Wondering if anyone has true deck speeds for some of our upcoming perk planes. Speed at sea level is not always given under specs in many books. I think deck speed is the #1 most important ingredient in AH combat where most fights take place down low.

Tempest 392 mph
F4u4 380 mph
La7 380mph
Spit14 363 mph
Ta152h 357 mph
P47m 369 mph
F2G 399 mph, yum yum yum
P51h ???
Ki84 ???
F8F ???

Any others?

I would assume these to be the first perk planes to be added. No I am not advocating that the F2G will be added, just hoping and putting it in there for perspective.

Bah fast deck speed is only useful if you're running away like a scared little sissy allied baby.

Real Men(tm) fly things that cannot run very well and not turn at all.

I'm a Real Man(tm) until I get over this bad bout of testosterone poisoning I have.
