Gloster Meteor

[Devil 505]

I'd love to see the Meteor in AH


only after every other combat plane is added first.

BNZ this image you posted is obviously bogus, look at where the spit14 is. It's almost as bad as those wartime tactical trial reports that make the ridiculous claim that the spit14 with drop tanks and a full tank of gas has a smaller turning circle than a clean 109g6.

What is the original source of that diagram? Look at the inner ring.

Spit XIV isnt a bad turner. its worse than the other spits but still better than most other late war rides. But you need to use the throttle since it doesnt bleed E fast enough otherwise. But hanging on the tail of a C.205 or similar plane is no problem at all, just reduce throttle.

 P 80s in Italy, U.S. Marines were flying the F7F,

The meteor was the first jet fighter in the Israeli air force. Even scored a couple of air to air kills. It and the Beaufighter are the last WWII combat planes that also served in the IAF and are missing from the roster.

I want both!

[Bruv119]

yes bozon lets be greedy and have BOTH!!!      

I won't ever wish for anything else and be content! 

I had a 262vs262 engagement the other day felt like ages since that happened.  Still got an adrenaline buzz when I swooped in for the kill.   I just want to do it with some roundels on it you know what I mean??

Not P-80s.  YP-80s, there's a difference.

Now that we are on steam I reckon this is the perfect opportunity to give all the newbies something exciting and whizzbang coolness. 

Add the Meteor MKIII as a glitzy new fighter and have beautiful splash screens of it all chromed out sparkling in the sun glare!  It would be awesome and not even a small whisper of hangar queen under ones breath shall be muttered!!

Yes thats the spirit Arlo  we could market it as  "the Aces High Jetpack"    only $14.95 a month!         

We will leave the bit about the hefty perk cost out until it's in the hangar.

So will Greebo do the all white skin as the default so we can tell it's not a 262 like the active F.3's were painted to keep allied AA crews from blasting them out of the air?
