Pre war fighter speed requirement of 520 knots?? :huh

520 knots is 598mph.

The real requirement was 500 kilometers per hour.

oops 520 KPH

I would rather have the IAR 80 than the D.520.

The IAR might actually be decent in MW and LW, and undoubtably had more impact on the war.

The IAR 80 had virtually no impact on the war.  Honestly, the D.520 really didn't have much of one either on any theater it served in but those issues weren't because of the plane.

Not saying the IAR had a lot, but it still had more than the D.520, being Romania's main frontline fighter untill July of '44 and all.

The contributions of the IAR 80/IAR 81 to the war was just as minor, it not more so than the D.520.  It may have been Romania's main fighter type before being pulled from service, it doesn't change the IAR 80/81 didn't contribute anything to the air war at all.  The reason is because Romania was such a minor player.  Even in the defense of it's own skies it was a minor player, with Germany providing the bulk of Romania's air defenses.

Then start a thread this is for the D.520
The D.520 served multiple countries during the war. Period

Didn't the D.520 have a rather positive K/D ratio against the Bf109?

Yes, but IIRC, it was also given to the best units first, so it might nor might not mean anything.

That is irrelevant to my sorta point.  If the D.520 did have the better K/D ratio in that contest then the painting is correct with the Bf109 receiving the fire, contrary to Raphael's comment.  :p
