ME-262 is superior imo. Much like the P-51B/D is against a 190A8 at 25K.

 Westy


slighty O/T, but 77 Sqn RAAF Meteor Mk8's suffered at the hands of Chinese Mig-15's. The Meteors were withdrawn to ground attack missions, in areas where UN air superiority was high, and plans to re-equip with Australian built F-86's quickly drawn up.

The MiG-15 would be far, far superior to the Me262.

Very true K, which is why I didn't postulate that the results between the Migs and Meteors in Korea, would mirror what would happen between Meteors and 262's.....althought I did consider it  :)

From what I have read, I get the consensus that the 262 would be superior than the Meteor, the Meteor being the less manoeuvrable example.

The Meteor would be a wonderful addition to AH, and a serious threat to the 262.
Its not as fast, nor does it accelerate as fast, but it would still be the second fastest plane of AH. Its got good armament, rocket ability, good range and good handling.
I have seen Meteros on an airshow doing lovely low-speed low-alt aerobatics, and still running on the original engine!!!!
(Centrifugal turbojet gives a really distinctive and funny sound)
It would catch Arados, outrun Mustangs, and still not having to B&Z, for it would be able to dogfight some fighters. In a close quarters fight I would put my money on the Meteor vs. the 262 as soon as they are under like 400 mph.
Yeahh...bring it!!!!

p.s. Regarding the eternal Biplane begging....
I see no use of Biplanes untill we have the slowest monoplanes (Japanese and early European), and then ONLY if we got like 3 or 4 of them in a batch to be able to create a historical setup in the CT. The first one to feature would IMOP be the Swordfish.

It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)
