Translated for the rest of us  :rofl

But there is no dispute that the 75-mm version was fielded?

How many and why was it found unsatisfactory?

I don't think the info is in the thread. Frankly it has been refuted and asserted to the point that it's not obvious what is reliable. Perhaps this has been the point?

Krusty, sorry, but if the Glostor Metor never having shot down an enemy aircraft in combat (note: aircraft, not guided bomb) doesn't disqualify it from being in the game, low production numbers, and relative lack of use shouldn't keep the Hs 129 out of the game.

You don't like us talking about the BK 37? Fine, say it wasn't used, and then offer an alternative if it existed *cough*Mk 103*cough*.

Point is stop being so dismisive of the aircraft. It would be a better use of HTC's time than about 1/2 the EW crap that almost never gets flown.
You started this thread and it was obviously about your want and desire in spite of your use of 'we' and Google.
