+1 but for those who are looking for easier alternatives than printing a textbook...

1. Smart phone/tablet.
2. Add AH to your Steam library, use Steam overlay.
3. Memorize.   :D

  the game is concentrated on combat, not on shaking the screen.

It would also be helpful if you know all the variables.  but those arent posted on the spec tables.  I nailed a really good p38 and zeke pilot on the same flight, not because I knew their plane's specs but because I knew mine and I little prayer didnt hurt either.

when in middle of furball/combat if you have time to look at specs you arent playing the game but watching a movie while cruising in your airplane

you dont want me to ho, dont point your plane at me.

"memorize" is the one option of ones listed above that I understand how to use.  I don't even know what a "steam library" or "steam overlay" is  :headscratch:  :lol

I don't have a problem with info being available while inflight...not real sure how much help it would be for that flight but it would give you something to do grabbing out for a strat run or something I guess.  I might even get some AFK or NPA (not paying attention) kills out of it too...BONUS!  :rofl

I think the GV ones would be used more to figure out where a particular vehicle's 'sweet spot' would be.  :devil

It's readily available in the hanger, why not in flight?

Because the plane list is only available in the hanger.

Anyway +1.  I've asked for this before and was just thinking about it again the other night.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

If I want that info I crank up my laptop and pull up the plane performance comparisons the the AH webpage.  As I gain more time/experience I'll have less need for the info.
