Combat trim of A6M5b

[busa]

The Combat Trim of a6m5b carries out unusual operation at over 400 miles/h. Please check it.

Thank you for reading my poor English.

a6m dies at 400.

If your doing over 400 in Zeke you are crashing.

pffffttt, go to offline, add maximum wind and take off and go with the wind. dive a little bit and reach 400mph easy. when u hear the creaking and groaning, u better turn off engines and slow down.

This is the problem of Combat Trim.
In manual operation, the control surface operates correctly.

 You should dive at over 400 miles/h by manual operation first
After that, you should use CT, after over 400 miles/h.
It turns out that Combat Trim has a problem.

A6m5 cannot go any faster, any faster you start loosing plane parts.

Sure it can.  I killed a Spitfire MK IX in it while doing 420mph.  Granted I got very lucky as my pullout was very slow and I just happened to traverse over the Spit and nail him with my guns, but I was at 420mph and lost nothing.

Incidentally the speed limit of A6m5b is 460 miles/h.
Pull up is possible even from this speed.

By the way, in A6M2, Combat Trim operates normally.
And Combat Trim of A6M5 was also operating normally, before Combat Trim was changed.


A6 is not tough.
But many pilots have said as follows.
We were doing violation of a speed limit.
Because, usually, even if A6 exceeded the speed limit, it did not break.


And I want to submit the proof for which the effect of the elevator of A6 is insufficient.

The report of Flight Test Group/Ykosuka FG/Naval Aviation Technology Center is described below.

Effectiveness of the elevator of A6M.

The test about aileron breakage by A6M3.
The aileron hinge was damaged in the midst of ACM by A6M3 of ZuikakuFG.

For the reason, the experiment was conducted by Flight Test Group/Yokosuka FG /Naval Aviation Technology Center in 1943.
The contents of an experiment  - Pull up with maximum G.
The experiment method  -Pull up at@vertical@dive.
First day.
First time 7.3G.
Second time 7.5G.
Second day.
First time 300kt, 8.2G.
Second time 320kt, 8.6G

In AH, this can not duplicate.

Thank you for reading my poor English.

How hard would this be to fix?

Busa has done the research.
