Title: glostor meteor
Post by: 99conman on September 04, 2008, 11:41:45 AM
the British gloster meteor would be a good addition to the game and means Base protectors will have something to take on the 262.

I don't believe that jet saw any action in the European theater.

It did, first against V1s in 1944 and then on offensive air patrols and ground strikes on the continent in 1945.  No air-to-air kills though.

I'm pretty sure there was at least one squadron based in Europe at the end of the war and flew combat missions. I remember someone posting about it in here a long time ago with a link to the squadrons operational history.

Then that's why I didn't know about it. I'm more familiar with planes that had larger amounts of air-to-air combat kills.

I wouldn't mind it. The Meteor and 262 never met each others in the skies during WW2. Maybe AHII can make that happen!

It would be fun.  However, I think there are many other aircraft that have earned a higher rank in the "need/should be added" category. 

IIRC, the Meteor was slower but could take the tight turns better.  I'll have to look up the info again.  I thought I remember reading that a Meteor vs Me262 dog fight would end up very much like the typical Spitfire vs Bf109 battle (speed vs turn vs climb vs roll, etc).

Not really the meteor did about 100mph less then the 262.

I don't see why the P.108 would be a lower priority than the Meteor. The Italian air force is poorly represented in this game. On the other hand the British, Americans, and Germans are highly represented when looking at their percentage on the plane set.

I'm pretty sure there was at least one squadron based in Europe at the end of the war and flew combat missions. I remember someone posting about it in here a long time ago with a link to the squadrons operational history.

616 Squadron flying Meteor IIIs, they were part of the 2nd TAF.

It is interesting to note that the Meteor I entered service in mid 1944, about the same time as the Tempest and P-51D but was kept back in Britain to protect against the V-1.  Had the Luftwaffe been more active during this time then undoubtedly it would have seen action.  The IIIs on the continent destroyed aircraft on the ground, but never managed air to air combat because the Luftwaffe was a no show.

I think the Meteor more than qualifies to be in AH, it was part of the Allied inventory for a long time during the war and had the Luftwaffe been more active during this time then it would have seen a lot of combat.  All the Germans had to do was take off and immediately they would be in air to air combat, i guess to some this makes their aircraft more valid.  The 163 is in game, and that only saw service in JG400 as far as i know.  I believe that the Meteor probably destroyed more enemy aircraft that the Komet did, just the Meteor got them on the ground and the 163 got them in the air, plus all the V-1 kills.

Yeah, but there are those times when two shades meet each other in the same forum, while posting in the same thread, at the same time. And when there is a slight deviation from the original topic of the thread, these two shades meeting each other at the same time will de-rail each other very quickly.

In the last sim I was playing there was a great number of ppl working on new airplanes (every year we was used to get 10 new aircrafts) but there was a simple rule, the airplanes had to be produced in large number (don't remeber exactly that host deadline) but was something like 5'000 at least. Any other which got produced in a smaller number was out of any wish.
If I well remember in late 1944 there was only 20 meteor flying as ground fighters.

Warbirds Freehost  http://www.wbfree.net/ (http://www.wbfree.net/) and here you can see wich planes have been added and the "game rules" http://paginas.terra.com.br/servicos/nicae/ (http://paginas.terra.com.br/servicos/nicae/)
WIch it hasn't been updated since ages, those airplanes have been already added in 2003 (I-153, Mc.202 scheme, Bf109F-2, Bf110F-1, F4U-1A, F6F-3, FW190F-8, FW190G-8, Ki-27, Spitfire IIa, IL-2M3, Ju87B, Ju88A-1, DB-3F, IL-4.)

I don't see why the P.108 would be a lower priority than the Meteor. The Italian air force is poorly represented in this game. On the other hand the British, Americans, and Germans are highly represented when looking at their percentage on the plane set.
I agree the Italian set needs to be added to, but by the aircraft they actually fought the war with, not aircraft that represent a tiny fraction of their forces at the absolute tail end of their participation.  If you'd said to add the SM.79-II or Cant Z.1007 I'd have fully agreed with you.

If the limit is 5000 they couldn't possibly add 10 aircraft a year to a WWII sim.  Only two Japanese types exceeded 5000 and none did if you limit it to 5000 of a given mark.  Very, very few aircraft of a given mark exceeded 5000.

FYI, HTC has a limit too.  It has to have been in series production (i.e., no prototypes), in service in squadron strength and has to have seen combat.  The Meteor Mk III meets all of those criteria.
