He-162

I wouldn't mind seeing a low ENY Volksjager.  Just a wish.  What do you all think?

I think this post will have no effect on if they put it in or not.

I saw one at the Royal Air Force Museum Hendon.

Small little thing,

I think that it could be fun.

It would be nice to have eventually, along with the British Meteor.

Agree, however, I think about 200 HE-162s went operational during the war.  The Meteor - to my knowledge - never did.  Isn't there some unspoken/spoken principle that a plane had to be operational during WWII for it to be in the game?

There weren't even 200 buld. Current knowledge is that about 170 He-162 had been build in total, with only a small number of them actually becoming operational

The meteor was operational from July 44 on as a V-1 interceptor and in a ground attack role from Jan 45 on.

Thanks for info on Meteor - did not know that (or I did and forgot.  Happening a lot lately).

You peaked my curiosity and caused me to go read the intro on the RAF Hendon site:

"As might be expected from such a hurried design the aircraft had unpleasant flying characteristics. Very few He162s were ever encountered in combat. Deliveries began to Luftwaffe units in February 1945 but only two victories were claimed for the type during its short service life and both were unconfirmed."

Question: I going to assume that they is very little recorded in terms flight characteristics for this aircraft.  So if HTC decided to go ahead and model this plane how would they do it? were would they start?  SWAGS?  I wonder how they dealt with it in the past. (I'm sure that the issue has come up in the past in some form or another).

Started this one a while ago, you can bring it back to life if you want, it won't be a bumb if it's giving info

+1 Cool plane.  Looks fun.

Add it right after say 6 of the planes we have been all asking for.

Thanks.

Wish there was a "wish List Tracking" database out there.

It's safe to assume that about every plane and most combat vehicles have already been asked for. Repeatedly.

I still miss my A21 and J22 Swedish planes, no one have done that yet

When we talk numbers weren't only like 13 Ta-152s in service/combat by the end of the war? If so, that would mean the He-162 would make the cut. As for how many perks, the next question is whether or not the perks should reflect the threat posed by the bird, or possibly a new model that would reflect how often one would see the He-162 in real life, which was almost never. If so, it would be perked much higher than the Me-262.

In any case, I would love to this see bird in game. For me the bigger question: If AH has maybe $20,000 in salaries to burn coding and testing to create this cartoon bird should they instead spend that $20,000 on advertising AH? I would MUCH, MUCH rather see our numbers double than another bird in the hangar.

Just my two cents.
