Wilbus, nothing against Otto but consider several things. For one, its been at least 60 years and memory is not perfect. Especially when you consider that between 1942 and 1945, they probably changed aircraft versions (not to mention different aircraft within the unit) at least every 6-8 months. So who's to remember the exact difference between a A5 in late 1943 or early 1944 and a A8 in early 1944 to late 1944 when its wartime (ie its quiet a hectic time) and your memories are 60 years old. Plus most of these guys were pilots, not engineers or even mechanics. I've talked to many many WWII vets who flew combat, and commonly when I ask a very technical question regarding an aircraft I get a response like "I don't know, I just flew them".
RAM, yes proof as in a technical document issued by either FockeWulf or the Luftwaffe that shows the use of production usage of MW50 in a A5 (or even an A8 for that matter) and a performance chart like I sent you for the A8 and the A8 with GM1. If it was used in production aircraft there would exist the exact same aircraft handbook, as I sent you for the A8.
Lord Dolf Vader, definitive proof of what??? That there is a physical difference between the handling of a D9 and a A8? Ummm guess what. There SHOULD be a difference. You have the same wing, but a different CG plus a different moment arm about which the elevator works, in other words the distance from the aerodynamic chord of the wing to the elevator is different. This will cause a different pitching moment. I'm admittedly no expert in aerodynamics or the modeling of aircraft, and I may have used a term incorrectly in this description, but I've learned alot lately on the subject. Now, is what we have in AH correct? I don't know. And no one has presented information to suggest that the D9 is wrong, just that its different from the A8. Which
is correct.
And don't think I'm against you guys, I'm very interested in the subject myself, and I frequently fly the 190's myself, they're my favorites. I'm just trying to keep a perspective on the issue and look at it subjectively.
