whoa is that for real Widewing?

If that's true then Tempest's acceleration should be almost equal to P-47.

You can read the comparison report here.

There's a few things in it that strike me as unusual. Nonetheless, the writer has solid credentials.

My regards,

Was the tempest using full power + WEP during the evaluation? I still can't believe they rate Temp's acceleration with P47s.

It was a big draggy airframe, keep that in mind. It had a huge frontal radiator. It wouldn't just knife through the air, especially with its weight and inertia to overcome.

not the tempest II, it is slick & beautiful...didn't a Sea Fury win at Reno last September?
