But by then the bombers will have time to open fire on you, you may well destroy 3 bombers but that would be it...

The Meteor was a neat aircraft but I wonder if It would have had much of a advantage over the Me-262. I dont know much about the Meteor but it is hard to believe of anything at that time that could out perform a "Schwalbe".

well you have to remeber that we're discussing what would happen if the war went on longer, if it had, the Mk.VIII would broberly have entered service allot quicker, and that would eat the speed of the -262 for breakfast, the -262 wasn't the most manouverable of aircraft however the meteor's encounters with "buzzbombs" proved they were suprisingly agile, it's hard to call a winner though................

But remember, it wouldnt only be the Meteor that developed, it would have been the 262 as well. And because the 262 was ahead initially I can only assume that it would stay ahead.

ah but believe the Me-262's development was slowing down considderably, wheras the meteor's development was speeding up,

CC, the -A8's were considerably armored on the leading wing edges, the engine, windscreen, fuel tanks and pilot protection..... As I have said before, crewmen would see their .50 cal bullets BOUNCE off the Fw-190A-8's.... And besides, its not like the -190 was slow or something.....

it was also very good looking, much beter than, say, a Fw-109D.............

At the same time if the war had continued longer, many more german jet fighters and intercepters would have entered service that would have outclassed anything such as the Gotha H0-229.
