Gloster Meteor Jet Fighter - WW2 fighter - late War.

I would also highly suggest not allowing the Meteor to carry ords. This would add an aspect to the game that I don't think we need.

Fortunately the 610mph Meteor Mk IV was introduced in late 1945 (December if I recall correctly) and thus missed the war and is ineligible for AH.

I'm not so sure of that BnZ's. The 262 is decently maneuverable; certainly capable of pulling 6g's around 350mph. At that point, the Meteor is either slower, or limited to the exact same turn radius as the 262, as dictated by physics.

And while I'm not sure of the Meteor's acceleration, I would guess it was slower than that of the 262 in that speed range, given that its much closer to the Meteor's top speed, which indicates the force of drag is approaching the the force of the thrust generated by the engines, resulting in reduced acceleration.


While the Meteor may be the biggest threat to the 262 save for another 262, I doubt it would be "murder".

  Karnak, do you have the rate of climb for the MkIII?  Also would you happen to know the clean stall speed?

  I was always a fan of the vampire and have never read much about the meteor line!


   

 PS: Ya I admit,I'm a DH fanboi!

I recall seeing it somewhere, but it isn't at WWII Aircraft Performance.  I'll check my books when I get home.  I recall it being moderately better than the Me262.

I did notice that the ceiling shown at WWII Aircraft Performance is aver 45,000ft, far higher than the Me262.  It also lists the bomb load as two 1000lb bombs.
