Title: Let's talk deck speed for perk planes
Post by: fscott on January 16, 2001, 01:15:00 PM

Wondering if anyone has true deck speeds for some of our upcoming perk planes. Speed at sea level is not always given under specs in many books. I think deck speed is the #1 most important ingredient in AH combat where most fights take place down low.

Tempest  392 mph
F4u4  380 mph
La7  380mph
Spit14  363 mph
Ta152h  357 mph
P47m  369 mph
F2G  399 mph, yum yum yum
P51h  ???
Ki84  ???
F8F  ???

Any others?

I would assume these to be the first perk planes to be added. No I am not advocating that the F2G will be added, just hoping and putting it in there for perspective.

Bah fast deck speed is only useful if you're running away like a scared little sissy allied baby.

Real Men(tm) fly things that cannot run very well and not turn at all.

I'm a Real Man(tm) until I get over this bad bout of testosterone poisoning I have.
