Oh yeah, it is better looking than the Meteor too.




The engines are BIG but its looks much more dangerous that the unfinished Heinkel

so did the Meteor unless you don't think intercepting a flying bombs with a 1 ton warhead wasn't combat.

ack-ack

is bomb disposal combat? lol

162 has a number of kills and has even been shot down by enemy aircraft. how many v1's brought down a meteor?

So what you are basically saying is someone who defuses live bombs for a living did not serve in combat, however someone that WAS shot, was in combat?
Torqoise how did you get yourself unbanned?

Meteor didn't face combat in a sense it did not face Fw190s or Me262s, it might of been placed in "green zones" where it faced no opposition - for good reason (read above since you apparently did not already).
The Meteor was in operational Strength and did tip a few V-1s over, and did some ground strafing. Yeah you can't compare it to ground troops on Iwo Jima, but it did serve in combat.

My opinion is the 162 has not a chance in hell to being added to Aces High, I'd vote on the P-80 being it was tested and evaluated, unlike 162 which was simply rushed as a last minute ditch effort to save whats left of Germany for the time.

The 162 inarguably saw more combat than the Meteor III, if not by duration then certinally be intensity and kills.

Why exactly wouldn't the 162 have a chance of being added, anyway?

In my opinion, the He162 and Meteor Mk III are the only two jets not already in the game that stand a chance of being added to the game.

because it would be nice to have a jet to combat the 262. :cool: 
I had the impression that 262 can combat the 262 quite well. Amazingly, aeronautical engineers on all three chess countries were able to develop an identical plane at the same time. Espionage?
The Bishops used forced labor to build it though.

Almost lol'd at sea cucumber. (Gotta be sparing with the LOWELLS at work)

Awesome.

Downright ugly plane, no doubt about it.
