F4U-4 Climb Rate
« on: October 27, 2002, 10:06:32 AM »
Well...

Looking at the F4U-4 climb chart:

http://www.hitechcreations.com/ahhelp/models/f4u4.html

and comparing it against:

http://www.history.navy.mil/branches/hist-ac/f4u-4.pdf


There seems to quite abit of a difference in climb rate, particulary at WEP.  Are the naval historical records wrong?  Or does AH choose to ignore them in favor of a 'detuned' F4U-4 for playability?  I am sure this has been brought up before, but is there some other data supporting the AH F4U-4 performance?


Malta

p.s.  Not that there needs to be. Just curious.
