 Well that new A6M5b added to the game seems to fly like a P-51. I tested it in dives and it will do 560mph and survive the pull out. It will turn like a Spitfire at over 350mph. What even happen to compression and control lock up on the Zeros? Maybe it is a bug with that model Zeke? Test it yourself or go the the DA and record people flying the A6M5b and look at the speeds. This is not a troll just an observation and a bit of a question about that last Zero added. Two of the performance charts I looked at was Aircraft of WWII and  Jane's Aircraft of the World and they both have this plane a 351mph and 425mph top dive speed but I did see higher dive speeds in other source material but none over 500mph like our new Zeke.

The A6M5b was added in 2000.  Do you mean the A6M3?  It certainly suffers heavy controls at speed and the bug it had with being too fast at altitude was fixed.

Huh...say what.

Sorry bud, I fly the Zekes quite a bit and I can't see what your talking about. Although the Zeke 5 will get to 450mph or so in a dive....it's a straight line dive as you can barely turn or roll the plane at that speed. Heck at 325mph it's hard to shake and bake in the Zeke. I dont see or feel a problem in my favorite bird.

Ever since you whipped my arse in a Ki-61 long ago in a snapshot (year ago I think?) I made it one of my fondest birds to fly in snapshots/scenarios. Kinda wish we had more versions of the Ki-61 to play with, earlier models were much lighter but the gun package was horrid.

You and me both brother. Here's to hoping HTC will not forget about our beloved Hien  :cheers:

I would love to have an updated Tei, the Ostu with the Hei gun pack as an option, or the Hei with the Ostu gun pack, and of course the crowd pleaser the Ki-100.   :joystick:

 I got a film of this Zero doing 560+ if I can figure out how to post it. Maybe it is a bug that is why I brought it up. I will have to look again at the plane I used.

I chased a ki67 that maintained near 480mph for an entire sector in a descent from 30k.

I just did a test from 20k in a Ki67, you can max out at 450 in a dive nose down anything more then you lose vital pieces, assuming you can actually hold it at 450mph.

KI67 level flight with 5 minutes to stabilize.

I'm OK with the 328mph at 25,000 feet.




Being able to go 497mph and maintain over 450mph for nearly an entire sector without losing a bunch of parts is a little bit unrealistic.

I tested this from 20k and dove to 480, I lost my Elevators followed by a wing when I hit 490.
