New Jets maybe?

No-one has mentioned the Meteor or the P-80 yet. Both saw action. Meteor mainly chasing doodle-bugs and I think the P-80 Shooting Star was test deployed in Italy very near the end of the war  (correct me if Im wrong guys).

Both would obviously be perked but could counter balance the 262 a bit.....??

[SKurj]

oh my faminz....!!


Give us some credit would ya!!

Both the meteor and P-80 have been mentioned before in here.  I don't care to see the P-80 in AH, but the meteor has a place i think..

apologies Skurj, of course they wouldve been mentioned before but I thought not in the current musings over the new 'gift' plane in 1.09...

Out of sheer interest tho, Why not the P-80?

[Staga]

P-80 would propably be a 400-500 points perk-plane in MA.

ACTION????????????????

If shooting drones or one holiday trip over the alps are action, then I want the Bachem 349 Natter, Horten 229, Tank 154.
They also saw action.

[MANDOBLE]

Yep, bring the Natter for city, factories and HQ defense.

P80 never saw action, don't even think it ever saw service with any operational unit.

Meteor is legitimate though, specially Mk1, who'd fly it though?

If the Meteor Mk3 is added I won't stop screaming and yelling and whining untill my DO335 is added aswell.

(which btw saw service)

Congrats Faminz!!!!  You have managed to twist the titty of some well known luftwobbles with a minimum of effort. Whether you knew it or not, you scored a direct hit.

[maik]

has anybody info'S how the meteor would compete against the 262?

How are the differences in performance and handling?

[Tac]

Meteor was inferior to the 262. Both in armament and speed (I think it was almost 100mph slower if memory serves me right).

[eddiek]

Couldn't have said it better myself.

[Glasses]

Without us they'd probably be F86s in the Arena so we win

[jan]

the bachem 'natter' never saw combat tho there was a combat-ready squad consiting of ten aircraft readied near stuttgart during the last days of ww2. actually, they were destroyed about a week after they were declared combat ready, when us grunts were moving in, taking over the airfield. *wiseassmodeoff*

well I bow to your superior obviously personal knowledge of the subject. Obviously shooting a giant warhead from up close or even tipping it over by touching wings is hardly dangerous. I stand corrected. (actually I crouch corrected with my hands over my head trying to hide from the shrapnel!!)
The P-80 I admit only toured a warzone (as far as i know). sortof like crossing or patrolling a no-fly zone in Iraq and we all know thats not action either.

[Wilbus]

Meteor Mk1 is a totally legitimate airplane IMO, it saw action, mostly against V1's but that counts as action.

Tac, how the Meteor would perform? Max speed for Meteor Mk1 was about 406 Mph at 10k. Compare this to the 262 which had a speed of 530 Mph at the same alt, 540 at 20k and 510-520 at sea level I think you understand how it would perform

Meteor would turn a bit better though, so what? A p51 turns better too but sure as hell can't catch our Thunderbird!
