Then by the charts here the Spit 9 is the under achiever, because the version we have will only make around 318 MPH at SL with boost.

I'm not 100% sure about your comment, I will have to test it out non the less.

190 D-11
« Reply #151 on: April 30, 2009, 12:09:28 PM »
since we're talking wish list, I'd like to see a perked version of the 190D. The D-11 was very similar to the D-9 - with the notable addition of two 30mm cannon in the wings, outboard of the existing 20's.

Also, what about Night Ops? I'd call it a new frontier for AHII. Think of the possible add'l a/c: HE219, P-61, JU 388, etc.

Also, why no Me 210/410? Historical accounts show them to be numerous and reasonably successful bomber hunters, if kill-pads for the Allied fighter jocks.

D-11 wasn't in serial production, only 5 protoypes were build out of old A-8's


Sorry Kaz ;)

There's a 410 thread too, and one weighing the pros and cons of a 219, etc. Contribute in those if you have to :)   As far as a perked 190D, it'd best be one optimized for low alt.

Re: the D-11 - at least one served in JV-44... and, as with the 219, there is always the possibility of assembled ac w/o werknummeren (so called "phantom" builds - typically done on site). Otherwise, my bad. I see no way to start a new topic.

Our Spit IX is a 1942 F.Mk IX with a Merlin 61 at +15lbs boost, not a 1943 LF.Mk IX with a Merlin 66 as on that chart.  Ours performs correctly.  The Mk VIII and Mk XVI in AH both have a Merlin 66, so compare them to the chart.

Finally got to duel Machfly today, a couple times before time was up. I've never dueled the way he suggested before, and it was interesting. Instead of a set merge we just stayed in the sector, climbed 'til we found each other and went at it.

Only got 2 duels in, both with him in the Spitfire MkXIV, first with me in Spitfire Mk XVI and then me in the Bf.109K-4.

14vs16 was about a co-e merge and 14vsK he had a bit of alt on me.
'bout 2.5 megs for each film

Better than trying to find a fight in the MA was treating me :) Good fun
I would like to try with standard merge rules as well at least once or twice :)
