lol Yea Toad, some do ask for it and other inappropriate planes I see.

Anyway I hope HTC will ignore such requests and stick to non-fantasy WW2 subjects.

Effdub, you are confusing the terms "in service" and "saw combat" not I.

Grun, I"m still looking for whether the 51 and 47 max speed were with "wep" or 100% mil power. All referencs to the DO-335 say 417 maximum with 470mph bursts reachable with the boost. All refs to the P-47m and P-51H just say "maximum"

"The torque from the two engines being boosted to drive the planes from 417 to 477 would be something else I'd imagine."

Yeah, there is none - counter-rotating props silly.

Effbud, the speeds for the P51H and P47M are WITH WEP.

Effdub, what you say about the factory being overrun and all that, is 100% correct, however, before the factory was overrun there had been about 40 DO335's, different version delivired. These saw service and flew, but never saw action.

The P51H saw action during the war in the Pacific against obsolete Japanese surveliance planes and such.

Hmm, maybe we need to have just a MK 103 introduced, instead of the whole Do 335

Westy MOL · « **Reply #20 on:** August 15, 2001, 10:39:00 AM »

I'd have to go with speeds are with WEP for the P-47M and P-51H as I cannot find any references to whether it was or not (online references).

"The P-51H was too late to see action in the war in Europe. By the late summer of 1945, some P-51Hs had been issued to a few operational units. These units were in the process of working up to operational status when the war in the Pacific ended with the Japanese surrender. None had the opportunity to see any combat."

Wilbus, I guess they didn't count the "obsolete Japanese surveliance planes and such".

Westy, yup, I guess I was hoping u'd dig up some (or many, as you put it) operational planes that were faster than the D0 335. The fact that your list "only" includes "P-47M, the P-51H and the Spit XXI" could mean two things:

a) there aren't any others or
b) you are as lazy as I to look 'em up

all in good fun

SpitXXI is not faster or even nearly as fast as the Do335. Not even the postwar Mk22 or 24 are that fast.

one down, two to go

"b) you are as lazy as I to look 'em up

"

It comes in spurts. Some days I have more time than others. Haven't had any real "research" time since. And I have to rely mostly on the web when I do.
