Aircraft speed chart

[wells]

I made a chart for v0.39 planes
 http://www.iaw.com/~general6/ahchart.htm

[niklas]

can you give me some more information to your chart? Which type of weapons did you choose for each plane? How much fuel? Did you use wep?

thx

I took 100% fuel, no WEP was used.  Weapons were the default load.

Thanks Wells

Been meaning to do that, but been too busy

wow, both the 190A-8 and Mc 205 seem to pale in comparison to the real things...

[Fishu]

With 109G10 same thing than 190/c205.. allies conspiracy?

[wells]

The 109's not too bad, but the 190 is really sad.  I think the George is outta place too, should be a 400 mph fighter at 20k.  It's starting to look like some kind of conspiracy!

God forbid the American and Brit ac aren't the best...

  again the conspiracy strikes!

I was looking up some data on the C.205V last night and evidently, the italian version of the DB605 was a copy of an midwar version, and produced around 1475 hp. Which is of course alot less than the DB605 in the G10 is putting out. (At least according to this one source).

I do agree with Wells though that the N1K2 is downright pitiful. But more about that later today, with some solid numbers to back it up.

the G-10 has MW50 and/or GM-1 to boost it's power.  I dunno if the Italians had the same systems for their engine?

Vermillion,

The license built engine of the "Veltro" was the DB605A-1, the same of the Bf109G-2, with 1475hp at take-off. Not sure about GM-1 injection, some A-1 had it some had not.

Whats difficult to judge is the effect of the C.205 fuselage and wing. The C.202 "Folgore", for example (with the same fuselage and wings of the C.205), had almost the same DB601A of the 109E but was way faster (about 370mph at 20K) and climbed to 20K in less than 6 minutes, much better than the Emil.

Can we do the same thing with the 205/G2 comparison? I'd like to ...   Lets wait for the FM tune.

[Vermillion]

Ok Gatt don't get me wrong  

I was just suprised when I found that 1475 hp rating, figuring it was much higher like the DB605 thats in the later model 109's. Actually it makes more sense given the period of the war.

Was just sharing some information I had, not trying to infer anything from it.

You all forgot that there is everyone's favourite plane, and it is OK.

Stalls are docile and at lowest speed, it is the fastest, it climbs with the best of them, with 25% fuel it goes long way and does TnB quite nice. It's guns shred B 17 in one pass, its pilots are so confident they go HO against 190, they even fire from d12.

Guessed already ? No ? Hint: it has blue nose.

I have always read that the Mc 205 was a 400mph+ machine, oh well
