Well it took me a while because it is 8meg and I had to empty allot of stuff of my web storage but I got it in there.
Thanks for the effort, it's much appreciated.
The same is true of this test. Starting at 210IAS sets the US aircraft up in a situation they should never be in, as the A6M5 demostrates in the test. The American aircraft are unable to get out of the A6M5's gun range in anything like a fast enough time.
Agreed, but looking at the report, they ran zoom climbs from a dive, at 310 IAS at 10,000ft and 25,000 ft. That's pretty fast.
And yet under these conditions, stopping the test when 130 IAS is reached (which again penalises the Zeke, which should be able to hang on it's prop better), the P-51 still only opens a 500 ft gap, the P-38 J only 300 feet.
