New Jets maybe?

And what do you think I ment with South side?

I think you meant the UK.

You said it was in service on the other side of the channel (S side).

In fact it was in service on both sides of the channel, unless you are refering to another channel, in which case it was in service to either the north, south, east or west depending on where the other channel is

Regardless, it saw service and combat in WW2

And the P-80A was in the Phillipines in '45 but unusable due to missing wing tip tanks and batteries - which for some unfathomable reason were not sent with the planes themselves (duh!).  So technically even the P-80 passes my "mass production and deployed to combat units" criteria  but it never saw any reported "action." So even I would question adding the P-80 to the AH planeset.

so on the crate, in small print it said " batteries not included"?

What was the name of the Japanese jet, that did (or didn't) see WW2 action?

I remember hearing something about it, I don't care if we get it in here or not, just curious...

BTW...nice flying with ya SKurj As always!

Weeeeel, AFAIK GB is NORTH of the channel, and the side I am refering to is SOUTH of the channel (that is saw service north of the channel is pretty clear).

[metronom]

An ugly plane was it for sure  

Would rather see some Biplanes in AH.

Wilbus, I'll leave it there, otherwise I'll have to point to your use of a non sequitur, which confused your meaning

Still, I'm glad we agree the Meteor III saw action, and deserves to be in AH

You talking about their version of the 262?  That's the one that was closest to actual production & seeing duty.  It was called the Kikka.  There's one hanging at the Smithsonian's Garber restoration facility.

I thought the Japanese version was much smaller, with far less wing loading. And that they had more than one jet-powered prototype.

Perhaps I am thinking of the Japanese manned rockets.

"German Jet Aces of WW2"

"Leutant Rudolf Schmitt of 1./JG 1 was the only pilot to claim a victory in the He162. But his claim, a RAF typhoon on May 4 1945, was not allowed, being credited instead to local flak unit."


It also states, the He162 designed to be flown by Hitler Youth was really hard to fly. I think it would be neat to have but Me163 scored more victories.

I really dont wanna see postwar jets until MA planeset is completely finished.

[BenDover]

i don't really want to see any jets

[Wilbus]

I don't really wanna see any post war jets at all.

Jets are cool though, He162 was indeed tough to fly, even aces and experienced pilots said it was a pain in the but, specially compared to the 262.
