Nice post, Bullethead.

I recently tested most of the faster aircraft for acceleration, climb and speed at various altitudes.

On the deck, the Dora is faster than every non-perked plane except the La-7, and this tested at 375 mph for the Dora, 380 mph for the La-7.

As you go up the both the Dora and the La-7 are overtaken by the 109G-10.

Here's some measured speeds at altitudes for several aircraft:

28.5K
109G-10: 436 mph
P-51D: 433 mph
P-38J: 412 mph
190D-9: 406 mph

25K
109G-10: 443 mph
P-51D: 441 mph
190D-9: 421 mph
P-38J: 420 mph

20K
109G-10: 444 mph
190D-9: 426 mph
P-51D: 425 mph
P-38J: 405 mph

Sea level
La-7: 380 mph
190D-9: 375 mph
P51D: 367 mph
109G-10: 366 mph
P-38J: 343 mph

Acceleration from 200 mph to 300 mph @ 20K (time to speed in seconds).
P-38J: 27.47
109G-10: 29.28
190D-9: 30.78
P-51D: 34.01
La-7: 40.10

Acceleration from 200 mph to 300 mph @ sea level
La-7: 28.78
109G-10: 28.97
190D-9: 30.83
Ki-84: 35.96
P-38J: 36.57
P-51D: 36.93
Yak-9U: 37.40

Time to climb from sea level to 10k, starting @ 300 mph (minutes:seconds)
109G-10: 1:46.18
P-38J: 2:03.57
Ki-84: 2:04.09
190D-9: 2:04.35
La-7: 2:06.91

I fly the Yak 9u a lot,and was interested in the compression issue.As far as I know the Yak 9u didn't enter service till middle or late '44,this aircraft had  a cleaned up airframe similar to the earlier Yak 3,but according to my information was of of all metal stessed skin construction,it also had the more powerful Klimov 107 engine first used on the Yak 3.I don't know if the Yak 3 had compression problems,but it would explain the  9u flight model in aces high.

Just to add,I feel the flight model is very good in general in aces high,compared to some other sims and the staff at htc should be praised for their research and attention to detail.

As for the Yak 9T,I have no information.

I hope this helps.

p.s. the Dora is a fine aeroplane:aok
