Why do you note that they were slower and climbed slowly, yet assume the combat altitudes will be the same as the WWII arenas and that the bases will be as far apart? That is silly and it grossly underestimates the ability of others to think.
Nope! I'm guess in that we see so few maps in the WW-ll sim that nobody is going to bother making new ones for a few WW-l planes.
10,000' was not the combat altitudes of WW-ll. Mostly it was fought higher. Even in WW-l there was a race to build better and better performing airplanes in the 10,000' to 16,000' altitude range. 10,000' is an entirely realistic altitude for a WW-l fighter sweep. Even then altitude= energy and energy= life. Service ceilings of WW-l aircraft were generally in the 20,000' range. Think there wont be cherry pickers in a WW-l flight sim?
The ultimate expression of air power in the war, the Fokker DVII , was dominating largely because of its high alt performance, roll rates, and dive characteristics.
