So other than the Mig 15 and Delta wings what else did the allies come up with during the war in terms of jet aircraft? The Gloucester Meteor... thats about it really

Well, there was the P-80, it actually flew a few combat missions in europe...at least the YP-80A did...Linka.

And there were lots of whacky allied proposals as well:

Just out of interest does anyone know the answer to my questions on aircraft design in-game. I need to know where to put the new icons and how to convert speeds etc for them.

Well, you put them into any SHP file that is single icon slot, e.g. the same SHPs that you use for non turreted vehicles.

As for speed:

Fighter-bomber and level bomber Aircraft Speed: 1 pt of Speed for every 100 km/h (round up past 50)

Helicopter speed: 1/3 of actual maximum speed in km/h

Recreate Commando 3118 "Time Trap" in which a pair of Chieftains get sent back in time to the Battle of the BUlge in 1944!

Reminds me of the movie "Final Countdown" where the USS Nimitz winds up at near Pearl Harbor on Dec 6, 1941.

Ya know, I think the Nimitz could destroy the entire Japanese navy all by it self *chuckles*

Oh... right, I get it now. That would be interesting. I bet you not one Chieftain would evenhave it's paint scratched, well maybe it would get scratched but not much else.

It would be nasty for any germans running into them but they would hardly be invincible. The the side hull and the rear should be vulnerable to several high end german weapons. Besides there would not be any ammo and spare parts for them in 1944 and they would need them soon. They would not be able to do much more than the B1 bis at Stonne or those KVs during Barbarossa.
The Nimitz in 1941 on the other hand would probably be able to win the war in the Pacific by itself. With its conventional weapons arsenal and historical knowledge it could have wiped out the bulk of the japanese fleet without breaking a sweat and if it carried nukes onboard Japan was in a world of hurt. All of this before spares shortages would have become an issue. Submarines would have been pretty much the only thing capable of touching it and the odds would be against them.
