The reason the Allies strived hit the German jets in their landing pattern was because that that was their best chance of hitting them in a prop job; this eventually became near-suicidal once the Germans got wise to it and 'flakked up' the approach corridors and introduced fighter cover.Had the air war been more even '44 and '45 and maybe continued into '46, I've started to toy with the idea of making a USAAF and a RAF "Protection Squadron" for their own jets....keeping them safe at take off and landing from marauding Luftwaffe fighters...
Now, which crates would suit best for this, first the obvious choices for USAAF is the P-51D and the P-47M, question is though, would they be good enough to do the same job as the Dora-9, is there a better choice?
I'm not so sure about the RAF fighters though...Typhoon, Tempest, Spitfire Mk XII (type 366)...??
It'll be the same idea as with JV44, a separate unit within the unit
