We can't. British jet was in service but never saw any action in the air and in low numbers in service.  U.S. was about to make it first flight in the war but hours after Germany surrender.  As much as i would like to see them on AH, i think HT would favor more for the B-29.

Still a good plane though. :D

That is why i said it never saw action in the air.....i should have said it better.  Yes, it did saw action by ground attacks, no air to air fights.

they were attacking a flight of FW 190's  when a second flight of tempests mistook the meteors for Me262's . the meteors had to hot foot it out so the tempests wouldn't shoot them down . the Fw 190's were in flight at the time.
 and you should have have said it did see action not "saw action" .

 Weren't they used for shooting down V1 buzzbombs? I think that could be considered air to air attacks.

There is no requirement for the action to have been air-to-air.

The only criteria are:

Squadron service of production air frames and that it saw combat.


The Meteor is valid for consideration.  That said, it should also be VERY low priority.

Three jets? Do you need to take basic math again? We have ONE jet aircraft that has TWO jet engines. Not three. The Me-163 is a rocket. Entirely different.

Whoa, "Krusty Math time" (sorry Krusty).   We have TWO, twin engined jets and a rocket (Arado, 262 and 163 respectively).

I say we put it in here like the 163 for example it saw action not much though but it blew up on take off most of the time.Now if we have the 163 then we should have the Gloster Meteor maybe have it only up from like 3 fields like the 163 though.

Im not sure but "it saw combat" is like "it shoot down 1 plane" or "it was shoot down by" not "he was close to another enemy plane" cuz thats not combat so the criteria don't match what is needed to add a plane.

+1

But sadly we can't have it. :/

LOL, i wonder what the 190 boys where thinking when they saw both Meteors and Tempests. I did not know the the Meteors even saw any german AC in the air.  All i read was they mostly hit ground targets.  That is interesting.
