And if you want an allied jet that just barely meets the games inclusion requirements in the minds of some players. Lobby for the Meteor.
I was one who was against the meteor for a while, but honestly my judgement of "Combat" was slightly off back then, the Meteor was in squadron strength and flew combat sorties. Unlike the "Tigercat" which was enrouted to Okinawa on ships - not even in squadron service yet, or seen combat.
Anyone who believes it "barely" meets the requirements, probably just wants a reason to put it down on the list and something else up. Reminds me of Tank-Ace who would vouch for a Luftwobble plane over anything else.
