This plane would have changed the war. It was decades ahead of it's time.
It would be a great addition to any late war scenario. Faster and more maneuverable
than the Me-262.....even though the two engines used came from a Me-262.

You've been here long enough to know better.........
....With that said, I would love to see a post war arena!!!!!

simple, just play IL-2 1946 :D, you get all the experimental ac you could want

Hi tech would use a different name than that like "the experimental war arena", the "for-get about it arena" or even "the youz gotta be kidden me arena". Something catchy like Mig alley might even fly it just depends.

This wish? Um.... how about.... no?

I would love to have HTC model some more modern aircraft. They did such an awesome job on the WWII birds, it would be great to have them do others (like every other one).
But, that would mean taking time away from improving the current game, and it's just not worth it.

It was a pipe dream. Flying wing designs are inherrently unstable especially in regards to stalls and spins. It took until the computer age with fly by wire and micro computers to be able to reliably control them. Wood-and-cable pulleys in WW2 were a laugh. On top of that it was a last-ditch effort in a lost war. There were no resources, no facilities, and little hope it would perform "as advertised" -- it was a prototype mockup and a far cry from an actual war-ready production machine. It never would have made it into combat, IMO.

Maybe...... but I would pay 1000 perks to flyn it. Same for the F7 or the F8 maybe 500-750 a few elite perk planes if you wish..maybe some others mark1 mustang, f6f-5 for 300 hundred Alex!
Who could possible say for absolute certain these planes never flew once in combat? <some "intelligence" mission or some "ultra top secreat" training exercise>
I'll take a chance on HT making them as right as the 163, and supply any info I can :rock

Good thing that we will never see it on AH. If we did get the Ho 229, I can see MoM terrorizing everybody in it. Far worst then when they are in the 262.

There were only 3 prototypes built altho in a mock combat test against a Me 262 it outperformed it in every category despite its lack of fly by wire.
