I have often thought the same thing.

The climb rate they have listed for the Spitfire LF.Mk IX is way, way too low.

3100 fpm initial ?

What are they smoking ?

Weakness of spitfire: High altitude handling ?

Oh, in case you didn't know, Spitfire can deliver devastating mix of bombs and rockets. 2 of each !!!

They think "Wuerger" means "Shrike"???

That's a freaking missle from Vietnam...

Rip- the graphics look nice... that's the cover.

Everything else is the content, thusly the book, and it's very, very, very.... EXTREMELY poorly written. :)

Of course, it's MS... I expected nothing more.

fd ski,

They are Merlin 66 Spits, so in fairness their high altitude handling will suffer, especially with clipped wings.

Apparently they think the Spitfire LF.Mk IXe could carry eight RPs.  I've seen that on Spitfire Mk XIVs, never on IXs.

Initial climb rate on the Fw190 is screwed too, but the P-47 looks OK.  Seems M$ is continuing their CFS tradition where they grossly undermodel non-US aircraft.  In CFS II that took the method of counting fuel weight in the Japanese aircraft, but not the US aircraft.

if it was correct it would be better that AH data...
