I think the TBM has been found capable of speeds over 600 kts in level flight on some maps.  It's my belief that it's been disabled on maps where it can do that.

ok i wont give you any BS like these guys

the TBM was found to do some very good cruise times up near space i think it was around 30k or higher it was able of like over 400mph so skuzzy pulled it and its going to be replaced by the AH2 TBM

so we must wait till AH2 till you well see it in the main sky's

i like TORP runs and its hard having to use a B5N2!
known as Arctic in the main

well once you get up to 27k in goon it out performs 163 :)  once i got to 27k in it and kept it in auto climb then at about 50k i accidently ripped wings.  I have a film of me doing 914 mph before i hit the deck :)

I miss the TBM, whish they'd take a few minutes to fix it rather than making everyone wait till AH2 which will be out in what, 'two weeks'.

And anyway, who actually flies the TBM at 30k+???  It's a torpedoe bomber.

Ever see the damage model a WW2 era torpedo makes hitting the deck of a CV from a 30k 400knot TBM? It's like a g-damn cruise missile from up there!
