The ride most wanted :) :)
« on: September 25, 2001, 07:40:00 PM »
I got the ride of my AH career today thanks to HT  :)  :)
  HT made the comment to watch out for a hi-speed P51.  (Guess who was testing the me262 FM  :) )  After HT flew around for a bit asking who had a hi alt bomber floating around I just off handedly asked if he was giving rides.  Yup sure was so off to bishland I went.  First time outta nitland since beta I believe.  Well it was worth the humilation of being bish for 12 hrs !!! Even got a film of 2 Forts going down in flames  ;)  :)

1.08 is GUNNA ROCK!

PDog my guess is that was a Me-262's flightmodel/armament in P-51's skin.
HT tested groundvehicles with B-17's skin. I've heard it looked strange to see buff crawling in a ground.

Er, pdog... when testing a new FM in the MA HTC uses the p-51 a/c model. In this case, to test the Me-262. Which saw extremely limited service in the last days of the war.

Pdog I think you misunderstood the post. HT tests new planes FMs in the MA using a P51 usually. I think HT put the FM of a 262 on the P51. HT always anounces his test to the MA so people don't think someone is cheating.

Where are those films Rocket?  :D

Did you get a film of me getting shot down rocket?  Would love to see it.  Btw- the speed of that thing is amazing, hard to track with guns.  First time he flew behind me, across my tail at about d450, I only managed one ping on the tail after adjusting, usually would be an easy shot.  (He was playing around and tore apart his plane and I got credit for kill, hehe.)  Second time he zoomed in on me and tore my plane apart, impressive.

Spitfire Mk.I with fully functioning carburetor cut-out under Neg-G, and Bf-109E-7 with wing mounted 20mms.

 Its slow, and would be eaten alive by most every plane.. but meeting a Spit MkI in a Bf-109(and vice versa) would mean joy  :D

Me262 saw far more then limited sevice.

No P51-H yet, think it should be added in time though as a very expensive perk.

Add Meteor Mk.1, it was the only allied jet to see action, the Mk.III saw service but no action.
No need to perk the meteor though, top speed was just slightly above 400Mph at 10k.

Wilbus,

Meteor MkIII did see action.

It was stationed on the continent in March, 1945 and used in strikes on German positions.

I really don't care if it is added or not, I just wanted to clarify its actual use.

In my opinion the Meteor MkI would be a cheap perk, say 10 to 20 points.
