What about RAF jets? - Serpiko - 21.12.2009

Suddenly, a voice vith a german accent shouted:

"Hey Tommies, where are your Meteors?"

:roll:

Well meteor not quite but here's an RAF jet being worked on by the Aviator Mod Team.

Importing into game and testing various shadings etc... please note this picture is old and for those who don't recognise it it is a Hawker Hunter.

This is good but I think Meteor or Vampire would be better.Anyway I'm looking forward to this.

- F22-Raptor-2006 - 21.12.2009

RAF662 is working on a vampire.

That's why we need a new one! :lol:

Mr. Jolly was working on a Meteor, and Deutschmark said that they were "in the process of working it out."

*high pitched girly squeal* eeeeeeee a hunter! I love you guys!

As for a meteor, I'm not sure about that, I can't remember. But I do know that RAF magpie has a brilliant looking DH Vampire under construction right now as well.

--edited for my stupidity--
Ah yes, so they did. Thank you for the link, mate

I'm not sure but I remember reading somewhere that the Meteor actually saw some combat towards the end of WWII. It never got a chance to tangle with the 262, but they did put the effort in.

In the IL-2 Game scenario of 1945...

The Americans have the P-80 "Shooting Star"
The Germans have the Me-262 "Schwalbe"
The British have... have... Zippi-dy-Do-Dah !

At least that is what IL-2-1946 looks like without a British "Meteor" Cry

What was Oleg thinking of at the time he put out Il-2 1946? Everyone got Jets except the British , and
the Japanese. Those guys had already a few Nakajima "Kikka" ready to fly.

True, The Meteor did see some action in 1945, but not against the Me-262.
True, The Americans came in too late with the P-80, but the jets did arrive in Europe, but the war was over in a few days time.

The Meteors were used to intercept V1 rockets. The British did not want to send them across the channel because they did not want to risk losing one to the enemy, so they were used as "homeland Defence" interceptors. They did eventually end up on main land Europe right at the very end of the war.
