    Hello,

    I wish to suggest an additional plane to be added in addition to a modification of Me-262 flight time.

    Please consider adding the Gloster Meteor to the Allied (Reds) and making it available during the same time as the Me-262. Additionally, make the window during which Me-262 is available longer, to maybe 1-2 days.

    Gloster Meteor ?

    What comes next ?

    Arado Ar-234 bombers or Heinkel He-162 fighters for Gold ?

    I think it would be more interesting to put in early-war planes instead of super-duper late-war designs.

    What about the idea to put in very early warplanes like those from the Spanish-Civil-War or the Battle in China like

    Heinkel He-51, Polikarpow I-15, Nakajima Ki-27, Mitsubish A5M, Me-109B, Breguet-19, Ju-52-bombers, Curtiss Hawk-III, Fiat C.R.32, PZL P11 and so on.

    I think this would be more interesting than adding superplanes.

    gloster meteor was never used in figth with enemy figters, it was only speed but others parameters was poor. Meteor was used only for V1 hounting.

    I agree with babek - more early planes (especialy PZL P11 for polish freinds[​IMG]

    Meteor never fought other aircraft.
    I think we (admins [​IMG]) should invest more in early war planes, why not extending RPS to 37-38 ? [​IMG]

    > Hmmm, Sounds like Snoopy.

    I agree with Snoopy regarding the Me-262 window expansion, but we are definately seperate people. My girlfriend knows Snoopy and would strenuosly object to any suggestion that we were the same.

    To everyone else, thank you for your replies. Perhaps the Gloster Meteor is not well suited for WB after all. I was just trying to find some compromise to get the Me-262 availability expanded, but I guess I must get back to the drawing board. : )

    Don't worry, 262 time will be expanded to counter the La7. I can alrerady imagine where this is going...

    Ok, and we'll be the ones with the Tie-Advanced, and Tie-Interceptors and so on... reds will have X-Wings, Y-wings... and well yeah... a jeep with double .50's [​IMG]

    As for the extension to 37-38... WWII only started in 39 I thought? (39 ok, 37, no way, hey this rhimes too [​IMG])
