All testing was done with planes loaded with 100% fuel, using 100% power and climbspeed 160mph. I used the cockpit clock for timekeeping(.time 12 00 60)
Plane(guns) = time
----------------------------------
Bf109G-10(2x13mm,20mm) = 5'40" (4'50")*(3'57")## <-yikes!
La-5FN = 6'10"
Spitfire MkIX(2x20m,2x.50) = 6'30" (5'45")*
C.205(2x12.7mm,2x20mm) = 7'25"
N1K2-J = 7'30"
P-51D = 8'10" (6'55")**(6'05")#
FW190A-8(2x13mm,4x20mm) = 8'45"
F4U-1D = 9'00" (8'05")**
----------------------------------
* time with 100% fuel and WEP power
** time with 50% fuel and 100% power
# time with 25% fuel and WEP power
## time with no guns, 25% fuel and WEP power - for fun!
