Jekyll, see how the F-16 turns best at 7.3G?

Well for a WW2 fighter that number will be much lower - but in AH you're probably asleep due to the fact HTC simulated the virtual pilot's G tolerance as that of an overweight 30yr-old flight simmer!

Query:
Although it would not be a "true" corner speed measurment you can see where the plane attains it's maximum G and which speeds it does it in. Go to 10K and do a gentle dive until your above corner speed. Start film then bank 90 degrees and pull back hard. When the blackout ends stop the film and review. The best I have done is around 8G in an La5, it becomes very clear however at what speed you attain corner- BTW most planes have G failure around 7-9G so listen carefully for wings creaking in the blackout.

Corner speed can be calculated easily if you know the stall speed and G limit

CV = sqrt(g limit) * stall speed

If g limit is 7 and stall speed is 100 mph, corner speed would be 265 mph.

I have seen the 180 without loss turn 2 times in the ta. 3 times in the h2h arena.

Please dont jump down my throat im going to say something many wont like to hear.

There currently is some sort of hack going on.

Ive flow 5 yrs + flight siming. i have never seen anyone who could reverse to a ho in under d 1.3.


This happened to me in h2h play by a corsair.
I wasin a la5.

Theabove discussion was very good.
Its just that some have the talent to improve their fm.

You need to not forget this point.

Wells, is the 'g limit' in your formula the structural g limit of the aircraft (where it starts falling apart), or the G limit where the pilot goes into blackout?

Juzz .. my point was whether AH aircraft have a higher turn rate than their WB cousins at the same airspeed.  What are the implications of that?

Blackout limits don't come into it.

Wells- is that figure using power on or power off stall speed?
