..is the Gloster Meteor! I know that plane probably isn't high on everyone's list, however, since the Me-262 is in AH and soon the Me-163 will be in AH, I think it would be great to have an Allied jet in AH. I know the 262 and Meteor never met in combat during the war, but the Meteor was in operation on mainland Europe before the war ended and it was used over England/The English channel to hunt V-1's. Therefore, I think we can make a case for the Meteor F.1 to be in AH. Besides, that way we will be able to run events that pit the 262 vs the Meteor

You have to admit, it would be fun!

Perk planes are useless. We don't need any more.

The 162 is a jet fighter capable of level speeds of 560mph.

You're thinking of (I'm guessing you are anyways) the 163, the upcoming rocket fighter in 1.11.

I agree, we need the P-47M instead.

ammo,

If/when they add the P-47M, I sincerely hope it isn't porked, er, perked.

when they add it, I hope it is not either of those attributes myself.

I will refrane from comminting on a P47M, everybody is intitled to want their favorate toy.

I howeaver will comment on the Meteor, I would much rather see a He 162 than that plane the he 162 was such a better plane and would be a lot more fun to fly, Captain Erich Brown refered to it as the Best gun platform outa of the WW2 jets he flew, and I do beleave he flew them all, I also thought one of the criteria for the addation was that a plane of actualy saw combat, I know metors shot down Buzz bombs but so did english boys with sling shots, did the Metoer actually shot down an enemy "maned" aircraft?

I will refrain from commenting on the HE 162, everyone is entitled to wanting their fav toy;)

The Meteor Mk III saw action on the European mainland. The Mk I is slower than a Tempest. Why bother?

I think he meant Gloster Gladiator, would be so manuverable you'd have to perk it

Well Gloster Meator would be interesting plane to see, but its not really something we Really need right now, at least not in my opinion. But then I'm sure some would argue that the Gladiator isnt either... Except in CT where I know LOTS of people who would like it

I think it would be Great to see both the Gloster Meteor & Gloster Gladiator added at the same time!

The ME-163 is a complete waste of time. With only about 2 minutes endurance it's about as usefull as "Tits on a Boar Hog". Also alot more useful planes for the LW than the HE 162 out there. You have the ME-262, what do you want a mediocre "tugboat" like the HE-162 for?

For that matter any more "Perk Planes" are also uncalled for when there are such GLARING gaps in the plane sets - especially the Japanese side. Don't think we need another version of the Spitfire or Jugg either untill some of these missing A/C make it on the scene here in AH.

But I imagine we will have every model of the Spitfire, P-38, P-47 & F4U in AH INCLUDEING the damn prototypes before we will see the KI-84 FRANK. Expect to look up anyday from the warn, shot through cockpit of my Zeke and see the Allies have the F-15 EAGLE. (Just to make it "More Interesting" to see how they would have done against the Axis in WW2.)

P47M should be the next perk plane!

Oh! Don't forget to fix the Ta152 ;-D

Probably isn't needed, but 162 is a cool choice. Only Go229 is cooler.

Who wants clunky classic airframe with stuck jet engines they call the Meteor anyway ?
