Uhm, is this a typo?

Quote

Mk IV

7135 hp Rolls-Royce Griffon IIB (experimental prototype version only) later modified to prototypes Mk XII and Mk XX

The site also lists the Mk V with a top speed higher than a Mk XIV.

I figured it was a hybrid due to the fact there is no mirror and upper antenna modeled on the IX in the game. And probably is a typo..has to be..lol..

I'll have to go to the Supermarine Fire.org site for better info. Still think the torque is opposite of the Merlin engines characteristics from what Jeff Ethell said. Anywho.

Didnt I hear stories abound rookies in P51-Ds that fliped over using full power on taKEOFF from the tourqe?

That, always made me wonder. I've also heard stories like that, but none of them were second-hand or first-hand sources. Always, somebody quotes that from long distant sources which they also don't know about.

So, is that really true? When someone engages full throttle directly after turning the engine on, will the torque just flip the plane over?

Somehow, considering the weight of the plane, I don't think torque force, even with 2000hp engines, is itself enough to flip a plane standing still with three gears instantly.

From what I imagine, I gather that it is the following results of a full-throttle take-off run that causes the plane to fall under the danger of ground-looping, and that, is what causes the planes to 'flip' - as in the case of the Beta5 Spit9(although, this was due to a bug).

Can anyone comment on this?

I've heard of plane flipping-over only when landing .
They flipped-over when the pilot firewalled the throttle aborting the landing.

I don't know of any occurence at take off.

Concidering that when flipped over the plane end on her back, because I've heard of plane getting damaged at take off but none ended "flipped-over"

Well, it's like this. There actually was NO AIRWAR in WW2.

You see, they never could get any 19-20 year olds fully trained. No nation had any success at this. Oh, things went well through the Primary Trainers. They lost bunches moving up into Advanced Trainers. But then..... DISASTER.

Every single recruit died while trying to check out in front-line aircraft. It was just too difficult for mortal men to do.

All those films of aircraft in WW2 are faked. The whole idea never got off the ground.
