Hmm... Only if they add some biwingers :) jets were only used a few months at the end of the war but biwingers were used all through out the war, though I'm sure poeple would vote fore a jet over a biplane cuz for some reason they think they are so obsolite...

I think we need to focus on more of the earleir planes before adding more latewar.

Would be kinda neat to have another jet as long as its perked really high :) but i'd rather see a biwinger.

I hate to break it to you but F-86 Sabres weren't used in WW2 that's Korea.  And The P-80 never saw action WW2 (the only American Jet around in the times of WW2) they just sent the P-80s to Europe as the war ended and the jets weren't used in the Pacific because some genious didn't send drop tanks.

The only one I can see added is the Meteor which is inferior to the Me-262 and for what I know wasn't used in Europe, I heard it was just used to intercept V1s

Dude, you should grab a history book.
The Me-262 saw LOTS of action during WW2.
The Sabre wasnt ready anytime NEAR WW2.

Bruahahahaahaha. Sabre came out years later than 262.

262 had challenger. It was called P-51. Though there was always hundreds of them.

P-51's gobbled up Me-262s... they had to land where they could get fuel to fly again, and the pony pilots knew it ;)

I love the Chuck Yeager quote on someone's sig, something to the effect of: the first time I saw a jet, I shot it down ;)

Me262 was in service before the Fw190D-9, Bf109K-4, Tempest Mk V, Ar234 and Ta152H-1.  It was also produced in greater numbers than any of those.

It was inservice in July-September of 1944.

If i remember right the Meteor was in service over Europe right at the end of the war, but (thankfully for the pilots at least) they never encountered 262's. Although most Metors were used to shoot down v1 doodlebugs.
