Dear HTC staff, Vermillon and AH comunauty,
I stoped crying for my P47 and I followed your advise. I did some test to compare numbers between the books I found at the library, HTC charts and flight test at 100% fuel.
I found something that maybe be abnormal. While doing a 5000 feet level test I had a TAS of 345 MPH. When I kicked the Wep on till Wep exausted I gained 5 MPH only (350 TAS). I don't know if it's normal but I noticed that the F4 is gaining more than 20 MPH when the Wep is on at 5,000 feet.
Maybe my feeling about the P47 being "ashmatic" comes from the fact that using the Wep doesn't change the performances as significantly as other airplanes. I'de like to have your point of view on this, is it something normal for the P47-D30 or could it be a sneacky HTC code error?
As far as the tests comparing the data I found at the library (jane's whatever WW2 planes and Military Aircrafts), HTC P47-D30 speed charts and my flight tests, here is what I got:
Test at 30,000 feet:
book 428 MPH
HTC Chart 418 (Wep off) -- 430 (Wep on)
flight 405 (Wep off) -- 418 (Wep on)
Test at 5,000 feet:
book 363 MPH
HTC Chart 346 (Wep Off) -- 360 (Wep on)
flight 345 (Wep off) -- 350 (Wep on)
Looks like that at 30K the P47D-30 is slower than HTC chart and the chart matches my book data "Wep on".
At 5K, HTC chart is matching my book data when "Wep on", but the test flight again is about 10 MPH short with "Wep on".
Vermillon, HTC and AH comunauty, I would be more than happy to share any data and comments
(I did tests in flight comparing speeds I got from those books for Spit9 at 20K, 30K and they matched great, nothing to say there). Starting to put my nose in 'theroritical numbers', I'm impressed with HTC good job... soooooo big salute, I've no idea how they do it, but they do it
Be safe all, help my Radial Baby
