:bhead When did they add that rule????

After I get my Atom-Bombs.

To my knowledge there is no such thing as a Meteor Mk II. The Meteor Mk I was pretty much a prototype even though it went into service. The only version of the Meteor that ought to be considered is the Mk III.

Piffle! It's haughty and detracts to reflexively say "SEARCH THE BOARDS!"
Goodness, if that were assiduously adhered to there'd be no future posts, for over the past decade plus every assertion, wish, and whine has somewhere existed prior.

I have a lot of down time in my job so I get to check the boards often. In the OP's case many of his post have already been discussed some at length. A quick check could have added a lot of reading for him to go through and may have answered his question or gave him many reasons why he really didn't have to post/start a new thread.
As to no need to post because it has been posted before..... In the many years I have been on these boards I has seen many new and interesting thoughts, as well as new and NOT very interesting thoughts posted all the time. Search only takes a minute or two and can help not to clutter up the boards with multiple threads on the same subjects.

Meteor MKII was actually referred to as the Meteor F.1 which, when you search on the Internet, actually did go into service. It was responsible for ~200 enemy aircraft destroyed on the ground in hit and run attacks.
-
They never entered a dogfight (shooting V1s isnt a dogfight, even if that was dangerous ofc).

That is irrelevant.
F.1 was a Mk I, hence the "1". A Spitfire Mk I was a Mk I, but that didn't make the Spitfire Mk Ia into a Mk II. The Spitfire didn't go from the Spitfire Mk XIX to the Spitfire F.1, it went from the Spitfire Mk XIX to the Spitfire F.21.

Hey Hop, that RF-8 is out to shoot photos, not cannon rounds . . . :D
You need one of these:

Also, look down on the carrier deck of your photo. That C1 is just about to be catapulted off the fantail :O
And regarding the Meteor, I vote for that too. :aok

HAH! Good catch. I didn't notice the lack o' guns on the front until you pointed it out. Still...she's a pretty bird. :)

+1 Meteor if its cheaper than the 262

The last thing I need buzzing around my B-17G is another 350+ mph target.

I'm not so sure of that, your gunnery is pretty darn good.

Why thank you for the compliment dearie! :D
Wait....
How do you know?

Darnit Zoney all the 262 dweebs were supposed to learn that the hard way!
I'm terribly over-confident. :o

PUNT!
A Meteor Mk III I'd like to Fly! :pray
Kazaa can be my wingman anytime!
-
I'de like to see it when the add the 162 and JU52 :D
-
I seen the Specs on the Meteor Mk III that seen combat, it out does everything a Tempest does except acceleration and I believe its turn radius is rather close.
When you put this into perspective, take up a tempest in the Training Arena, and just consider it a little faster with poorer acceleration and you got a meteor.
Oh and 4 Hispanos in the nose, which is a plus.
-
Yeah, look at it, the Meteor would be a bit underwhelming.
If I had to guess, I'd say a lot of people are hoping for a counter to the 262, in which case they will be sorely disappointed.

Maybe but it would add excitement to the game and a nod to the outstanding aerospace Industry of England in WW2. I'd rather see the Beau and the Firefly but bring the Meteor on.

And my swordfish :old:

Slower than Me262 but faster than any other general use fighter, but better accelerating/climbing, better turning fighter with better anti-fighter guns? If anything it would need a higher perk cost than the Me262.

Agreed. I think it would be similar to a F6F vs P51D match up. Mix it up for a few turns, loops, etc, then the P51D just had to extend out a minute or two to create a bit of space. The same would be true of the Meteor III and the Me262. Though, the speeds would be 400-500 instead of 300-350. :D

It looks like a slightly better tempest. Vs other fighters, sure it's probably better. But if you want to kill a 262, your best choice is another 262. Or the He 162, being a more maneuverable 262.

All the Me262 will have over the Meteor is the ability to run. Once engaged the Meteor would be competitive. It is very much faster than the Tempest. The ballistics on the Hispanos would be a significant advantage in a fight with the Me262. The MK108's poor muzzle velocity is a serious problem for the Me262.
Well, Me262 may roll better. Not sure on that.

Speed, and thus the ability to engage and disengage at will, seems to be quite important. The La-7, D9, P-51 are quite maligned in the MA, but there's a reason they're labeled as dweeb rides.

It isn't as useful as some make it out to be. It is useful, but hardly an "I win" button, particularly when paired with the horrible MK108 ballistics. The 262's speed advantage is not large enough to allow it to engage with any level of aggressiveness and still be able to disengage at will.

And my swordfish
Hook a torpedo to an F2B, slap on a new light-colored skin, and you have Greas' "Brisfish," probably a close approximation.

Not exactly Mk III is much faster than tempest about 80mph... Also its acceleration pattern is very different (as of any jet) it has much better acceleration at high speeds.

Maybe you misunderstood what I wrote, I didn't say the Meteor was slower. Any how here is the comparison:

Allied can have the Meteor if 262 and 190s get the r4m rocket system.
It was used by Luftwaffe in 1945 and was very effective.
Allied buffs thought they where hit by flak when when downed.

There isn't some silly tit for tat. Me262 should get R4M regardless of the Meteor being added or not just because the Me262 should have R4M.
-
I may use the Meteor because of it's 20mm Hispano gun package since I can't hit the ground with the 262s 30mm pack. I think some of the real good 262 sticks would eat the Meteor in air to air combat. Plus the Meteor saw little action anyway. I think it was used to chase down V-1s mostly.
-
Chasing down V1's and ground attack missions.
Its seen combat, was used in squadron strength aswell.
I'd like to see it added at some point so +1

+1, Allied 262 would be cool for AvA

I can go back to my comments from 2002 and agree. However, HTC said a few years ago (2006) that the plane needed to be in combat in World War 2. The F7F Tigercat was enroute to Okinawa and landed when the war ended, does not qualify as combat. The Dornier 335 was a prototype that ran into allied fighters, but never entered production - still didn't see combat as HTC said prototypes will not be added. The C.205 flew with drop tanks far more then then F7F and 335 and many others - in combat, and its been hell trying to get me to get them added in game. However, the Meteor flew combat missions, V-1s were still combat - it was flown on mostly attack missions late in the war because the British did not want the Meteors falling into German hands, wise decision since it could easily end up in Russia's hand as well.
Whether its ground attack or flying against V-1s, its still in production, and in combat. And in 2002 I can agree I would of been against the Meteor on grounds I rather have aircraft like the Ki-44 and Ki-43, anything that seen combat daily vs something that really didn't play a direct role in the war. However I won't go against something that seen combat.
/I can see even 5 years ago, butting heads with Karnak over the Meteor, maybe I am getting old?

Say no to the meteor. More German stuff!
-
I want my IAR 80, dammit!!
-
no meteor and +1 to Rm4 rockets on 262, 163 and 190s
-

Or not. Jerry has 23 types to the Brits 19, Japanese 11, Russians 8, Italy 2, and US 35
Which mean the Brits are allowed another 16 types before any other country gets one :old:

I'd love to see the Meteor added.
+1
