And I see that the Ki43 has been eliminated from the contest.  I voted for the 410...  More of an anything but the Meteor vote.   :bhead

..................PBY. I'd even settle for the Gliders the C47's towed  on D-day.... or where are those subs? These would all add something "NEW" to the game. Who really needs another fighter?

I second this, what is the list of contenders now?  I gather the Me410 and Meteor are both on it.  Anything else?

They are the Beaufighter, Me 410, Meteor, and Yak 3.

Hoping the 410 will pull through.

How about instead of adding yet another array of tanks, HTC models the final four planes.

I'm hoping that the Beaufighter will win.  It would be a lot of fun in special events.

Debrody,

Meteor III destroyed 46 German planes on the ground as well as V1s in the air.

Care to revise your claim?

So the meteor only can vulch here?
nope, im all against adding planes what never scored air to air kills. The meteor3 is the last plane what should be added.
Why? Never seen any "flying" enemy. All AH needs is another ho n run aircraft. Core types are missing. Its all damn nonsense. Whats next, p80, p-86, f104, sr-71?
Jak, beau, 410 all ok but that?  its a real, a real bad joke.

I don't want the Meteor in AH. I feel it would be detrimental to MA gameplay, add nothing for special events and subject to how its perked have a much greater influence on the game than it ever had in RL. However I think this scorning of how it only saw action fighting V-1s and doing ground attack is disrespectful of the pilots that flew them. LW airfields were protected by masses of AA and were not targets to be attacked lightly. Also there are cases of RAF and USAAF pilots who died when they got too close to the V-1 they were attacking and it exploded, so it was not a milk run by any means.

I would still take a Me-262 over a Meteor if it was added.

  the game is concentrated on combat, not on shaking the screen.

I fully agree with all of this.  Having a preference is one thing, but slandering the historical stuff you don't want in the game is another thing.

I will be voting for something with props.  Not sure if it will be the Beaufighter or Me410 though.
