New jets making it fair

[bearclaw]

Gloster Meteor - First operational Allied fighter jet, entered Service July 27 1944., The first V-1 flying bombs "kill" was made by a Meteor on 4 August 1944 (another followed the same day). This was the first air downing of a jet-powered aircraft by another, although that achievement is usually ascribed to the battles between manned jet aircraft during the Korean War in November 1950.

Bell P-59 Airacomet - First USAAF jet to fly, never saw operational service, only 66 built before contract terminated
Lockheed P-80 Shooting Star - First operational jet fighter used by the United States Army Air Forces in 1945, grounded due to problems until after the war

And That's why it will never be added.

So you want sub-par jets added to 'make it fair'?

I'd like to see the Meteor added as a plane like the 109, where it's crap in the wrong hands, but usuable for someone who knows what's going on.  I'd hardly call any WWII jets on par with the 262... and the fact it was still used into the Mid-50's by various air forces would add to the fact that it really was the premier jet fighter until the Mig15/F86 era.  Realistically, pilot to pilot, the meteor would have no chance against a 262.

Why not just ask for 5-10k of bonus alt for fighting the dreaded deuce?

Meteor Mk III and He162 would both be somewhat competitive with the Me262, have strengths and weaknesses when compared with it.

I disagree, the F3 Meteor would turn much tighter and faster, have better climbrate, and better acceleration (apart from at very high speeds). The only advantages for the 262 are higher top speed, and possibly rollrate. I imagine it would be much like a Spit vs 190 fight.

You want jets, go play a jet game! I think we have too many jets as it is. 

[SgtPappy]

I'd always welcome more jets with open arms, but Fugitive reminds me of the H2H days where certain planes - like jets - could be banned.

Those were good days.

+1 for the Meteor. Would love it just for the fact of having an Allied jet.


Not to hijack, but this also sorta promotes having a Korea Arena

Not at all, Jets are the Devil!

bearclaw, i like how you make a new post for every paragraph you want to type... way to try to stand out  

if your not familier with a keyboard. if you look down at it, there is something that says "Enter" if you press that key, it will


drop the words

down here

just like

that
got it?

He162 would make for a interesting addition the Meteor would too, but I'm inclined to agree that more jets would take the game in a direction which is not desirable.

How So?
