Erm... so it outperforms the spit in every way...

Except it can't turn nearly as well..

Except it can't climb nearly as well...

Except it doesn't accelerate as well...

Except it can't handle nearly as well in a dogfight...

???


Might want to rethink your statement there.
I like it any plane is a good addition.

Not discounting the plane, just his self-contradicting statement.

Yeah, outperforming except for turn, climb, and acceleration... isn't outperforming.

I think some people have a knee-jerk reaction to seeing "Krusty" as the poster. He brought up a valid point.

Speed doesn't matter?

Durability doesn't matter?

Roll doesn't matter?

High speed handling doesn't matter?

Range doesn't matter?

Ammo endurance doesn't matter?


As to turning, I am unsure about that, the P-47M might out turn the Spitfire Mk XIV.

Karnak, we're just saying that when you say "outperforms except..." and follow up with 3 of the most important traits for a fighter, well, that's a pretty big "except."

Fwiw, I agree that the XIV being perked is silly.

Two traits, not three, and the most important is speed.

The P-47M out performs the Spitfire Mk XIV in all categories other than climb/acceleration and, probably, turning, yet the P-47M is ENY 10 and the Spitfire Mk XIV is ENY 5 and perked.

Climb and Acceleration are two separate traits.

No, they are the same trait.  They are linked exactly.  Climb is acceleration used for vertical movement.

Never seen so many comments related to spit 16/14 bashing in a while.

Thrust:Drag has a significant effect on acceleration.  Witness the La-7 and Tempest both out-accelerating the 109K-4, but neither climbs as well.  Therefore, it's a little misleading to say climb and acceleration are only a single category.

Wrong. Climb also has a high element of lift incorporated into it. You think you could "accelerate" up with 1/4 the wing area you normally have, for example? And drag is a big element as well, 190s have good acceleration but poor climb rates because they are draggy airframes with small wings.
