What planetypes in Luftwaffe service were able to outdive a P 51D ? How many of those are modeled in AH ?

Sure 262 could do it. But could Dora do it ? Any other type ?

The 190D9 MIGHT be able to do it.

I'd have to say maybe the TA-152 as well.

Probably a few of them could stay away from a P-51 in the initial part of the dive at low speed.  At low speeds, diving acceleration is a function mainly of thrust and mass.  Only at high speeds (~300 mph and above) does the weight of the plane become more significant than the thrust.

One thing I got to say about the Ta-152H is that those wings...those skinny assed wings. I bet those things rip easy.
