PLEASE add information about the Meteor to this post ASAP.  I'm not going to insult you over it, but others will.

Also, you really should change your post to have correct spelling and grammar.  Again, I don't mind, but others on these forums will.

P.S.  If anyone finds the above post to be 'worthy' of being flamed, go somewhere else and don't post in this thread.

<sigh>

glock, i suggest you look into the combat history of the Meteor.  It was actually quite active, just never saw A2A combat with the LW because the LW was a no show.  It did however claim plenty on the ground and was operating on the continent with the 2nd TAF from Jan 1945.  The Meteor was in service from mid-1944.

Personally i think that the Meteor deserves its place more, and would add more gameplay value than the 163.

Do you mean it shouldn't be added because it  is not a YANK TANK.

The Meteor was the pinnacle of British aeronautical technology and better then the yank jet.

There is a spell check button at the bottom you know
It was slower than 262 and will be easy meat for even prop planes
no

I don't think 480mph would be easy meat for prop planes.

262 goes 550...
A P-47 routinely goes above 500mph in dives

540mph, no need to exagerate.

Yes, the Me262 is faster and I have had many prop fighters faster than 540mph.  In fact I have tested high end prop planes to evaluate their ability to dive on, and catch, an Me262.  Even the N1K2-J can create a brief window of opportunity on the Me262.  The Ar234 also has a top speed of 480mph and is most often able to run without difficulty.

The Meteor Mk III would be more vulnerable than the Me262, but calling it easy prey for prop fighters is very disingenuous.  The Meteor, like the Me262, could dive away with relative ease.  In addition the Meteor Mk III would have a significantly better acceleration than the Me262 for much of the speed range as evidenced by its superior climb rate.  The four Hispano Mk II 20mm cannons in the nose might not hit as hard as the Me262's four MK108 30mm cannons, but they would still be quite lethal and significantly easier to score hits with.  I also understand the Meteor turned better than the Me262.

In short, the Meteor Mk III's perk price would be the second highest, and not far behind the Me262's.

If he's talking about the P-59, then he is correct, the Meteor was a far better jet than the Airacomet and the US Navy's FR Fireball.

Id love to see this plane added. I cant hit anything with those 4 30mm's, it woul be nice to have a jet with 20's.

Oh and I agree with spikes.

The axis only has 2 bombers and the allies got all the fighters and bombers and you want a jet now. Come on the axis needs bombers and gvs. :pray :pray

Im talking about 2 engines bombers. If they get the metro we should get the 88.

Ju88A-4, Ar234B and Ki-67.

Axis does need more bombers, no doubt.

But talking about the Meteor Mk III does not give it a high priority.

It would be nice to see a Do217, Ju188, He177, P1Y1 "Frances" or H8K2 "Emily" soon.   Even a Do17, He111, S.M.79-II, G4M2 "Betty", Ki-48 "Lily" or Ki-49 "Helen" would be nice.

To be fair, most US props were better than the P-59...  :noid

It's not saying much to compare the Meteor to it.

Who ever stated it needed to be perked?

Just because it's a jet plane, doesn't mean it HAS to be perked.


just my $0.02

I left them off because A) they aren't bombers and B) I think the G.55 is just as low a priority as the Meteor Mk III.  Me410 would be very nice, but as I said, it is not a bomber.

Its performance says it would have to be perked.  It is a monster compared to the Tempest, faster, tighter turning and four Hispanos in the nose.

meteor vs me262.....spit VS 109....I like matchups....maneuverability vs speed is always an interesting fight  :aok
