Handling 262s

Is it me or does the muppets derail every thread 

It"s you. But, we do get a set of free steak knives for every 10th derailed thread.

I miss the muppet threads, makes me all warm and fuzzy inside.

Actually this is not correct at all. Above 250-300 mph has highest acceleration in the game (besides 163).

It is actually the huge difference between jet and prop planes. Propeller becomes ineffective at high speeds loosing significantly its thrust, while jet actually becomes more effective (due to higher inlet pressure).

Early jets had very long takeoff runs due to low thrust but the fact that the thrust preserved at very high range of speeds made them significantly faster.

It doesn't accelerate to fast enough to out run a fighter that is at 500 mph dive within Icon range.
