*the speeds talked about are flown with MIL power.
Originally posted by Bronk AHT chart list it as mil or combat power.Wmaker, you stated it did about 375 on mil power. Thats corresponds to the chart in AHT. Since the climb is also listed as combat power.How much speed and climb does War emergency add. I do agree that 4000 is a bit optimistic.But 3250 fpm on mil is respectable.
Originally posted by Wmaker Wep=Combat powerIt climbed 3250fpm on Wep.Like Fracis Dean states in AHT 375mph may be a bit optimistic with 1125hp. There is no mention about the WEP speed in AHT.
Originally posted by Bronk Rgr on the climb I read it wrong.This From AHTAt approximately 12000 ft it's pretty much maxed out at about 375 mph, and that we know is mil. If wep adds about 10 mph like most other ac in game that would bring it up to about 385.No?
Originally posted by Wmaker One more thing, then I'm off to bed. Considering the fairly low altitude where P-39 achieves its top speed the 375mph claim with MIL is really starting to sound weird. Actually at that altitude 385mph is pretty damned fast even with ~1400hp. The air is quite a bit thicker at 12000ft compared to the altitudes where the WETO birds achieved their top speeds. We have to look into it a bit further.
