P-63 Performance
« on: March 13, 2012, 11:33:57 PM »
Considering that the P-63A was really a mid-war fighter (1943), it would offer fearsome low to medium altitude performance that would be great fun in Aces High... Check out this chart. The La-7 will have met its match. 384 mph at sea level with water injection.... Add to that a 5,000 fpm climb rate at sea level, 4,750 fpm at 5k... With a lower wing loading than the P-39Q, it should turn well too.

+1 though I think we'll read comments about too many US birds.

I was at a museum in California and took a couple picks of this bird. I'll find them and post it. Seemed small, big gun in the front.

Here's a chart for the P-39Q-30, and our P-39Q doesn't come close to the 410 mph at 10k as illustrated on this chart...

Here's a chart for the P-39Q-25. A bit slower than the -30, but still much faster than the Aces High version... Hey HiTech, how about an upgrade based upon this data? Current performance is correct for the P-39Q-5, by the way....

Wait...
those charts say, the P39 Q-25 was drastically different from the AH version, like 25-30mph faster (!)
Im not a fan of this bird, but if it would be faster, it might be more popular in the MA, bringing some variety to the spit16/la7/ponyD world.
So i think it would be a good idea to change it from the Q-5 to the Q25/30, as we already have an early war, much slower P39, the D model.

A perked plane for sure. But then Axis need either a G.55 or a Do-335 or even a He-162. A guy can dream can't he? :)

Why?  If the P-63 were added the Axis would not need anything.  The P-63 would be balanced by the P-63 on the other side.

G.55 isn't overwhelming in any situation except firepower, with 3x 20mm MG151's and a pair of breta 50 cals.

Otherwise its simply a decent mid/late war ride that's not special in any sense.

Yes but the G.55 is so sexy, which is more than you can say for any p-39/63.

Americans didn't fly this one. Not to combat that is.
It is a Russian plane made in America.

That has nothing to do with stating that if x side gets a plane then y side will need one too.

______________

Personally I don't want to see the P-63 because, if the numbers are accurate, it will simply be another plane that people run away in.
