I thought the Meteor was only allowed to operate over the UK and so did see "action" against V1s?

There are so many aircraft that actually saw service in WWII that are not in the game, that I don't really understand why you would want post-war aircraft or those that never even flew at all.

I'd much rather see some of the earlier war plane set fleshed out.  As popular as FSO is, with 500ish regular participants, I think HTC would do well to flesh out some of the gaps in the plane set for early/mid war scenarios.

Meteor Mk I only operated against V1s over the Uk.  Meteor Mk IIIs were deployed at squadron strength to the continent in early 1945 and performed offensive sorties against German positions.

P-61C is post war.  The P-61A or P-61B might happen though.

well this is a "what if"  geez.

i have no problem with that either the IRC-80? (think I got it right) would be a wonderful addition, so would the hawk 75 or Brewster...

Well, I think planes like the CA15 mentioned in the OP would be interesting simply because as far as I know, it's never been modeled in a combat sim before.  None that I know of at least.  It's still a WW2 era plane.  It's not like we're saying throw in a freakin A-4 or something.

It would be interesting and fun.  Isn't that the point?

I disagree, it would be neither interesting nor fun to see how some post-war superplane could dominate WWII aircraft.

It sounds more like a method of getting more US fighters into the game because you are running out of actual WWII US fighters to demand in preference over other nation's fighters that actually fought in WWII.

adding "what if" planes is a down hill process. More uber planes mean more hangar queens on the other side of the scale. The only way to solve this is to really separate early war from late war, which finally stretch HTC resources to pratically developing two parallel games. They might as well do a WWII and Vietnam aces high. One well done and complete set is better than two incomplete ones. HTC had to define a limit. Their's is a good a criterion as any as long as you stick by it.

Um, the CA15 was Australian.
