Some stats for version .44 patch1

=========================================
The AH Spit is a F.IX with a Merlin 61
=========================================

I don't believe the F ever had a merlin 66 (i could be wrong)

Does this make the climb too good for our current spit?

Incedently does anyone know how the LF and HF compared to the F in performance (climb,speed etc?)

F.IX = Merlin 61
LF.IX = Merlin 66
HF.IX = Merlin 70

F.IX time to 28k/32k = 10'20"/13'15" (AH Spit to 32k in 10'30")
LF.IX time to 30k = 8.4 min.
HF.IX time to 30k = 8.05 min.

F.IX top speed = 409mph(28000ft) (AH Spit = 425mph at 28k)
LF.IX top speed = 407mph(22000ft)
HF.IX top speed = 415mph(28000ft)

according to: http://www.fourthfightergroup.com/eagles/spittest.html

Soooo, the current AH Spitfire is too good for a F, or not good enough for a LF/HF. But it's faster than a Mk XI(unarmed photorecon Spitfire).

Juzz wasn't there also a Spit IX that had the Merlin 60 ?

I did a little climing test WITH War Emergency Power for the Spit and 109.
Climbing speed was set to 130 for both and they used it.
Climb was set on the moment speed reached 130.

For the 109 trim didn't suffice above 12K and I climbed the rest of the way by hand. Speed climbed to about 150 in this period. Both may have hurt the climb a bit as it is hard to keep a perfectly gentle climb. WEP lasted for the duration of the test and in total of 10:08.

Spitfire's WEP ended after 5:03 and rest of the climb was done at military power.

SPITFIRE IX
5K  1:16
10K 2:33  5-10 1:16
15K 3:52 10-15 1:29
20K 5:27 15-20 1:35
25K 7:26 20-25 1:59
WEP: 5 min

109G-10
5K  1:05
10K 2:16  5-10 1:11
15K 3:32 10-15 1:16
20K 4:55 15-20 1:23
25K 6:49 20-25 1:54
WEP: 10 min

Seems the spits WEP doesn't help much, as the results is hardly better than Sorrow's.

The 109's have more kick though and last longer too, but with a terrible torque.
It takes about 10 mins at gentle throttle to cool down to normal temperature again.

Lets just pretend that we're all just pilots and Pyro is the field engineer.  He makes the tweaks and we fly what he does for our planes.  I mean as long as it resembles some characteristics of the actual planes performance of course.

As for the guys that do the stats from version to version, they're just the intelligence department. We use their data to combat enemy planes.

Wouldn't it be great?...we wouldn't have these discussions over and over  ...

But then again, what would we have to talk about!?  

Ex.

I totaly agree with Extreme on this..

HT is doing the FM by real data. Starting with a general FM across the board for all planes then working on individual FMs as AH progresses.This also allows them to work on other aspects of AH,instead of only working on one aspect..

Ive not whined or squeaked about anything in AH at this point.As they have the Data for each plane i dont need to tell them that the FM may not be correct,they allready know.

We are here at this point in time to find bugs in the program.Not point out FM problems.

Ill give AH at least one year before i start picking plane FMs apart.And that year starts after we go PAY  

In the mean time,lets work on finding any remaining bugs

Exactly, I have done these tests every revision to find out what i am fighting against. I posted them merely as statistical information to allow people to understand how the planes acted this version. I think people that posted here understand that clearly, note how the LW division pointed out the spit was accurate and the 109 merely was not yet.

I was holding off before posting the American iron and B&Z planes stats but may post them tonight.
