Title: Time to climb to 10k
Post by: TUXC on April 09, 2007, 01:03:22 PM

Inspired by the F8F Bearcat's insane time to climb to 10000ft from a standing start of somewhere around 90sec, I decided to see what the planes in game were cabable of.

Overall fastest:
Me163:    1:30

Top prop driven:
Spit16:       2:19     5100fpm max climb rate!!!
Bf109K:      2:24
Spit8:         2:25
Bf109G14:  2:25
Spit14:       2:27

Top Russian:
La-5FN:     2:37
La-7:         2:38

Top Japanese:
Ki-84:      2:43

Top American:
F4U-4:      2:46
P-38J/L:    2:48

Top Italian:
C205:     2:49

Tests begain with standing start on runway at a sea level field in the TA. All planes other than Me163 were loaded with typical ammo and 25% fuel. Started watch when firewalled engine and engaged wep. Used autoclimb once near climbing speed except with Me163 which was climbed at 0.54 Mach. Wep ran out on Ki-84 and was reengaged after letting cool down for 15-20sec.

I only ran 1 run with each plane, so order of planes within a few seconds of each other might be off.
