To preface this the Komet is a pure fighter meaning it has only cannons… seems to align with the general opinion on jets.
Its main attraction is it surpassing the meteor in general flight abilities while being limited to only taking out planes and strafing with the rather low amount of 30 mils you get (2x w 130)
Meteor
Komet
Figured id bring up this suggestion even though it would become irrelevant and only be a novelty due to its lack of mounted armament but would be fun nonetheless.
Would be tech tree with the japanese version possibly being a premium or event?

If we see the kommet then we either need to see airfields for it to refuel or have is rearmament point being further away and it should refuel and re arm at these points as well, this is because the kommet isn’t a jet plane it’s a “rocket plane” so it has lower flight time.

Honestly, I think the Comet would have been better than the Unicorn.
Comet, by the way, is very likely to be a disaster for Enlisted (even better than Meteor)
Fortunately, the only flaw is that there are no bombs, so it won’t be able to destroy the tanks… but the infantry seems to be worth killing at 30mm.
I see no reason for this.
You are sacrificing the ability to do your job with the ground targets for surpassing the meteor in flight capabilities… why you should be nerfed on top of already willingly nerfing yourself is beyond me and just shows the general distaste the community has towards jets which i’m aware of when making this post hence the starting statement
However how much better it is maybe giving it something like that wouldn’t be too wild… i just don’t see it necessary to further make it worse when its already a one trick pony.
It’s not a jet, I’m not being a arsehole but the reason it’s so good at dogfighting is because it’s a wasn’t designed to meet the enemy it was a short range rocket propelled plane, it couldn’t travel too far from a airfield because it trades range for great dogfighting ability. If this thing didn’t have any tradeoffs then it’d just be the best plane in the game. Please stop calling it a “jet fighter” 
and no I don’t “hate” jets.
We can argue on semantics all you want but like i said why should you make it worse… i’m aware of its extremely short flight time being 3 minutes… and you think making it go further to resupply aka meaning more time lost is favorable?
Maybe the speed of the aircraft would make up for this but that is just placebo then because it’s not like you’re going further so you can rain down hell on the objective which is why people usually say that for jets.
Once again i dont see a reason to make it worse and that comment about distaste towards jets was a fact because you are putting extra nerfs on it because of its classification (rocket, jet… whatever)
And hell… i’d argue because it’s specialized and not just a pure beast like meteor it deserves to not have those artificial nerfs.
It’s not semantics , it literally plays completely differently than a jet, a pilot must conserve their fuel to take advantage of the kommet, if we let a noob just blast around stupid fast and then travel a short distance to refuel then itd be unstoppable. But if a pilot has to expertly conserve fuel then it adds a element of skill.
I never said to nerf the standard jet planes, they’re resupply point can stay the same for all I care but just the kommet’s resupply point should have this nerf because it’s fundamentally different.
But he’s right about this.
Komet is not Jet.
To be exact, it’s Rocket Plane.
historical accuracy never existed in this game and unfortunately never will, prototypes, projects, Su-9 (1946) in Stalingrad and Rizev
so the best option is nerf Meteor
This issue isn’t about historical accuracy it’s about balancing a very unique plane that should have unique mechanics to match it very odd quirks
So just nerf Meteor and don’t add rocket planes for now…
This is fair… i am quite frankly just blinded by that considering it not having any armament which i have strong feelings for anyways.
With its power this is fair but unlike the meteor it isn’t all in one but a one trick pony… and for that reason i think this isn’t needed but will say that would be a valid way to balance it and digress.

That’s something we can agree on, the Devs need to iron out any current balance issues before introducing more, but I would like to see the kommet because it’s so cool
That’s true , but it’s 1 trick is that it trades of range for performance and if it’s 1 downside isn’t translated into Enlisted then you just get a monster at dogfighting, not a unique concept plane that had major downsides.
