Best Jet of WW2?

[the lancaster kicks ass]

I don't know how many the Meteor got but I've heard the Tempest actually scored the most kills against V-1s. Between the first V-1 launch of June 13, 1944 and Sept. 1st, the Tempest had destroyed 638.

that's because it was around the longest, it was the first plane to catch them................

and they figured out in the war that only one in seven V-1s actually got throught to london because of flak and aitcraft cover...............

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

ohhh, the meteor's over taken the blitz bomber.................

 

[cheddar cheese]

dont know why, it wasnt better.

 

[Lightning Guy]

Well, the thing the Meteor was best at was shooting down V-1s and it wasn't even the best plane in the war at doing that so it can't possibly be the best jet.

 

[plan_D]

I agree with LG. The Me-262 was better...and I will build a repilca of both the Me-262 and Meteor...and then destroy the Meteor with the Schwalbe...

 

[cheddar cheese]

sounds like fun

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

well here's the ultimate insult, i can't even be bothered to paint my model 262, but my meteor looks great, so there....................

 

[cheddar cheese]

the 262 doesnt need painting - it looks superb anyway.

 

[plan_D]

That's true, the Schwalbe looks good painted or not. So you lose.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

actually i don't......

you see the meteor model cost more than the 262 model, because the meteor's better, not because they're made by differant copmanies

 

[Erich]

be serious Lanc can you please come up with interesting ideas as to why the Meteor in your estimation is better than the Me 262 please ?

odd that you find such pleasure in a small a/c that flew no ops other than the simple V-1 downings.

you must note that it's a brittish aircraft, that may explain quite a bit..............

 

[cheddar cheese]

just because its british lanc, doesnt mean its good. if theres one thing that really annoys me, its patriotism.

 

[plan_D]

Patriotism shouldn't annoy you C.C. Lying because of Patriotism, should. The B-25 Roc was British, is that good, Lanc?

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

most cirtainly not, i don't believe ever saying it was.....................

 

[Stuka-99]

262 totally

 

[cheddar cheese]

yup, theres no competition for the 262.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

exept the meteor.............

 

[Erich]

you still have not come up with any refernces as to why the Meteor is superior because you cannot............... There aren't any !

I just saw something very interesting on television. It was a special on the Me 262 and they had an interview with a British intelligence officer who had a chance to examine it after the war. He said it was frightening how far the Germans were ahead of them in some respects. Among the techonologies he mentioned were engines. I thought everyone would find that interesting.
