i know it was used as a "Buzz Bomb" killer for the brits...but i really think they should have this in the game.

I agree, Meteor III's were on the continent attacking ground targets with the 2nd TAF from January 1945 i believe, they definitely took part in Operation Clarion in Feb 1945.  They nearly got a Fieseler Storch in the air, but it landed just before the cannon ripped it up.

They did strafe aircraft on the ground.  It was just that the LW were AWOL so didnt get any air to air claims.

i actually think the meteor would be better for most people than the 262 because it would be easier to fly and has quad hispano.
