Well, I think what with the new updates being made up of the Late war toy's and the early war toys now days it might just be time time for another Wonder weapon, How about a Me 163:) A perk for shure, and what A ride it would be.

A good Link:

hehe, that pic made me think of a story.
One of my friends saw a pic like this and stated: "That plane can't be very fast with such a small prop".
He couldn't understand why I started laughing right up in his face.

ROFL!!!

Great, now every time I see a Me163 I will think of that comment

"Whereas the experienced 163 pilot would come down at 500 miles per hour, down to the deck and come over the airport and fly inside the defense perimeter and stay there circling until it bled off its speed and landed. The Allied fighters had a long way to fly home, and were not going to risk flying within that perimeter"

DAMN ack-huggers!!

LOL

I don't think it would need to be perked that hard as long as it was modelled complete with its tendency to explode if you touched down too hard... or the interesting 'pilot wound' if the cockpit-side fuel tanks were breached...

the ME-163's little propeller on the front drove a wind powered generator
