh. I'd like to see it added, but there are more pressing planes that should be added first (Russian, Japanese etc)

its a perfectly reasonable argument.. historically 262s never met Meteors, so we shouldent have them..

of course jugs never shot down tempests, 109s never squared off against 190s..  and a jug never tried to shoot down a B17 being escorted by a yak..

 but hey thats different.. somehow... yea

Because this game is not WW2, its a game, meant to have fun. If adding the meteor offers some fun, why not add it?  :)

I never said it should have priority over any of the other badly needed aircraft, did I?

"badly needed aircraft"  tends to include 60% aircraft that you will see for a week and never again.

If I recall we just HAD to have the Brewster and I16..

good thing we got em too, game is MUCH more complete now with them sitting in the hangar.

With the limited production and use of the Komet, I would think the Meteor should be included as well.  

I would also pass the thought that expanding the criteria for new aircraft would not necessarily be a bad idea.  After all, most of the time we tend to be hearing about wishing for more of a Spit, more of a 190/109, Lord knows we all need that 38H all the SAPPER's keep telling us about.  Same ole' things.

I see a lot of people flying the brewster, and no one ever said adding two EW aircraft was going to be game changing.
I guess we shouldn't add any more planes then, since we already have most of the heavily used LW rides.

Me-262 to ME 163 combat P-51 to Spit combat FW-190 to NiK2 combat and P-47 to F4U combat never happened either but it happens daily here.
