Discution aboout 190s with 4-6 20mm

That's a big enough margin to make the difference between outrunning a horde of XVIs or getting ganged to death.

Not if HTC made the Mk XVI a true late war spit.. you know 25lbs boost. The XVI is neutered otherwise you and BnZs would whine even more.

Bronk,
The next time you have a "thought"...why don't you just let it go? Seriously.

There was no "whining", just pointing out that an A5 that clocked in at more correct speeds would be a lot more competitive.

So, just out of curiousity, where does this supposed 12mph missing number come from?

EDIT: The speed performance of the 190 A-5 in AHII looks suspiciously similar to figures for the 190 A-3.

Actually, from discussions waaaaay back (early 2000's) folks came to the conclussion our A-5 is modeled after a G-3. The G-3 was "ballasted" to A-5 specs, but some folks say the climb speed, angle, or something climb-related is way off.

May explain a few things, may not.

Yah I know we had this discussion a while back when tunisia event was on, I flew the A5 for a whole tour and those 12mph would have helped

Bah! 190's suck! Dont handle worth a damn and cant kill jack.
I'd stay away from any of the 190 variants

A 360mph ias Spit XVI would get perked so fast it would make your head spin.

Really, we'd need an A-3/A-4 for Early.
