P-80 vs 262 ?

[MiloMorai]

TA 152H is in the game. I've read where only 10 were built and saw little action.

That would mean that they saw no action as P-51s and P-38s destroyed 14 Ta152s at Neuhausen on Jan 16 1945. The Harman Ta152 book lists 43 WNr (Ta152H) and some Ta152Cs, plus the Eagle Ta152 book lists even more WNr.

My source is Hitchcock  latest 152 book that list 57 H models and 2 C models. What I think he read or saw was that there were only ever ten that were air worthy at one time. Which in hitchcock  book at least is pointed out to be false.

The Eagle book is the Hitchcock book, is it not?

The TA 152 shot down some 2 Tempests as well.
Anyway, the Meteor III was in service, did engage with the enemy, but only scored kills on V-1 drones.
It was in squadron strengts well before the war ended, so it either almost or completely meets HTC's criteria.

As a Luftwaffle... I would so much rather 6 M2s over 4 MK108s, if I was to be fighting against another jet fighter at least... the MK108s are one of the worst parts about the Me 262. They don't give you much flexibility.

Then again, I'd rather 4 Hispanos over either armament *cough* Meteor *cough*

I have a feeling that people in the first few posts were thinking of the Airacomet, as a 'contemporary' to the Me 262.

I almost fell off my chair when you said this. I can't hit ANYTHING with the mk108s when im in a jet but I can hit with them in a 109. But in jet week I could kill any jet that came up to me, I won't mention any names but there was one that tried picking me when I just upped that got nailed, and I didn't ho. I woul like to go 262 vs. p80.
