besides we need a B17 killer capable of reaching 30K plus and still flyable! Me163 would be good point defense. after all the range was very limited so why not allow them, they can't be used offensively.

And that would be about as close as you get to an air-to-air missile in WWII, yet remain within the era  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

What about the 163 variant with the light sensing cells on the wings and the cannon pointing straight up. When the plane passed the shadow of a plane above, *BOOM* Bye Bye B17.

With current fuel modifier, the last part of your climb would be only due to inertia.

And when you reach that 35k, you will be low and slow for gunners to pick  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Good side though is that all landings will be without that dangerous fuel.

OK, seriously now. I don't think Me 163 has any real future in any sim, but now you got me interested a bit. Hmmmm, maybe...

If this sim were allowed to evolve more similar to how WW2 evovled then maybe the ME163 would have a place.  If the 163 scenario were modeled correctly then about a fourth of them would explode taking the pilot with them in powerful puffs of peroxide.
Yuuuuck!  Just can't get excited about that.

Hear-hear bbgun!

The same should apply to plane ratios: let's have LW/Western front; LW/Eastern front; US/Pacific planesets. And restrict the availability of particular planes by the historic ratios.

I really don't care if 262s or 163 or 335s or any suchlike plane is available as long as it's available in the ratio it was available in combat - 1/thousands...

I'm afraid we will drown in "I paid my money I want my Pony" posts though (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif).

If and when HTC introduces the Komet, they should model fuel leaks.

re: ME163 has no future in any WW2 sim...

during Operation Longbow scenario in AW3, in one of the lst frames they used the Mig15 with endurance of 7 or 8 minutes to simulate the ME163... as of all i've heared they had a BLAST  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) (i only saw one of them zip by my 109 during that frame....
