 Looking for some good AH info on the F6. Oh... are there any good site out there with info on the planes and how they fly in AH... ie best turn speeds, flap settings etc?

Of course, I only see what he posts here and what he does in the MA.  I know virtually nothing about the man.  I think its important for people to realize that we don't really know squat about each other.... definately not enough to use words like "hate".

Did you know that the Hellcat was the 2nd largest fighter of WW2?  SLightly smaller than that of the P47.

Largest in what sense? Weight, wingspan, length or what? One could think that P-38 or Bf 110 for example has more everything!

Good question, ask the publisher of the article...I would imagine they were speaking in terms of the fuselage diameter and area.

 Thats a great link, thanks! Are there any links that deal with the planes in AH... ie like you could find in aw3/warbirds. They'd give you an idea of how the planes stacked up vrs other planes etc...?

Single engine, single seat fighter. It comes within inchs of the P-47's dimensions in span, length, and height.

Only problem is... The F6 has characteristics in AH that are the opposite to what it reportedly had in reality (Stall)

The F6F was supposedly docile and stable in RL, in AH its not.

The N1K2 was supposedly viscius to fly in RL, killing many new pilots on their first flight, in AH its not.

Fix them both!
