Nope. It could go higher, but didn't usually. In AH we get engines that run at max efficiency regardless of alt. No engine failures or temperamental superchargers here.

This is an old discussion, so don't take offense at some of the replies you get.

Pony schmony..   :)

Real men drive jugs.   :cool:

When i here the term pony, i think of "my little pony", the girly toy..

The term "Jug(s)" brings to mind big plump, nice set of.. well you know what im thinking.. doh nevermind you drive the pony.   :D

Err, check which aircraft has the best ROC at 25 and 30k. Hint: it isn't the Bf109 G-10.

I submit that screenshot is a phony, or at least someone else's. Witness:

1.) It ain't a pony.
2.) It is shooting a Bishop.

As it is known that Hang only plays with the pony his parents gave him when he was a little girl, and since we know he trades beauty secrets with all the other dress-wearing Bishops, I conclude this is not really Hangtime's screenshot.  :D

P.S. About the only believable part of the post is the pilot (whoever it may be) is going after a 109.

It's Sanhco, and it's an AH Screenshot, lifted right off the screenshot page.  :)

You may be right. Where can I find that info? www.netaces.org  says it's the G-10 up to 20k and the Spit 9 above that, but I confess I can't find data for the Jug or P38. Jug makes sense: it was designed for hi-alt fighting with a huge turbocharger, even if it did see most action at ground level in the Italian campaign.
