Suggestion: Add Horten Ho 229 to German aviation tech tree

Suggestions Vehicles

I know there is an archived thread proposing to add the Horten Ho 229:
Ho 229 V3
The archived topic is locked, so I cannot reply there. I make this new thread to support the original idea and provide further details.

Availability

I recommend adding it as an event or premium vehicle, which fits the setting for late experimental jets in Enlisted.

Gameplay Purpose & Role

This flying-wing jet fills the blank of German late jet strike aircraft. It can be the German equivalent of the American F-80 Shooting Star, working as a balanced multirole jet for bombing tasks.

The aircraft should partially follow the historical “Three 1000” design requirement.
Two optional bomb loadouts are proposed for history and balance:

1. 1 × 500 kg bomb
2. 2 × 500 kg bombs

Reference source: Wikimedia Commons historical files of the Horten Ho 229 and the “Three 1000” project.
Thank you for your consideration.

Germany truly lacks such an aircraft. The Me‑262 is hard to use in dogfights. :weary:

The current Me 262 cannot cope with being swarmed by British Meteors and American F‑80 Shooting Stars. The Luftwaffe urgently needs a more maneuverable aircraft to counter these two Allied planes.

I think the British Meteor belongs in BR 6

Why should the Meteor be at 6BR? It’s not overpowered it carries two 500lb bombs, which is only about ~227 kg.
