History:
First flight 5 March 1943. The Meteor was designed to Air Ministry Specification F.9/40, the first official British requirement to be issued for a single-seat interceptor powered by a gas-turbine engine. After completing 8 prototypes Gloster built 20 examples of the Mk. I, 16 of which were delivered to the RAF. Their first operational success came on 4 August 1944, when Meteors from No. 616 Squadron destroyed two V-1 flying bombs over southern England. These were the first of many V1's to be brought down by the new fighters. The major wartime version was the Meteor Mk. III (280 built) which employed the Rolls-Royce Derwent engine giving a higher maximum speed of 793 km/h (493 mph) at 9,145 m (30,000 ft). Other versions included the Mk. II (with D.H. Goblin engines) and the Mk. IV (with two Rolls Royce Derwent 5 engines). [7]

Damn, that Meteor is A-10 ugly :D

Meteor would be a nice add to the plane set.
But it should be limited to its historical role in WWII.
Offline, shooting drones. :D ;)

Tu2 - what happened to it?

Hmmm,ideas,ideas :)
RAF
Wellington
Boston
Mosquito Bomber (Bulged bomb bay for 4000lb Cookie :) )
Catalina (Wouldnt it be cool to get points for picking up shot down pilots in the water?)
Player controlled ships (Instead of sticking with the CV group,crew a destroyer go where you want!)
4/5 goons to resupply a field,1 is too easy and frustrating.
Jeep with .50 for recon/base defence
Churchill Tank
Sherman
More roads with bridges with more player controlled aa guns.
Less mountainous terrain,be nice to get the ground war underway properly at last,you could escort a supply convoy in your halftrack or whatever.
Supply ship convoys/single ship convoys supplying damaged ports bases by the sea,be nice to perform some anti-shipping strikes in Mosquitos :)
'Special' targets,such as BIG guns like the shore guns,maybe a Dam?,railway viaduct? with a LOT of aa and points for taking out.
Okay,getting carried away here :D
Just things Id love to see! oh,and bigger sheep.
