perking is not about performance.

perking is about balance.

xHaMmeRx, a vertical zoom is not equal to substained climb rate.
Hortlund, the best E fighter is by far the SpitIX, it lives forever into corner speed range. A fast plane doesn't mean good E fighter plane.

BTW, D-9 is not the most popular 190 among the JGs. From what I have seen, the real workhorse is the A-8.

This can be attributed to a certain difference in style while flying the A-8, as well as to 2 extra cannons.

Ability to deliver more lethal highspeed snapshots counts more than ability to turn back and having to do it all again, no matter how easier it is.

Correct. And, as I pointed out, below about 8k the D9 has a better ROC and zooms better than the Spit

Leave the stupid plane perked, otherwise we'll have 5000 spits at 30k along with the 5000 spits on the deck at any given moment. Not that spits are a bad thing, just too many of the annoying little nats running around all the time.

xHammerx, if, by saying "ROC" mean Rate of climb, and thus mean that the D9 has better ROC then the spit 14 you have either not flown any of the planes OR been smoking something REALLY good

Really, teh Dora climb with less then 400 feet per minute at the deck, the Spit 14 climbs with OVER 5000.

I was referring to the Spit9, per the post Mandoble was referring to. In reference to your reference, however, I will refer to my references

Lots of references there

My appologise, the Dora does climb better, atleast at low alt, spit will gain advantage up high though.
