AH Fighters - Roll Rate Charts!!

You really should have read the first post, in this part where it says..

Some of the roll rates among planes of simular types(ie. Fw190 series, P-47D series..), are in average numbers - Kingcat confirms that there were minor differences among those types with multiple trials, but the differences were relatively low, and thus, in consideration of the possibility of minor differences due to the pilot factor, the numbers were rounded out.

Tested altitude was 1000ft.


 
 And also, you might have answered your own suspicions :)

At least these two graphs are way different than the results of my tests in DA at different heights and speeds.


 ..

 Different heights might have given different results. Also, the differences between the D-9, A-5, and A-8 are 'rounded up' into an average rate of roll.

 Also, in case of the accel chart, there could be some trouble in understanding it - at leat for me, it took some time to realize the suggested data is not necessarily relevant with the time factor:

 meaning, it is listed data of initial acceleration rates according to certain speeds, and will not actually tell you the time how fast a certain plane might reach certain speeds(I think the differences in time would equate to the area size of the zone between two different graphs..).  There can be other factors contributing to the actual time a plane reach objective speed.

 For one thing, I believe the test data is pretty much worthwhile in accuracy - as it is, no 'stopwatch/human eye' method here -> recordings and calculations of AH game data itself, as mentioned, were used.

 I'll relay some of your skeptical conclusions to Kincat, though. Maybe I can ask him to retest the La-7 and the G-10.
