He wants Pyro to read it.

This maybe a translation error, but if it is not then the Frank will be quite slow.

Remove drop tank max speed: 400km/h

That is from the translated manual.

[Karnak]

It is saying that you are not supposed to release the drop tanks if you are going faster than 400km/h.

Most external stores had rules like this.  AH ignores them generally.

For example, rockets were to be fired at 270mph or less IIRC.

[Edbert]

RGR Karnak, that makes sense. If the max dive speed was listed as 750hm/h then I'd assume it reaches full compression there? That is only 466mph, must have not had hydraulic elevators then, or the light airframe couldn't take it. Anyone know what constitutes "max dive speed"?

[Karnak]

Again it can mean different things.  IIRC the Spitfire had a max allowed dive speed of 470mph.  This was, IIRC, indicated air speed.  In addition it had a built in saftey margin and many aircraft probably exceeded it without any damage.

is it perked yet?

'84 doesnt need to be perked unless the others follow (P-38L, P-51s, P-47D-40, 109G-10, 190D-9, la-7, yak-9U, N1K)

[Mitsu]

Question:
Which engines does Aces High II Ki-84-I-Ko have?

1800hp? or 2000hp?

[Karnak]

Mitsu,

I'd guess we'll find out when it is released. I doubt that Pyro reads old, very long threads like this one.

I could be wrong of course.

true, but dont perk the 38, not many people can use it very well and some people just wanna learn it first

[1K3]

the '38-L (the best in A2G and A2A imo) should be perked unless we don't get earlier '38 variants, like the '38-G

[ace31st]

when it starts having a big impact in the game ( like to many people can use it well) then perk it. until then keep it off the list

[jetb123]

I cant wait to fly it. looks really cool.
