I know....

Whitout a rolling Plane sett they would see little use. But there would be some rather good scenarios too make, with some earlier planes avlb. And the Finnish Air Force used captured biplanes I-153 Chjaka against Yak 9 and Yak 3 with good results in 1944

Why do you guys want this? It totally unbalances the game. IMO the 262 was a big mistake by HTC (nothing personally) We now have 262's from germany, then people wants american planes, or english/russian/french etc for that matter, to counter this. Then we'll have the XP-82. But will the people be satisfied? I don't think so. Go buy yourself the "Jane's combat simulation series" if you want jets. Personally I love AH, but I hate the way this is going. AH is still a great game, very much thanks to the perks on the 262. But plz, don't push it further. There's plenty of other fighters that are very much wanted, like P51H, P-40's, Beaufighters, etc..

But if you add more of those jet fighters, and if any of the HTC crew read this, plz perk the hell out of'em. That would cheer me up a bit

Meteors were not to often seen on the front lines. I don't think England even put one in europe (maybe Italy though).Meteors were hunkered down in England shooting down V-1s. So why bring it in? How about some early war planes like the Bf 110 or a Ju 87 (G-2 model please!). They need to make more early war planes, or some more tanks would be cool. Tiger Time!!!

im not saying to just have the meteor...im saying we should have like a b29 so then we could bomb the toejam out of hqs and others with the a-bomb or the h-bomb...my personal fav. plane when i was growing up was the p40 so dont think i dont want it...but this is a world war 2 game not a modern aircraft game sooo...the meteor was in world war 2 its not at all like the f16s the f22s or the f15s that we have today its slower than the 262 but what the hell.this game needs more excitement and these 3 will probably do it.im really looking forward to 1.09 but yaknow i wish the meteor will be in this.plus hey put in a modern today tank like the abrams worth up to 1200 perks so its almost impossible to kill and get

empire2 · « **Reply #20 on:** November 14, 2001, 06:09:00 PM »

ok not an abrams but how bout a tiger or a bs110

But before adding more jets how about adding some more easier to add aircraft????
Like the MustangIa. Would be nice to fly a pony with 20mm cannons

"Bring the Mustang IA to AcesHigh"

"Na-91 Mustang IA
93 aircraft swupplied by lend-lease to RAF (from batch of 150) with for 20MM cannon in wings"

Another rare plane with 20MM cannons? it better be perked

Yup was gonna say the same thing. I was never a supporter for the 262 even though I am an avid german plane lover.

Meteor MkIIIs were stationed in Europe in March 1945. They flew anti-262 sorties over German territory until the end of the war, but never encountered any.

I do agree that the Meteor is not something that is needed right now.

I'd like to see some more Russian, Japanese and maybe Italian jobs. An Me410B-2 and/or a Ju188A-1 would be nice.

Tank wise I think that a Panther V G as a perk tank and an M4A3 Sherman and T-34/76 as American and Russian tanks would be great.

I really want to see the Meteor III added... just not now.

We need a Stuka, Tu-2, T-34, maybe a LaGG fighter, P-40 (in desert colours), Spit XIV, Bf 110, Ju-88 night fighter, Mossie bomber... just a few, minor additions.

i wanna see what Nate or any of the rest of the gang have to say

Karnak!
Repeat after me.
T34/85
T34/85
T34/85

Smart kid..
Got a screw loose though..

The Meteor would be just nice

Although slower than the 262, it was had more reliable negines, and also was more nimble at lower speeds.
Saw one on an airshow a couple of years ago. Still ran on original centrifugal engine, and stunned the crowd with a slow loop right above the ground.
And what an engine sound, not the normal whoosh, but with some funny bass in it.
Bring it sometime HT, take your time

Hi Karnak,

>Meteor MkIIIs were stationed in Europe in March 1945. They flew anti-262 sorties over German territory until the end of the war, but never encountered any.

The Meteor might have been operational before the end of the war, but it wasn't actually combat ready.

Here's what Eric Brown has to say on the matter:

"One of the problems plaguing early jet aircraft was the phenomenon known as directional snaking. Its probable cause was recognized as being airflow separation just forward of the tail section, this giving rise to a small-amplitude, short-period yawing oscillation. This compressiblity effect did, of course, seriously impair the aircraft's tactical use as a stable gun platform, and we at Farnbrough had experienced severe snaking trouble with the Meteor I above Mach 0.7. The attempts that were made to sort out this problem on the Meteor I made quite a saga, the problem of high Mach snaking being compounded by another undesirable form of sinuousity, rough air snaking, which seriously limited the Meteor's tactical use in the ground attack role."

(from Brown's "Wings of the Luftwaffe")

According to Brown, the Me 262 was also affected by this problem, but to a lesser degree and at much higher Mach numbers. Brown also points out that the Meteor's snaking problems weren't finally solved until after the war.

In short, the Meteor couldn't employ its high top speed offensively as even at modest altitudes, it would run into compressibility problems at lower speeds than (for example) a contemporary Spitfire.

Hunting V-1 flying bombs was about the only thing where the Meteor could excel, as the V-1s flew low enough for the Mach limit not to be a serious concern.

Buzzing Me 262 bases in the hope to vulch some during take-off or landing might be another, so bring the Meteor on! ;-)

Henning (HoHun)

Pongo,

The T34/85 is, IMHO, the bottom end perk tank.

The T34/76, M4A3 Sherman abd Panzer IV H are all roughly competitive with eachother and could all be used. If the T34/85 were free, the M4A3 and PnZ IV H would only be useful in scenarios really.

That's the way I see it at least.
