Title: Gloster Meteor
Post by: stealth on February 20, 2010, 04:10:24 PM
This is a WW2 British jet.Very powerful very dangerous.
  Performance
  Max speed sea level 592mph.  
  Max speed at 30,000 ft 550mph,Can climb to 30,000 ft in 6minutes 30 seconds.
  Service ceiling 40,000 ft
  Range with out drop tanks 690miles
  With 420 imp gal of fuel with 105 imp gal drop tank fixed in ventral
  Armament
  4 fixed 20mm British Hispano cannon in nose,195 rounds per gun
  Powerplant
  Two 3,500lb thrust Rolls Royce Derwent 8 turbojets
This is a deadly aircraft of course perk the thing its not a 262 it has a worse performance then the 262 basically plus it gives something to fight against the Me-262.
What do you think.

Not sure why you brought up the B-29?  Stealth, we will most likely never see the Gloster Meteor.  Never saw any action and appear in combat at the end of ET.  Althought, i would like to see it on AH.

Well the thing is not a lot of people can aim the 30mm well going 500mph,You might have a better shot though with the 20mm.

And what does aiming 20mms have to do with including another jet to the game?

We can't. British jet was in service but never saw any action in the air and in low numbers in service.  U.S. was about to make it first flight in the war but hours after Germany surrender.  As much as i would like to see them on AH, i think HT would favor more for the B-29.

it did see action but  was interrupted by a flight of tempests mistaking them for 262's

That is why i said it never saw action in the air.....i should have said it better.  Yes, it did saw action by ground attacks, no air to air fights.

they were attacking a flight of FW 190's  when a second flight of tempests mistook the meteors for Me262's . the meteors had to hot foot it out so the tempests wouldn't shoot them down . the Fw 190's were in flight at the time.
 and you should have have said it did see action not "saw action" .

 Weren't they used for shooting down V1 buzzbombs? I think that could be considered air to air attacks.

There is no requirement for the action to have been air-to-air.

The only criteria are:

Squadron service of production air frames and that it saw combat.


The Meteor is valid for consideration.  That said, it should also be VERY low priority.

Three jets? Do you need to take basic math again? We have ONE jet aircraft that has TWO jet engines. Not three. The Me-163 is a rocket. Entirely different.


Edit: Chit, I knew I forgot one!

Whoa, "Krusty Math time" (sorry Krusty).   We have TWO, twin engined jets and a rocket (Arado, 262 and 163 respectively).

I say we put it in here like the 163 for example it saw action not much though but it blew up on take off most of the time.Now if we have the 163 then we should have the Gloster Meteor maybe have it only up from like 3 fields like the 163 though.

Im not sure but "it saw combat" is like "it shoot down 1 plane" or "it was shoot down by" not "he was close to another enemy plane" cuz thats not combat so the criteria don't match what is needed to add a plane.

+1

But sadly we can't have it. :/

LOL, i wonder what the 190 boys where thinking when they saw both Meteors and Tempests. I did not know the the Meteors even saw any german AC in the air.  All i read was they mostly hit ground targets.  That is interesting.

Saw combat, as in fired its guns in anger and/or was fired upon in anger.  The Meteor meets both of those qualifications.  It doesn't matter if it was AA guns on the ground or aircraft in the air.  I assure you, the Germans didn't just let it shoot things up without shooting back when it was doing ground attacks.

I wouldn't take too much of that to heart...... He don't even play.  It's obvious as he speaks of 262's vulching fields.  Or "strafing fighters and bombers" 

I'm surprised he didnt mention how great he feels strafing gv's in his 262!!!
Lol no man your wrong I rather shoot buildings in my 262,not strafing Gvs.
