Macchi C.205 0.44 climb rate
« on: January 04, 2000, 01:53:00 PM »

Well, finally the Macchi has got the right initial climb rate: 3,250ft/min that is.
With WEP she gets about 3,700ft/min. I like it. It is historically accurate. Good job =)

A quick test show the Spit with 3,500ft/min (3,900 with WEP) and the 109G with 3,600ft/min (4,000+ with WEP).

Test altitude was about 4-5K for all the three fighters. At 10-15-20K results may vary *a lot*.

0.44 C.205(2x13mm,2x20mm) climb to 23000ft = 7'40". That's still a tad slower compared to your information, IIRC?

Uh, according to my old Omega the 0.44 C.205 (havent tried with 0.441 yet) takes 6'20" to get to 20,000ft (about 6,100mt).

100% fuel, no WEP, 2x20mm, 2x12,7mm, default best climb speed. Her climb rates to 20K range from 3,250 to 2,800ft/min. Average climb rate to 20K is about 3,100ft/min.

We know the real kite took about 7'15" to get to 7,000mt. I tried time to 22,960ft and she takes 7'28" to get there. So far it is enuff for me ....   After all we beta testers are not too demanding and whiners ...

 Very nice climb as I found to my surprise
last night.
 Get a decent head of steam before pulling back and she'll do a 3-4k ROC with speed easily!
