Allied jets.
« on: February 19, 2010, 03:16:55 PM »
I went searching through the internet for jets of world war 2, and we don't have any allied jets. The allied jet that saw the most combat (correct me if I'm wrong) was the Gloster meteor F 3, not as fast as an ME 262 but with a tighter turning radius. It has 4 20mm's like the tempest anyone who has been shot down by a tempest or fly's a tempest knows how effective they are, and can hold 16 3inch rockets.With a top speed just shy of 500mph It's no slouch but can still be caught up with for a good dogfight I think it would give the ME 262 a run for it's money and would be cool to have an allied jet. Not really expecting anything from this just a point of view.  :salute

Bit of an ugly duckling like most early jets but it would be good to go against 262's in

they were only used to shoot down V1 Rockets, the RAF did not want to fly them over germany in fear off losing one to the Germans...however near the end of the war they were used in low level ground attack..with only 20 being produced and 17 being sent to the RAF squadron??

Deos that qualify for the plane to be added?

Im not for or against it, but would rather see some more Luft, Japanese and Russian birds first.

Did any Jet vs Jet action take place in WW2?

I would like to see the Allies represented in this category though....

No jet vs. jet til Korea but they came awful close a few times lol they where moved to where they thought the ME 262's would strike next.
The Gloster meteor Mk III had more than 20 made can't find the exact number but closer to 100 Maximum level speed at sea level: 486mph Maximum level speed at 30,000ft: 493mph fight against it like a 262 with a better turning radius should put up a good fight  :devil

616 Squadron traded in their Spits for Meteors in mid 44.  They chased V-1s and went around to Allied fighter and bomber bases to help develop tactics for fighting the German jets.  They did get on to the continent towards the end of the war but never encountered a 262 or were involved in air combat.  Did they fire their guns in anger?  Yep.  Still would be down the list for me with other birds ahead of it that saw substantially more WW2 combat.

its a good idea......but if they never saw air v air combat in real life then why why should  it be put in-game and see air v air combat?

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
