Round 3 voting

[skorpion]

I voted for the Meteor.  I reckon it will be perked less than a 262.  I also reckon that it will get caught a lot by prop planes, moreso than the 262.  All that said, it will be nice to have some balance when it comes to jets. our only jet is German.  

fixed that for you.
the 262 is a jet, the 163 is a manned almost suicide missle.

You don't fly the game too much do ya skorpion?

I wonder about online polling also.  The pop up screen listed choices of planes that I had not considered and hadn't done any homework on.  So, I ask over 200 about the ammo capacity of the yak.  This is a major consideration for me because of the possibility of being a hangar queen as well.  Either everyone else on 200 hadn't a clue either or 200 is only tuned to hear political gossip and chess thumps.  Giving there was no clear option to procede without casting an immediate response ... I had to go with "I don't care" ... which doesn't characterize my feeling on the matter, only means I didn't have an informed opinion at the moment.

Disclaimer:  This is not a dig against polling policies, or a whine because my preferred ride was eliminated.  This is merely my ponderance of how we base our decisions on matters that we are not informed on.  Could it be?  We would prefer the way "Meteor Mission" sounds?  Or does "Yak3 Attack" roll off the tongue smoother?  Certainly, in my mind there has always been some confusion in why someone would refer to a Bf109 as a Me109.  Does this also carry over to the 410?  

Oh well, off to my bing searches

Same guns and ammo load as the Yak-9U as far as I know.

[pipz]

a vote for yak is a vote for cookies

The Beaufighter was eliminated in Round 2 by a margin of 1.2%.

Arg.  1.2%  Missed continuing on by ---->||<---- this much.

That is, I am pretty certain, post war along with the VK-107 engine.  The WWII Yak-3 had the VK-105 engine (same as in the Yak-9T) and the one 20mm with 120 rounds and two 12.7mm guns that the Yak-9U has.

The Yak-9U has the more powerful VK-107 engine.

Ar-234, man....

i almost forgot that even existed. i havent heard anything about it in a loooooooooooooooooong time...

[Vudu15]

outta all the a/c the one I could care less about makes it through. really don't see a need for the meteor.
guess Ill put my vote to the 410 or yak.

Wish we coulda got the beau.

It wasn't a strawman. It was a logical implication of what my response was without typing the actual response.


You, however, seem to be into 410 bashing right now (your claims are all wrong IMO) so I'll just go check out the next thread. I'll pop back in and check on you, if you like? Mkaythanxbye.


 

I'm not bashing the 410.  I'm calling it for what it is. You just can't argue facts.  Always with the off topic dodges and lame condescension instead.
It's a strawman.  Look up the definition.
If I wanted to bash I woulda instisted e.g. that the tail guns are nothing but a selfishly short sighted point to keep bringing up in arguing for the 410's addition.  Nobody cares about freaking tail guns.

Meteor never shot down any aircraft! It should not be added. It is not a counter to the 262 and would open the door to all those other planes that flew during the war but never saw air combat. The 262 is the only jet this game should have. For those who want to counter the 262; fly p51s or catch then landing/takeoff it's more historical.

[Karnak]

The 410 could kick all the other twins' asses. 38 mossie and all. Significant or not historically, it could be a real contender for luftwaffe twin instead of the frozen piece of dogtoejam on a stick that is the 110.

Moot, I am not following here. You seem to be posting on both sides of the Me410 issue.

No it wouldn't.  It saw combat.  V1s and 46 or 48 aircraft destroyed on the ground.  The things you are thinking of didn't see combat at all.
