Maybe the V1 isnt opposing the meteor, but but shooting it down the meteor is opposing the V1 is it not? there for it is fighting against it, is it not? let me ask you this, is a boat opposing a B-25H? or is a train opposing a fighter bomber? or what about a tank opposing an Il-2? are you saying that all of these acts of attacking an enemy are not combat?
The boat has people in it, as do the train and tank. Last I recall, the V1 didn't have a pilot...or even guns to defend itself. Boats would shoot back, as did trains and tanks.
With all this talk about the Meteor, I've yet to see anyone provide a definitive report or record of the Meteor being engaged with the Luftwaffe in the air. So far, it would only seem that it was used in a ground attack role. "The wiki check" only revealed this...
"On 20 January 1945, four Meteors were moved to Melsbroek in Belgium. In March, the entire squadron was moved to Gilze-Rijen and then in April, to Nijmegen. The Meteors flew armed reconnaissance and ground attack operations without encountering any German jet fighters. By late April, the squadron was based at Faßberg, Germany and suffered its first losses when two pilots collided in poor visibility. The war ended with the Meteors having destroyed 46 German aircraft through ground attack
[citation needed] and having faced more problems through miss-identification as the Me 262 by Allied aircraft and flak than from the Luftwaffe.
[citation needed] To counter this, continental-based Meteors were given an all-white finish as a recognition aid."
If it has records and reports of it being engaged with Luftwaffe planes in the
air, then by all means, add it. Otherwise it's the Allied version of the Do-335...
